Tina Lawson, the mother of global superstar Beyoncé, has taken the difficult step of filing for divorce from Hollywood actor Richard Lawson after eight years of marriage.

The decision comes as a result of "irreconcilable differences" between the couple.

According to documents obtained by TMZ, Tina filed for divorce on Wednesday and requested that the court terminate any possibility of awarding spousal support to either party.

Speculations about their split began circulating on the internet when fans noticed Tina's absence during the press tour for Richard Lawson's movie, "Black Terror," which premiered last year.

Additionally, Tina made a significant change on her Instagram bio, reverting to her former name, Tina Knowles, and removing Lawson's last name.

Before her marriage to Richard Lawson, Tina was previously married to Matthew Knowles from 1980 to 2011. The former couple shares two children, Beyoncé and Solange.

The divorce from Matthew Knowles in 2011 was the result of an extramarital affair that he had, leading to the birth of a child with his mistress.

Despite the challenges that Tina has faced in her personal life, she remains a strong and influential figure in the entertainment industry. Her enduring love for her daughters and her artistic contributions continue to inspire and captivate fans worldwide.
