Beyoncé's Mom, Tina Knowles-Lawson, Files For Divorce From Husband Of 8 Years

Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles-Lawson, and actor Richard Lawson are ending their marriage after eight years.

Knowles-Lawson, a fashion designer, filed for divorce from the “Poltergeist” star on Wednesday, according to Los Angeles court documents obtained by several news outlets. The two married in April 2015.

She cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason, and listed Tuesday as their date of separation. She asked the court to terminate its ability to award spousal support to her or Lawson. She also asked for her name to be restored to Celestine Knowles.

She took that surname when she married Mathew Knowles, who is father to their two daughters, superstar singers Beyoncé and Solange Knowles. They split in 2009 after more than three decades together, finalizing their divorce in 2011.

Knowles’ last Instagram post featuring Lawson was in March, when they attended the Vanity Fair Oscars party together.

“Never been one to waste some good light!!! so we had to sneak a picture at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party last night with my boo,” she wrote at the time.

Lawson also was previously married. He and his first wife, Denise Gordy, are parents to “Pretty Little Liars” actor Bianca Lawson and a son, Ricky Lawson.
