Rap-Up.com || Report: Beyoncé’s Mom Files for Divorce

After almost 31 years of marriage, the parents of Beyoncé and Solange, Mathew and Tina Knowles, have reportedly split up.

According to TMZ, Tina Knowles filed for divorce from her husband Mathew in Harris County, Tex., last month, in an attempt to end their marriage. The filings say Tina and Mathew “ceased to live together as husband and wife on or about January 5, 2009,” the exact day of their 30th wedding anniversary.

In October, a paternity suit was reportedly filed against Mathew from a woman named Alexsandra Wright, who claimed to be six months pregnant with Knowles’ child. It is uncertain if that led to their separation.

Mathew and Tina have both been instrumental in the careers of their children. Mathew runs the record label Music World Entertainment and manages his daughter Beyoncé. Tina Knowles is a stylist and one of the founders of House of Deréon, a fashion line she helped launch in 2004 with her eldest daughter.

@Ghetto Fab, IT DOESN’T MATTER HOW SHE PERFORMED OR WHAT SHE PERFORMED THE POINT IS THAT THERE A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE OSCARS AND 106 ANDF PARK AND KERI WILL NEVER PERFORM AT THE OSCAR WHY YOU ASK BECAUSE SHE IS A LAME A UGLY AALYIAH

@QUEEN BEYONCE,
And Beyonce isn’t a lame Tina Turner/Diana Ross spin off?? C’mon now and Keri has performed other places besides 106 and Park so stop exaggerating. Keri Hilson just hit the scene where Beyonce has been on the scene longer including DC/solo. Its not even an equal comparison so take a dirt nap. You are not doing Beyawnce proud.

celebrities and divorce….why am i not surprised??? It’s either they get divorced after 2 months of marriage or they get divorced after 30 years of being together. WOW…I’m shocked. why’d she wait 30 years to end a marriage?? That’s crazy….he must’ve done something REALLY bad. and the whole love child thing…don’t we have to wait until the paternity test results come out first before we pass judgement??i hope beyonce releases a statement or something coz I wanna hear how she feels about it.

she’s taking shots with alicia to get past this downfall of her parents marriage. It was already pretty obvious there were some issues with the marriage…beyonce would always reference her mom but not dad…so there were problems.

Tina and matthew been separated! They just never went public about it! The knowles try so hard to keep everything HUSH HUSH!!!! But they couldn’t no longer because matthew mistress let out the secret about his newborn child. If that had not happen! We wouldn’t have none their were getting a divorce. Trust me there is plenty more drama to come! It might be that kelly is his love child. You never know!
