  • BOSSIP IS WHACK & FULL OF HATERS!

    who the hell cares

    Beyonce and Solange are grown.

  • D. Brown

    Tina the marriage vows have you forgotten. Keep God first!

  • oh please

    Stop it these two have been living, seperate and divorced, for the past three years…. and that old geezer has a baby on the way.

  • darealwifey

    @ D. Brown

    If the sanctity of the marriage has already been broken, then what spirit are you continuing to bind yourself to?

    I think this marriage was broken long ago, but they put on a united front for the sake of their girls’ careers.

  • Ne Ne aka iB@S

    excuse me ‘reliable source’, but takin the time out to go search for someones divorce papers is nosey!

  • Vern

    It seems like a marriage isn’t worth a dime anymore!

  • noladebby

    Who cares?

  • nywoman23

    @BEYONCE YOU LIAR I TYPE IN THAT ADDY AND WINDED UP WITH A FRUITY SINGING TO WHITNEY HOUSTON. IS THAT FRUITY YOU AND @ VERN I COSIGN WITH YOU

  • kapreeshus™

  • leah

    This will have an effect on Beyonce the most!

  • Kigali

    @Vern

    The issue isnt marriage its the people involved.

  • Kigali

    Well these two had a good run. They raised their children to adulthood and they did very well. I hope and wish for them the best.

  • Dila

    really???

  • MrTavMarie

    Why does it not surprise me that “Celestine” would be somewhere in Mama Creole’s name? smh…

  • speak english

    its sad family and the love of his family and self respect didn’t keep him at home.

    no respect for matthew.

    i can’t blame tina.

  • G

    DIE N IGGERS DIE.. YOU ALL REEK OF S HIT

  • Lyrically Challenged

    We fell in love
    And who could blame us
    The word was we were just beside ourselves
    And everybody said it wouldn’t last
    Now they wonder
    Why we didn’t last

    We fell in love
    It seemed so righteous
    Couldn’t compare our love to no one else
    And everybody thought we could not win
    It’s no wonder
    Love came to an end

    And our feelings
    Just aren’t feelings anymore
    They’re just words that come from whispers
    From people we don’t know
    And our feelings
    Just aren’t feelings anymore
    They’re just words without emotion
    From people who don’t know

    We fell apart
    The bond was broken
    Should’ve kept our thoughts between ourselves
    And though they say they cared
    They didn’t help
    Makes me wonder
    Should we blame ourselves

    So here we are
    Broken hearted
    What in the world have we done to ourselves
    When everybody said to let it end
    It makes me wonder
    We can’t let them win

    HOOK

    If we’d only just try we could make it by
    And maybe in time we could make it right
    If we only had done what we shoulda done
    We’d both be here still making love
    I wanna know that, that we can go back
    Back to the times when the lovin’ was all that
    When no one could come between our love

    HOOK

  • Black_Orpheus(the original not the remake)

    If this can be believed:

    “Mathew Knowles (born January 9, 1951)”

    This old b-a-s-t-a-rd should be somewhere teaching his grandson how to play “tee ball”, instead of going out there making a new uncle or aunt that will be 5 YEARS YOUNGER than the grandchild.

    “No fool like an OLD FOOL”.

  • Carmen

    Next. Beyonce and Jay-Z…their marriage is a SHAM too.

  • Gmen

    Beyonce and Solange are NOT BLACK

  • bholyway

    Married women unite. If the man you married is trash. Rake his a** and take his cash. Not all men cheat.

  • Re

    WOW. Although I can’t say I’ve been a fan of Matthew Knowles, I kind of liked that he and Tina were married for so long.

    Divorce is sad no matter how old the kids are…but at least it happened now as opposed to then.

  • bholyway

    While you’re with him keep a stash.

  • wash ya a**

    how will they split beyonce’s money

  • SJ

    Well the new Knowles baby is due any day now…She should have been left his azz.

  • T

    That poontang is going to be public domain again.

    Mmmm.

  • Carmen

    Gmen is funny!!! LOL

  • JUDY

    They have been separated for a while so this is no big deal.

