Stuffs were seemingly all good just a week ago…but fast forward to present-day, and the loving wedding of Tina Knowles-Lawson and her husband/actor, Richard Lawson, has gone from good to non-existence, apparently.
It’s now been found that Mama Tina a.k.a. –Beyonce’s and Solange’s moms– has just filed divorce papers as of Wednesday, July 26, 2023. And get this…she listed the date of separation as Tuesday, July 25, 2023, sighting “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for her divorce plea. This comes after the soon-to-be former-lovebirds’ eight years of wedding and 2 years of dating earlier to.
As per to reports, Tina is asking the judge to deny any potential requests for spousal support from both sides. She’s also reportedly requesting that her name be legally swapped from Celestine Lawson (Celestine is her first name since birth name), to Celestine Knowles- the same surname as her former-husband/dad of her kids, Matthew Knowles.
To some, Tina’s latest divorce filing isn’t a shock. But, for most of Tina’s and Richard’s fans the divorce news is on ‘I-know-you-lying!!’ levels. And there are valid reasons for both.
For those who aren’t surprised about the divorce filing, it’s likely due to the months-long speculation that some of Bey’s most devoted fans began stirring up after realizing that not only hadn’t they seen Richard and Tina together in any pictures in not so far months; but they also noticed that Tina was attending her daughter’s “Renaissance Tour” alone lately…a move that’s apparently out of character for the Lawson duo. There’s more…
In a June 2023 post, Richard Lawson shared a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson, which read, “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment. — Ralph Waldo Emerson” Richard captioned the post with, “One of my favorite quotes. Emerson is a genius. #wisdom #empower #selfrespect #selfreminder.”
