Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz have celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary with a pair of heartfelt dedications.

On Thursday (July 31), the couple shared intimate never-before-seen photos of each other, with Swizz even providing a voiceover to a montage of him and his wife, who he shares two younger sons with, Egypt, 14, and Genesis, 10.

"Wow, 15 years of love. Fifteen years of fun. Fifteen years of best friends. Fifteen years of beautiful kids," Swizz said in the voiceover. "Fifteen years of traveling. Fifteen years of the white side. Fifteen years of growth. Fifteen years of love. Fifteen years of passion. Fifteen years of art."

By the end of the voiceover, Swizz said that he and Keys are "just beginning." "Fifteen years of wow, just wow," he continued. "Fifteen years feels like five. That's crazy–when 15 years feels like five. Happy anniversary, my love. We've spent so much time having fun that 15 years feels like five. And we're just starting."

While Swizz thanked his wife for being "ultra-amazing," Keys also posted a tribute of her own, with a carousel that showed the couple at a party.

In the caption read a poem about the couple being "sublime" and "devoted."
"15 years of magic!! ✨✨✨ And we’re just getting started 🥰" she concluded.

The Deans have dropped gems throughout the years about what keeps their marriage strong, with both insisting that they've never argued.

"Marriage is definitely a big word, but look at it like your best friend," Swizz told Us Weekly in March. "The communication is there. We’ve never had an argument. Since we’ve been together, our kids [have] never seen it; never seen us raise our voice [or] never seen us yell. Never seen us curse at each other. Why? Because of communication."

The producer was previously married to singer Mashonda, with whom he shares an 18-year-old son, Kasseem Dean Jr. He also has an older son, Prince, 24, and a daughter, Nicole, 17, from previous relationships.
