Tina Knowles files for divorce from Richard Lawson

Beyoncé’s mom, Celestine “Tina” Knowles, is about to be a single lady after filing for divorce from actor Richard Lawson. The philanthropist, 69, filed Wednesday from her second husband, 76, whom she married in 2015. The couple split just one day prior, according to the date of separation listed on the documents, which attribute the marriage’s demise to irreconcilable differences. In addition to requesting the restoration of her surname to Knowles, the “House of Deréon” co-founder requested the court not award spousal support to either party, according to TMZ.
