Tina Lawson, Beyoncé’s mother, has filed for divorce from Hollywood actor Richard Lawson.
Tina and Lawson are divorcing after eight years of marriage owing to “irreconcilable differences.”
According to court documents obtained by NewsofAfrica, the mother of two filed on Wednesday, requesting that the court suspend its ability to award spousal support to her or Richard.
Rumours of their split began to circulate on the Internet after Lawson’s fans noticed that Tina was absent from his “Black Terror” press tour last year.
After eliminating his surname, she changed her Instagram bio to Tina Knowles, her birth name.
Tina previously married Matthew Knowles from 1980 to 2011. They had two children together, Beyoncé and Solange.
She divorced Knowles in 2011 when it was discovered that he had an extramarital affair with his mistress and fathered a kid with her.
