A report on Friday is saying Beyonce’s mother, Tina Knowles, just got engaged to her longtime boyfriend Richard Lawson.
Knowles, a fashion designer, divorced her long husband, Matthew Knowles, a few years ago.
But now, gossip site MediaTakeOut.com reported that a “person close to Tina told us that Tina and Richard were engaged earlier this week.”
She’s been dating Lawson, an actor, for about a 18 months.
It adds: “The two met many years ago, and built a strong friendship. As years went by and both their situations changed, that friendship grew into romance . . . and then into a true and sincere love and respect for each other. We can honestly say that these two were meant for each other.”
