The couple were issued a final decree of
divorce in a Texas court last month –
two years after stylist Tina originally
filed legal papers.
The couple separated in 2009 after it
emerged Mathew, who managed his
daughter’s career until earlier this year,
had fathered a love child.
Their original divorce filing was
dropped last year after both failed to
appear in court, leading Tina to file a
divorce petition again in August this
year.
In court documents, Tina, 57, said the
marriage was ‘insupportable because of
discord or conflict of personalities’
which ‘prevents any reasonable
expectation of reconciliation
Tina’s original divorce filing came just a
month after it emerged Mathew, 60, had
fathered a child with former Scrubs
actress Alexsandra White, who was
pregnant at the time.
White, 40, gave birth to their son Nixon
on February 4 2010 following an 18
month affair with Mathew.
Although he initially denied he was the
father, a DNA test later proved
otherwise.
In March, Beyonce severed business ties
with her father, but insisted she was not
estranged from him on a father-
daughter level, despite her parents’ split.
Mathew had managed Beyonce’s career
from a teen wannabe to girl group
bandmember with Destiny’s Child to
superstar solo singer.
He has been responsible for bringing in
a lot of her lucrative advertising jobs
including multi-million dollar jobs for
L’Oreal, Tommy Hilfiger and Pepsi.
Tina worked as a stylist for Destiny’s
Child throughout their fame and teamed
up with her daughter to create the
House Of Dereon fashion line in 2005.
Tina and Mathew, who married in a
1980, also have a younger daughter,
singer Solange, 25.
Solange herself is divorced after splitting
from husband Daniel Smith in 2007 after
three years of marriage and a son Daniel
Julez, seven
