Though Tina Knowles and Richard Lawson announced their shocking divorce last summer, it appears they’re still working out the kinks a year later.
This is evidenced by the latest move Knowles made in finally submitting financial documents to the courts in order to close out the divorce this week according to InTouch Weekly. Lawson has yet to confirm whether or not he’s also turned over the required financial paperwork.
If you’ll remember, the two wed back in 2015 on a yacht in California. Over the years, they often spoke fondly of each other both on social media and during interviews. During her appearance on the “Tamron Hall Show,” Knowles described her reconnection with Knowles as “gift from God.”
“I’ve known Richard for 40 years, and when we reconnected, it was, just, I felt like, a gift from God. I really mean that because I prayed. After I went through a divorce, it was pretty devastating after 33 years, and I always planned on, if it was in God’s plan, to get married again because I like being married. I like being in a relationship,”she told Hall.
Likewise, Lawson also gushed over his bride, captioning in a post to Instagram and Facebook celebrating their love: You’re a revolutionary, visionary, incredible artist, a fashion icon, a leader, a cultural beacon, a hot sexy ratchet God warrior and only second to God, You are my wife. How highly favored Am I???”
But things obviously changed. As previously reported by The Root, Knowles cited irreconcilable differences as her reason their split and requested that neither party receive spousal support. She also requested for her name to be restored to Celestine Knowles.
