Tina Knowles breaks silence on Richard Lawson's divorce

Thanks to her huge social media following, she makes headlines whenever she posts or gets posted.

Tina Knowles is finally opening up about her love life, sharing reasons behind her divorce from ex-husband Richard Lawson.

After 10 years of priceless moments, Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter’s mother, Tina Knowles, pulled a shocker when she filed for divorce in 2023.

The two were friends for over three decades before dating. In 2018, Lawson revealed in an interview that he had always admired Tina Knowles.

The 71-year-old shared why she divorced Lawson in her new memoir, Matriarch.

The book, which was released last month, dives into Tina Knowles' marriage and how she felt her relationship was no longer positive for them.

Tina Knowles acknowledges that despite speaking to her ex-husband about her feelings, she realised it was not working.

According to the book, she realised that she "deserved so much more." The book further notes that Knowles “wanted to be happy.”

At the time, Tina Knowles mentioned that she thought she would never be "cherished, loved, and respected."

Tina Knowles felt pressured to show others they could “find a second chance at love.”

Little is known about Tina Knowles; if she is with someone, she once mentioned it around the time of the release of her book.

Speaking to PEOPLE at the time, she said:

"I am spending time with a friend."

Surprisingly, the month Tina Knowles filed for divorce was the same month Jay-Z’s mother, Gloria, tied the knot in a lavish wedding in New York attended by close family and friends.

This was her second divorce after calling it quits with Mathew Knowles. The two married in 1980 but separated in 2011.

Two years later, her relationship with Lawson went public before the two tied the knot in 2015 in California.

However, in 2023, she filed for divorce, which was finalised a year later. Lawson hasn't talked much about her failed relationship with the media.
