Solange Knowles, the singer sister of Beyonce, is slated to get married this weekend, according to a report.
Knowles, 28, has kept her marriage plans totally secret, but a source told Us Weekly that she will marry longtime boyfriend Alan Ferguson, who is 51.
The two will be tying the knot in New Orleans, the publication said, adding that the engagement was also secret.
The wedding will take place close to where she lives with her son Julez.
“Though much of the details of the event are being kept under wraps, Us Weekly has learned the weekend’s schedule,” wrote Us.
The group will do a movie night together on Nov. 14 before a rehearsal dinner on Saturday. On Sunday, Knowles and Ferguson will get married in front of friends and family.
It’s worth noting that Jay Z and Beyonce got married secretly in May 2008.
Back in June, Knowles and Ferguson were photographed during her 28th birthday.
Knowles wrote at the time: “Today couldn’t have been more perfect. I couldn’t have smiled harder. Thank you for all of your lovely and wonderful wishes. They warmed my heart and I simply feel grateful for all of the love.”
Later, she gave an interview with Harpers Bazaar about her relationship with Ferguson.
“Luckily, I dated all of the losers ages ago. My love life has been stable for a while,” she said, adding: “It’s a [expletive]-up thing—without conflict it’s a lot harder to write interesting songs.”
“Everyone talks about how, in your 30s, all of these growing pains transition into wisdom and you feel more self-assured and confident, but I think I had a bit of a jump-start on that at 27,” she added. “For the first time in my life, I’m basing every decision around the idea of whether I want to do it or if I think it will be inspiring. And that’s paid off for me.”
