Tina Knowles, the mother of Beyonce, has filed for divorce from her second husband, actor Richard Lawson, after eight years of marriage.
Tina, 69, submitted the paperwork on Wednesday, July 26, citing ‘irreconcilable differences’ as the reason for the split, according to TMZ. The documents obtained by the publication list the date of separation as Tuesday, July 25.
In the paperwork, Tina also requests ‘to terminate the court’s ability to award spousal support’ to Richard, 76, or herself.
Tina and Richard exchanged vows in April 2015, and they do not have any children together.
Tina, who was born Celestine Ann Beyonce, changed her name to Celestine Lawson upon marrying Richard and reportedly desires to revert to Celestine Knowles, her name from her previous marriage.
Tina has two children with her first husband, Mathew Knowles, 71: superstar daughter Beyonce, 41, and singer and actress Solange, 37.
In 2019, she ended her marriage with Mathew after 31 years, from 1980 to 2011, following revelations that Mathew, who managed Beyonce until 2011, had fathered a child with former Scrubs actress Alexsandra White.
White gave birth to their son Nixon on February 4, 2010, following an 18-month affair with Mathew.
