Alicia Keys and her new beau, R & B producer Swizz Beats, finally proclaimed their relationship to the world at the at the Gotham magazine party in New York last night. While the couple made googly eyes at each other for the photogs, there’s more to this love story.

Regardless, this isn’t the first time that Alicia and Swizz have been photographed together. The two were snapped posing with Tommy Hilfiger at his Flagship Opening celebration at Tommy Hilfiger Fifth Avenue back in the fall of 2009. But now they’re clearly ready for the world to know they’re fallin’ for each other. Click through the pics to see if it looks like the real thing. More »

Relive some of the best and worst pop star decisions from Oscars gone by—and we’re not just talking fashion (ahem, J.Lo and Ben Affleck).
