Keys, who is 29, is expecting her first child with her fiancé, producer Swizz Beatz. He's written hits for Beyonce, Jay-Z and others.
Reps for the couple confirmed the news Thursday night.
Keys last year teamed up with Jay-Z for a hit song about New York called "Empire State of Mind." She's among a string of international artists slated to perform at a June 10 concert to mark the start of the World Cup soccer tournament in South Africa.
Beatz has been married before and has two sons.
