*UpDate*: Tina and Matthew Knowles Confirm They are Getting a Divorce

Posted on December 20th, 2009 - By Bossip Staff

We broke it to you first
that Tina and Matthew Knowles are finally calling it quits. 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.

It seems that the baby allegations would be the last time the word ‘DUMMIE’ would be stamped on the forehead of Tina Knowles. She filed for divorce a month after Matthew was hit with a paternity suit for his alledged unborn child. Matthew looks like he’s a shady individual, the devil in disguise really. Surprise she put up with his sh*t this long. Damn, Bey Bey and Jay-Z no longer have an example to model their marriage after.

    Wow, I hate to see the industry chew up another marriage.

  • HEARTLESS

    matthew knowles has two child from two different women other than tina knowles. all the same divorce will be favourable to matthew knowles has this will give him the freedom to be with females that are young enough to be with her daughter but tina knowles will have a problem getting young men cause she is way to old and ugly .

  • Honey (Keep Me Near the Cross…LOL)

    After all these years it is sad to see another couple break up. Matthew will feel it. even though I don’t care for the two but I know that woman probably stuck in there with him and their kids. SMH

    So lame, so lame. No one is paying your divorce any attention. The world is focused on Tiger and Elin. Who the hell are you?

  • TBOY504

    WHO CARES ABOUT YOU OLD FROUGHTS.IF IT WASN’T FOR BEY YOU’LL WOULDN’T BE SH=T.YOU NEED TO BE WORRYING ABOUT THAT MANIFEST YOU CALL A DAUGHTER THAT CAN’T SING.AND ANYWAY JAYZ GOING TO PUT YOUR OLD A== IN THE OLD FOLK HOME ANYWAY!!HA HA

  • Logically Speaking

    She had to be a good example to her daughter…Once that man disrespects you past a certain point you need to LEAVE!!

  • Sylmarvelous

    Do they really have proof that he’s the father or that he really cheated?! I’m not saying that he didnt’ but do they really have proof?! Cause how many times have you heard a b*tch that wants money, claims that some dude fathered her baby?! They should do an amnio(you can get dna from the baby’s fluid while the mother is still pregnant)…I bet Beyonce regrets doing that song about her dad a while back cause he ended up being a bad example…

  • JOE CAMEL

    matthew knowles need a upgrade and tina knowles is too old and she needs to be traded in for something new,young and fresh.

  • getting down

    IF and that’s a big IF Matthew does have a child on the way, Did Tina wait to divorce Matthew because she would get a larger divorce settlement and a larger portion of their joint assets because he fathered a child during their marriage.

    It would be interesting to know if “Beyonce’s empire” is written somewhere as part of their joint assets to divide up during the divorce. lol

    **side note – Tina (the so-called fashion expert) needs a better bra to lift her up…She should know that.

    *****************************************

    When a man cheats on you numerous times that is “PAST A CERTAIN POINT” (as you said). She should have left a long time ago…Staying with a man who cheats on you is NOT being a good example to your daughters.

    It sounds like you think making a baby is “PAST A CERTAIN POINT” and that’s when it’s time to leave.

  • facingreality

    People have to be careful how they try and act as though their stuff don’t stink. Matty (as old as he is) is not only getting a divorce but is about to become a father again. Tina put up with his stuff for YEARS while Bey out here talking about ‘writing’ songs to empower women she should have been empowering her mom.

    Let us not forget how she tried to say that the Jackson family was so much different than hers. Yea right! Your father is no different if not worst for Matty has put her out there like a p.r.o.s.t.i.t.u.t.e for the dollar – something Joe Jackson has NEVER done with his daughters. Nor were any of them unwed and pregnant at 17.

    Also it has been rumored for years that Matty has a very bad coke habit – haven’t heard that about old Joe. So whose family is better now BEY!

  • olsweetdickwillie (WHO GONNA CHECK ME BOO?)

    Really??? who didnt see this coming??? They would have parted ways a long time ago if Bey didnt get famous!!!

  • http://Bossip Deonna

    By the time I am 34-36 imma need to know weather you want me or not while I am in my prime. Don’t wait untill i’m wrinkled, or is it my fault? That why I say when I become a certain age I will be paying close attention, imma need to know!!!

  • satch

    @deonna that sad thing is a lot of fine black women don,t wake up until they are 40 when it,s too late.i,m amazed at the fine single older sisters who are avalable,yea the man could have messed up but a lot of times they think a bigger better deal is around the corner
    and try to hold out then they 40 yrs old by then bros settling down ,hooking up with women of other races etc.what i,m telling you is arrogance will leave you alone at 50 yrs old

  • burito9245

    That’s just good ol’ Karma kicking all of them in the a.s.s. right now. Should think before they open up their damn mouths about another celebrity family that is way more popular than them. I think for Beyacki to make that comment about the Jacksons, it sounds like an regular topic within their own family. The Knowles comes off as smuggish people as if their better than everybody else.

  • Maygan

    SUSPECT!!! LOL! This is very similiar to the statement they released when Kelly dropped Matty as a manager.Almost exactly the same verbatim. Dang, Matty has it down packed by now…

    Another person blaming the black women and using her as the reason why he went to another race.

    Same story, different day!….. When will they take responsibility for their lives and the choices THEY MAKE.

  • Just me

    WOW! Now I can finally continue with my day… who gives a F#@$? As for her age, she looks a hell of a lot better than Matthew who looks totally like someone’s great grandfather… I guess you people on this post have never seen a 40 or older person who has not wrinkles… Must be bad genes :(

    What! divorce mean you complete ending or keep separate.
    If you can remain friend than you can remain married.

    why does he feel the need to tell us there won’t be a messy fight? god these idiot a*s*s knowles always feel they’ve got to prove something to the world: that being that they are not ghetto trash, which is what they really are and everyone knows it.

  • mel

  • Ms. J

    Very sad….yes, the female probably made sure to get pregnant to secure her future. The reality is, he probably was cheating for a minute, but Mrs. Knowles got pissed he brought a baby in the picture.

  • Ms. J

    I forgot to mention that now that he has a paternity suit, Mrs. Knowles aint gon share her money with the other woman….I don’t blame her on that one!

  • Black_Orpheus(the original not the remake)

    I’m in no way excusing the pathetic old a-s-s-hole Matthew, but this was a pretty trifling young woman too — who outside of Martians DOESN’T know that Matt Knowles has been married to Tina since the damn Great Depression???

    Does anybody NOT think this pregnancy was PLANNED ???

    Two trifling a-s-s-holes here.

  • them

    beyonce married her father. she saw dysfunction and she is mimicking it. it happens all the time.

  • White Women Rule
