Tina Knowles Opens Up About Ending Her Marriage
The former salon owner opened up about her tumultuous breakup with Richard in her new memoir, sharing how she “woke up” one morning and realized it “needed to end.”
“Even though we had been friends for many years before our 10-year relationship, and he had wonderful qualities, we just couldn’t bring out the best in each other,” she recalled. “I just matured at 69 and realized that I deserved so much more. I wanted to be happy. I wanted someone to be happy when I walked into the room.”
“If I stayed in this marriage, I would never feel complete, loved, respected, and truly seen. If you’re not each other’s top priority, nothing else in the marriage matters,” Tina explained.
She listed irreconcilable differences in the divorce papers and moved on easily after making the life-changing decision.
“I chose to divorce with a heavy heart, but not without a lot of resentment, and I haven’t lost a single night of sleep over it,” she added, noting that it felt very different from her first divorce from Matthew Knowles in 2011, which left her feeling like she was “going to die.”
Ahead of Matriarch’s release, Tina exclusively told Us Weekly that she was still “crying” while recording some passages for the audiobook. “I think, ‘How many times am I going to read this and cry?’ The answer is forever, because it’s my life. It’s my history,” she said in March. “My biggest hope is that people will understand the importance of exploring their past, understanding their ancestors, and passing that legacy on to their children and grandchildren. I hope this book achieves that.”
Meanwhile, Beyoncé simply wished her mother wouldn’t reveal too many family secrets.