  • Mrs. Rance

    Good. I can’t see her hanging around waiting for his new baby to be born. This must be tough for the girls having to work with him.

  • Ms. J

    Ughhh….men has serious issues indeed. To have a baby on the way at his age is just pure stupid…. he got grandkids! Most men are just so childish and selfish to the core.

  • TGIF

    GUESS MAMA WANTED TO BE RID OF HIM BEFORE HIS LOVE CHILD IS BORN.

  • shavondenise

    They’ve probably been separated for years.

  • LovelyLisa

    Good for her, he’s a scallywag! And soon his cash cow Beyonce will find greener pastures. Then all he’ll be left with is a coke habit, a former backup dancer/baby mama and Solange.

  • Rrrrroe Ski Love- A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

    Flip the script on these biaches. I’m headed over to Mama Knowles house to fill in the void, and get my cougar on. I wish that men could get pregnant, cause I’d be poping out twins about this time next year. I want some Beyonce money too! I be talkin bout, you should be takin care of dese kidds, stead of runin rould trying to sell that house of dukie ish!

  • Rock Witchu

    LOL, beyonce’s words about her family not being like The Jacksons continue to come back and bite her in the ass. that’s what happens when you try to diss royalty.

  • tg

    I’m surprised it took her this long. I’m sure she’ll be fine without him.

  • Jer-z Girl

    @ nywoman23 you know, for a ‘Christian’ you are very judgmental especially when you don’t know the people you’re talking about. You don’t know Beyoncé. You’re gossiping and judging which are both no-nos for Christians. . .or are you ‘not that kind of Christian’? Pick a side. In fact, I find it odd that a ‘Christian’ would be on a website like this talking like you are. You seem to be full of the devil yourself.

    Just an observation about someone that I don’t know anything about except what I read on a blog. Just like you.

  • Man, I just don’t care™

    This is Jay Z’s fault.

  • 2dimplzs

    These two people were rarely seen together for a long time. I knew there was trouble in paradise and probably have been for quite some time. I admire women who realize and accept when it’s time to walk away. Once a cheat always a cheat.

  • as seen on t.v.

    Maybe Tina moving on will inspire Katherine Jackson to finally put a period on the end of her sham marriage…

  • Du Juan&Only

    …who cares

  • Cookie

    What goes around comes around!!!!!!!!!!!!!! look how he messed over latoya,kelly and the rest of the destinys child members and solonge his own daughter treat her like trash.all his old tricks and being dirty is catching up with him

  • Logically Speaking

    They probably have been “staying together for the kids” for many years…The kids are grown now and set up so she can exit knowing she was a great mother and wife! “Team Tina”!!!

  • Raha

    Good for Tina, maybe now she can channel some energy into making some clothes that are not absolutely hideous.

    And no matter how grown u are, ur parents are still ur parents, them getting divorced is EXTREMELY painful, more so when they’ve been together for this long.

  • Maygan

    Good For them both. It dosent make sense for tina to go around being Boo Boo Da Fool. Matt needed to take note from Tiger Woods and at least be discreet about his extra marritial affiars. It makes no sense to have hubby runnin around on you and doing everybody else BUT you. Tina is making a stand and tired of looking like a fool. Next step Oprah/Tyra/Wendy

  • CAPTAIN BARKY

    MATTHEW KNOWLES TOOK CARE OF THAT LAZY PIECE OF YELLA THE WHOLE TIME THEY WERE MARRIED. SHE NEVER WORKED A DAY. HE DONT OWE HER NOTHING. SHE AINT NOTHING BUT A MOTHER PIMP…BEYONCE IS HER MAIN HO. SHE LEACHED OFF OF MATTEW UNTIL HER DAUGHTER COULD GET ON THE TRACK AND GET HER TRAP ON THE REGULAR. TINA KNOWLES A.K.A MOTHER PIMP

    ..ALOT OF BLACK MOTHERS ARE LIKE THAT, USE THE KIDS AS A MEANS OF INCOME…..MM HMM NOW RUN TELL THAT!

  • bococalady

    AND BEY SAYS HER FAMILY IS NOT LIKE THE JACKSONS? KIND OF SIMILAR TO ME.

