Tina Knowles, the ageless wonder and mother of pop royalty Beyoncé and Solange, and Richard Lawson, the dashing actor known for his role in Divorce in the Black (we kid you not), have finally called it quits after eight years of wedded bliss—or at least wedded something.
Divorce Drama? More Like Divorce Dharma!
After over a year of legal tango, the dynamic duo has decided to part ways with grace, class, and a dash of humor. According to the grapevine (a.k.a. People magazine), they’ve agreed on how to divide their worldly possessions and future fortunes. And guess what? There’s not a single courtroom brawl in sight!
Spousal Support? Nah, We’re Good, Thanks.
In a move that has divorce lawyers everywhere shaking their heads in disbelief, both Tina and Richard have waived their right to spousal support. That’s right—no one’s asking for monthly payments for yoga classes or those extra-special organic smoothies. Instead, Tina has generously agreed to a one-time payment of $300,000 to Richard. Consider it a farewell gift for services rendered, complete with a bow.
What’s Mine Is Mine and What’s Yours Is… Also Mine?
Richard’s walking away with a shiny 2021 Cadillac Escalade, because who doesn’t need a ride that screams “I’m still fabulous”? He’s also keeping every penny he’s earned since they hit the pause button on their marriage, along with his creative masterpieces, royalties, and personal bling. Yes, guys, that means he’s still got his SAG pension plan and the occasional royalty check from that TV show you probably forgot about.
As for Tina, she’s keeping not one, but two luxurious properties—in Los Angeles and Texas. That’s right, she can flip-flop between sipping lattes in LA and enjoying BBQ in Texas whenever she pleases. And don’t worry, she’s keeping all the fancy furniture, fabulous art, and every single appliance she can plug into a wall. She’s also rolling in style with a 2018 Tesla and a 2020 Bentley, because one luxury car just isn’t enough when you’re Tina Knowles.
Oh, and let’s not forget the one percent interest in Kirby Beauty Management LLC and her Matriarch Book “deal” with Penguin Random House. Because when you’re Tina Knowles, even your side gigs are fancier than most people’s main gigs.
No Trash Talking Allowed, Folks!
But wait, there’s more! In a plot twist worthy of a soap opera, Tina and Richard have agreed to a “non-disparagement agreement.” Translation: They’ve promised to keep it classy and won’t be airing any dirty laundry—literally or figuratively. They’ve vowed to agree on all public statements about their divorce, ensuring that no one’s throwing shade at their ex, their children, their grandchildren, or even their grandchildren’s spouses. It’s a no-drama zone, people!
And So, We Bid Adieu
Tina and Richard tied the knot back in 2015 after two years of what we can only assume was a whirlwind romance filled with candlelit dinners and deep conversations about who gets the last slice of pizza. But as they say, all good things must come to an end—or in this case, all *civilized* things.
So here’s to Tina and Richard, proving that even in Hollywood, divorces don’t have to be a battleground. Now, who’s ready for a sequel?
