Xtina's in the Know: Beyonce's Parents Set to Divorce

All hasn't been well in paradise for a while concerning Matthew and Tina Knowles, the parents to super-star singer Beyonce.

After rumors of an alleged illegitimate child being fathered by Matthew Knowles back in October, Tina Knowles has filed for a divorce.

A statement has been released by both parties confirming that the 29 year long marriage will come to an end with no drama involved.

The statement is just after the break...

The decision to end our marriage is an amicable one. We remain friends, parents,  and business partners. If anyone is expecting an ugly messy fight, they
will be sadly disappointed. We ask for your respect of our privacy as
we handle this matter.

News of a divorce can be a painful thing for all parties involved, especially the children of the divorcees.  Hopefully Beyonce and Solange are taking the news in a manner that will allow them to continue with their own lives without much interruption and in a healthy way.
