Tina Knowles has filed for divorce from her husband, Richard Lawson, after eight years of marriage.
According to TMZ, Beyoncé‘s mom went to court on Wednesday (July 26) to file the documents which the outlet obtained. Tina reportedly lists the date of separation as Tuesday (July 25), citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.
In the documents, Tina, whose real name is Celestine, is asking the court to terminate the court’s ability to award spousal support to her or Richard, and she is asking to have her name restored to Celestine Knowles.
The former couple tied the knot in April 2015. While the two do not have children together, Tina has two kids with her first husband, Mathew Knowles: Beyoncé and Solange. Richard also has two children: Bianca and Ricky.
