Beyonce's Parents call it Quits
December 23, 2009 • By Chrisnatha Derosier

Tina Knowles, mother of pop star Beyoncé, has begun the legal proceedings for divorce from her husband of almost 30 years, Matthew Knowles, according to recently released court documents.

Tina plans to remain friends with her husband.

"The decision to end our marriage is an amicable one. We remain friends, parents, and business partners. If anyone is expecting an ugly messy fight, they will be sadly disappointed. We ask for your respect of our privacy as we handle this matter," said Tina Knowles.
 
The divorce filing came about a month after Mathew was named in a paternity suit. Los Angeles resident and actress Alexsandra Wright claims in the lawsuit that he is the father of her unborn child.
 
Tina and Mathew wed in 1980. In addition to 27-year-old Beyonce, they have another daughter, 23-year-old singer Solange.
 
Tina Knowles launched the House of Dereon clothing line with Beyonce in 2006.
