Things were seemingly all good just a week ago…but fast forward to present-day, and the loving marriage of Tina Knowles-Lawson and her husband/actor, Richard Lawson, has gone from good to non-existence, apparently.

It’s now been discovered 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 request. This comes after the soon-to-be ex-lovebirds’ eight years of marriage and two years of dating prior to.

According 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 changed from Celestine Lawson (Celestine is her first name since birth name), to Celestine Knowles- the same surname as her ex-husband/father of her kids, Matthew Knowles.

Many Fans Shocked…Some Not, Here’s Why

To some, Tina’s latest divorce filing isn’t a shock. However, 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 photos in recent 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 couple. 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.”

After peepin’ his post, one fan asked Richard why he wasn’t “overseas” attending the European leg of Beyonce’s Renaissance Tour” alongside his wife, who was already there having a blast:
“Why aren’t you with Mrs. Tina overseas? Concerned fan.”

Richard replied back to let the fan know everything was supposedly ‘good’ with he and the Mrs.:

“@crms*** I’m doing a series here in LA and working on my film. Thanks for your concern. It’s all good.”

By June 5, 2023, more fans took to Richard’s Instagram to voice their concern:

“Where is Ms. Tina? I never see pictures of you two together anymore,” one fan wrote…which the prompted another fan to reply, “I was thinking the same.”

Is Miss Tina still married to Richard Lawson?

“Is Miss Tina still married to Richard Lawson?” another wrote.

Mixed Signals: They Seemed Happy A Week Ago

As if Richard’s and Tina’s mixed signals weren’t already confusing enough…then came even more confusion. After neither of them have shared photos of themselves together online in months…just a week prior to the divorce filing on July 17, 2023, they made a rare appearance together at the LA Premier of actor, Glynn Turman’s, documentary, “The Life Of Glynn Turman”…and they looked happy as hell together!

Their LA outing seemingly shut down the prior separation rumors altogether. But clearly, that move was just a ‘happy front’ for the cameras, because obviously ‘everything ain’t all good’ in their marriage. If it was, then Tina Knowles-Lawson wouldn’t have jetted over to divorce court to legally tell Richard *in the words of her daughter, Bey’* ‘To the left, to the left…everything you own is in that box to the left’…well, not in those exact words of course, but y’all catch my drift.

Hopefully they’ll be able to patch their marriage up in due time…but if not, wishing them a stress-free, amicable divorce process.

Welp, like Solange, even her moms, Tina Knowles-Lawson, has a tipping point- she’ll only allow so much BS to enter into her life. That was the case when a fan tried to check her over her recent Instagram post about her husband/actor, Richard Lawson’s daughter.

Most of us have learned by now that  actress, Bianca Lawson, is Richard’s daughter and if you haven’t heard…SURPRISE! Now that we have the Lawson family tree outta the way, here’s why Mama Tina just clapped back over her stepdaughter, Bianca.

The Post That Started It All

https://www.instagram.com/p/BZ15VJNh6lN/

It all started when Tina posted a photo of Bianca, on The Real talk sow, with a caption that read, “My beautiful bonus Daughter on The real with the wonderful hosts of ‘The Real’ I will be Co- hosting on Oct. 11th tune in.”

Fan’s Reaction & Tina’s Clapback

simplyladymay: Bonus daughter???? The entire world knows you have 2 biological children BEYONCE AND SOLANGE..STOP CALLING YOUR STEPCHILDREN BONUS..KELLY’S SON IS YOUR GRANDSON…YOU’VE KNOWN KELLY SINCE SHE WAS 8, 9 YEARS OLD…TITAN IS YOUR GRANDSON… RICHARD’S CHILDREN ARE YOUR STEPCHILDREN…STOP WITH THE BONUS SON AND BONUS DAUGHTER… SOUNDS BAD.”

Tina’s Response

“Hello simplyladymay I respect everyone’s opinion even if I don’t agree with it! Yes Kelly is absolutely my daughter she has been with me since she was 11 years old and thus you have a wonderful mother I consider myself her mother as well and yes Titan is definitely my grandson. As for my husband’s children who I consider a wonderful bonus from God. (I do not like the term stepmother or stepchildren) whom I choose to call My Bonus Children because bonus means an unexpected plus or added extra. They are amazing unexpected plus. So no shade in this posting, only my attempt to educate and give you my point of view.”

And boom! Mama Tina stood up for herself, but still did with much style and grace. Gotta love it! On a side note, what’chall think about her “bonus daughter” reference to Richard Lawson’s daughter?

What happened was that she accidentally threw her ring when she was throwing beads. Ouch! But here’s the thing, they are offering a reward, but they aren’t saying how much!

“Honorary Muse Solange lost her wedding ring between Toledano and Foucher. Reward if found!,” the Krewe of Muses (an all-female Mardi Gras organization who gave Knowles her honorary title to recognize her contribution to the arts) wrote on their Facebook page. But the problem is that they aren’t saying how much the reward will be, so what do you do, keep a custom ring that could be worth a million dollars from a celebrity, or call it in for a reward that could be only $500?

The ring in question? The lovely gold band given to her on her wedding day by husband Alan Ferguson. And since you wouldn’t give just any ring to the girl who wore not one but two caped jumpsuits on her wedding day, her ring features a unique open design with two bezel-set stones of different sizes facing one another.

And the star appears to love her adopted hometown as much as they love her. “As the granddaughter of Agnez Dereon and Lumis Albert Beyince of New Iberia, Louisiana, I moved to New Orleans to be closer to my roots, for deeper self-reflection, and to be in the midst of a continuously inspiring and rich culture that I feel an endless amount of connection and gratitude for,” Knowles said in a statement at the time she was announced as Honorary Muse.

“This city has shown me the universe in ways I could never put in words, and I can’t wait to celebrate all of it right on top of that red high heeled shoe.”
