Beyonce’s mother Tina Knowles has reportedly filed for divorce from her second husband Richard Lawson after eight years of marriage.

Tina shares her superstar daughter Beyonce with her ex-husband Mathew Knowles, 71 – who she officially split from in 2011.

Following the star’s parent’s parting of ways, the fashion designer met and married Richard, 76.

According to documents obtained by TMZ , Tina cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.

The businesswoman, 69, and Richard tied the knot in 2015 in Newport, California. The couple said ‘I do’ onboard a 140-foot yacht in an intimate ceremony alongside Tina’s daughters Beyoncé and Solange.

At the time Tina revealed that it was her granddaughter Blue Ivy Carter – who Beyoncé shares with husband Jay-Z – that pushed her to remarry after a family outing.

‘We went on a boat with Beyoncé and Jay-Z and when we came out one night dressed to go to dinner, Blue said, ‘Oh, y’all look beautiful. When are y’all getting married?”‘ the matriarch recalled to People in 2015.

‘Richard said, “Oh, Blue, soon. Do you approve?”‘

Last month, Tina was touring with Beyonce as she took her Renaissance tour global and concluded the highly-anticipated extravaganza’s UK run at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. 

While on vacation, the star’s mum even made time to support a fellow Destiny’s Child star and watched on as Kelly Rowland performed at Mighty Hoopla.

After watching the 42-year-old wow in a skin-tight black catsuit, Tina uploaded a video of the show to her Instagram with the caption: ‘My Kelly Rowland killing it on Saturday in London !

‘So disappointment, I had an emergency on Tuesday and had to come back to the states early.

‘But I was there in total spirit baby and you killed it. Congratulations.!!!!!!’

‘And can you get any finer? [sic].’ 

Metro.co.uk contacted Tina’s reps for comment.
