"We've been married for 7 years today and I'm like **SO excited!!!!!" Keys wrote on Instagram. "We're even more in love, more full of potential and more excited about our future. We look at each other with the wonder of a child and I'm in awe of us everyday!"

"I'm proud of the love we emanate and share with all we connect with and I can't wait for every day of the rest of our lives!! Thank you for showing me what love freedom feels like. Here's to endless blessings, growth, communication and Bliss! #deananniversary #7 #love #loveuniverse," she added.

Swizz Beatz, born Kasseem Dean, took to his own account to share a loving post and a collage of moments from his relationship with Keys.

"7 years ago today Magic was made," he wrote. "I can't believe time move so fast when you're having fun and staying young with love 100 plus more years to go inshallah thank you @aliciakeys for 7 years of love and support our kids are also very lucky to have you #Deansanniversary #7."

Keys and Swizz Beatz married on the French island of Corsica in 2010. The couple share two sons, 6-year-old Egypt Daoud and 2-year-old Genesis Ali, whom Keys discussed in an interview with E! News in September.

"I know that they're picking up on stuff, but I don't know how exactly aware they are, and I like that," the star said of her sons beginning to discover and explore their interests.

"I love them to just be able to be innocent and start to create their own world and what the world looks like for them," she added. "I hope that eventually they'll start to know more and more -- who I am -- and that's part of it."
