Not-so-crazy in love anymore: Beyonce's mother Tina Knowles has apparently filed for divorce from her husband of 29 years, Mathew.

TMZ reports that Tina, 55, submitted her divorce papers in Harris County, Texas in November. In October, a pregnant woman named Alexsandra Wright filed a paternity suit against Mathew, 58.

The couple have two children together: Beyonce, 28, and fellow singer Solange, 23.

    Khadija, your such an idiot! You must be insecure to be putting down "white chicks" the way you do. I am a "white chick" and I am not flat in the back or do I have a unshapely body. I am married to a white man and I am not SUBMISSIVE to him or anyone else! Sounds like you must have got ditched for a white woman...HA! You sound like such a racist! I can't stand people like you, white, black, green or yellow!

    Why is this about white vs black women . . MR KNowles cheated with a black woman . . google her . . .SMDH

    This should not even be in the news. Neither one of them is famous, there daughter is. Not news worthy.

    Apparently, the comments are for several different articles. Blackmen like white chicks because they are submissive and accept any and everything. They take care of the black men because noone in their own race will give them the time of day. The black men lie to them and make them feel wanted, when they are actually using them and it makes them feel good to have a trashy chick that takes care of them. When it comes the bodies of the races, we all know that black women have fabulous bodied and the whites are flat at the back and the front as well as wide and unshapely.

    CHEATER!

  • December 18, 2009 - 5:30pm No excuse to cheat

    December 18, 2009 - 2:22pm Joe....Let me tell you something Joe...Men cheat because they are dogs! There is never an excuse to cheat. If you aren't happy then move on...why stay if you are unhappy and then creep around...it makes no sense.

    Chalk it up to absentee parenting, boys learn from a pack of wolves and girls just want someone to love them so bad they become ho's:-( Character is taught at home and until we go back to the value system and properly raising our children this will only escalate:-(

    and these are men who are OLDER than their wives. Imagine what is going on with the husbands of women who married younger guys their junior. That has to be even more cheat ridden.

  • December 18, 2009 - 4:04pm me

    that's why black men play with those girls to get really freaky.

  • December 18, 2009 - 4:01pm me

    no loser, white women can't get enough of black men, black men are hot, their bodies, everything, shut your scrawny butt up. black women are too, they're not wide from the front and flat on the side, LOL. White women are known to get wild in the bed too they do that to get deep dark fantasies out their systems.

  • December 18, 2009 - 3:19pm kim

    Tina I'm praying for you and your family. I rather see you happy then to put up with a cheating man. Good luck and God Bless.

    So does this mean we will have more breaking news because a man cheated on his wife, or because he isnt in the grand world of golf it wont make CNNs top story.

  • December 18, 2009 - 2:43pm Beautiful

    Black men just can't get enough of white women. It's funny, they want as many white women as they can get.

  • December 18, 2009 - 2:22pm Joe

    Maybe if Tina was paying more attention to her husband and marriage instead of focusing everything on riding her daughters' coattails, maybe he wouldn't have been cheating! (Just a different perspective!)

    This family is private and have handled their biz like so. You'll never get an interview with either of them being disrespectful or playing one another. Take Notes and Lessons Spears, Simpsons and Kardashians.

  • December 18, 2009 - 1:58pm black wife of a cheater

    Wow just because it is a black wife that is why ... NANCY O DELLS LAST DAY IS TODAY SO LETS TALK ABOUT THAT FOR A CHANGE AND THE SCANDAL OF WHY SHE REALLY HAD TO QUIT..

  • December 18, 2009 - 1:56pm Real Talk

    @stunned 11:53 am - are you looking at your parents? @amy 11:57 am - this is one of the best families in the biz. they're all getting their own money and NONE OF THEM HAVE PLAYED THEMSELVES PUBLICLY like the Simpsons, Spears, Kardashians, etc. Speak on your own family. @marysmitters 12:16pm - GO BACK TO THE TRAILER PARK YOU CAME FROM AND SCREW YOUR DADDY. You're clearly getting your own race mixed with this story because it sounds oh so familiar. White men are the biggest pro chasers out.
