The couple of three years kissed passionately as they celebrated with an outdoor party during a Hawaiian vacation.
Carrying
balloons and learning how to hula, the family let their hair down as
they laughed easily with friends for the special celebration.

With hardly a spot of makeup on and her short, partly buzzed hair worn frizzy and untamed, she looked like a natural island beauty.
She appeared extremely relaxed as she laughed with guests and was seen carrying a glass of what looked to be red wine.

In addition to a hula lesson on an open field, there were tables set up with arts and crafts projects and plenty of cans of Play-Doh. The singer happily passed out helium balloons in the shapes of stars.
Egypt - who has a buzz cut that matches mom's - was having as much fun as he could get his hands on. Wearing camouflage shorts, a Mickey Mouse T-shirt and going barefoot, he had a blast playing with paint and even got some on his hands and face.

She will next perform in Dubai on November 15 and after that will visit Japan and China.
Her tour ends on December 20 in New Zealand.
Still, she finds time to make sure her son has all he needs.
'Being a parent has made me more open, more connected to myself, more happy, and more creative,' she said to Scholastic Parent & Child‘s magazine earlier this year.
'I’m more discerning in what I do and how I do it. It’s just made me a better person all the way around.'
It was not challenging for the R&B singer to get used to motherhood.
'What’s been surprisingly easy is just how natural parenthood feels,' she said.
'I feel great about how easily I’ve fallen into the role. I love it!'
She is so close to her little guy that she has difficulty leaving him for work.
'What’s been surprisingly hard about becoming a mom is being away from him,' she says, then adds, 'and trying to find that magical balance for everything, which I kind of expected.'
The Keep a Child Alive‘s ambassador, tried to make family life as normal as possible for Egypt, who travels constantly with his mom.
'We love to go to art galleries and to the park,' she shares.
'We love to do painting days and to visit our family — and we also love to run around our house and just go nuts!'

'We like any books that are about trucks because Egypt is fascinated by them,' she has said,
'He can look at a picture of trucks and name every kind that there is - even an excavator.'
Her husband Beatz has two other children, Kasseem Jr., aged four, and Prince Nasir, 10-years-old, from previous relationships.
The singer recently sold her Manhattan penthouse, which has floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
She listed it in 2012 for $17.95 million.
She and Swizz bought the house in 2010 from fellow musician Lenny Kravitz for $12.75 million.
The star has also been busy producing her first film, The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete, which stars Jennifer Hudson.
This summer she buzzed the side of her head.
'At the time, and now in my life, I'm really about kind of shedding old things that it's time to let go of, and that's been a lot about what this whole Girl on Fire album is really representing for me,' she said earlier this month.
'And so at the time that I cut it, I needed to let go of all of those years of energy, of anything that ever held me back, or anyone that I needed to let go of. And it felt like a reinvigorated empowered me.'