  • WHATEVER….

    anyway…who cares!?

  • B3 Fearless

    Praise the Lord! It’s about time! I wonder what made her finally decide to file divorce because she has stayed with him through his affairs, drug use and rumored love children. I wonder what the final straw was? Well it ultimately doesn’t matter. I’m glad Tina has finally decided to move on cause that man does not deserve her.

  • leah

    Everyone has their own say so about this issue,but the best thing is to give these people privacy.I’m sure this family is hurting inside and just want this to go away.Pray for the family especially beyonce and solange,who is probably taking it hard even though they have their own lives,that’s still their parents.

  • Dirty Sir

    Dayum. Papa Knowles messed that up. How you gonna give up that fine azz woman?

  • Fedup

    What comes around goes around. WE ALL SHOULD NTO BE SURPRISE! Matthew treated Letoya and Letavia like crap in the DC break up dogg those girls. Beyonce sat back and let her father do her dirty work for her. Matthew got what he deserves. Tina done right. Beyonce running around disrespecting the Jackson turn up her nose at them saying her family would nto do sucha thing (rolling my eyes!)….and look who is calling the kettle black. The trick got more skeletons in her closet then a arce of graveyard! THE KNOWLES PERFECT IMAGE IS GOING DOWN THE TUBES. Now the next thing is Jay z and Beyonce arrange marriage will end up in divorce!

  • Sylmarvelous

    Hmm, is this why Beyonce is not tryna have kids right now-she thinks Jay-Z is gonna leave her with all the children?

  • JAMEST

    This is TRULY SAD.

    MATHEW COULDNT RESPECT HIS WIFE.

    OR THEIR FAMILY.

    I JUST HAVE NO RESPECT FOR HIM.

    AND TO THINK HE’S SEXING WOMEN WITHOUT CONDOMS.

    SO SO SO SAD.

Since this news hit the streets, the Knowles figured it was time for a statement to be released to the press. 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. [...]

  • janet

    beyonce is always bragging about her wonderful family like they are better than other people. she said as much about the jacksons. she said her father did’nt use them to get out a bad situation like the jackson family because her family had money already cause they had a home and a jaguar.

  • http://www.WebSlingerzzz.com Platinum Skyyy

    How sad. No matter whose family it is. Sad.

  • BE-BE

    First things first, Gmen if Beyonce & Solange aint black then what are they ? Especially, Solange. And next thing I strongly believe everything happens for reasons. For one thing Beyonce’s parents were seperated once before. But, I truly believe they got back together because of wanting strongly to make their daughter a star. And once Beyonce was truly situated, it was time for them to end their relationship. Because their relationship was no longer built on love and support. It was built on a business relationship. and of course other things. That father of Beyonce started loving the price of fame and how those young women were checking for him. But, like most of those men that get a taste of the life, and the down-falls to that life. He will soon realize what comes with that. As for Beyonce’s mom she will fine. And as for Beyonce and Jay-Z that is a business relationship too. I truly believe it’s all about helping the both of them sell records and get the fan base. But, nobody is really buying it. So, that will probably end too. But, I dont’ wish it on them. So there you have it.

  • Mistyri

    maybe this is where all of beyonce’s breakup/heartbreak songs come from. because she’s said many times how she’s been fortunate for jay z to have been her only relationship, so she hasnt had to go through that. (hypocrital much?). remember though: “…i know how my mama felt gettin ran over…” -Beyonce “Lost Yo Mind”

    What a shame….. When you leave God out don’t expect anything to go right. It doesn’t matter if you are rich or poor. God word never changes.
    He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
    In Malachi 3:6 reads For I am the Lord, I do not change. When people start seeking outer material things be ready to reap what you sow. Galatians 6:7 (New King James Version)
    7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. It’s a natural law to reap what we sow. It’s true in all area’s of are life as well. If you gossip aout your friens, you will lose their friendship. Every action has results. If you plant to please your own desires, you’ll reap a crop of sorrow and evil. If you plant to please God, you’ll reap joy and everlasting life. What kind of seeds are you sowing?
