Beyonce’s parents are finally divorced. Tina Knowles and Mathew Knowles split after Mathew’s affair with a younger woman which resulted in a love child.
Tina — who also has daughter Solange with Mathew — re-filed the papers on August 30, and stated the marriage was “insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities” which “prevents any reasonable expectation of reconciliation”.
Tina first filed papers a month after Mathew was hit with a paternity suit by actress Alexsandra White, who gave birth to a son, Nixon, in February in February 2010.
Although he initially denied he was the father, a DNA test later proved Mathew was the child’s dad.
Earlier this year, Beyonce — who is currently pregnant with her first child with husband Jay-Z — dropped Mathew as her manager, but admitted she was very thankful for everything he had done for her as both a parent and a mentor. [via]
