Tina Knowles and Richard Lawson have officially closed the chapter on their marriage.

More than a year after Tina first filed for divorce, the former couple has finalized their split, ending their eight-year marriage. Court documents show the divorce was finalized after the pair cited ‘irreconcilable differences’ as the reason for their separation.

As part of the settlement, Tina agreed to make a one-time payment of $300,000 to Lawson. However, neither party will receive ongoing spousal support. The agreement also divided their assets, with each keeping various properties, vehicles, retirement accounts, royalties, and creative works accumulated during and after the marriage.

The divorce settlement also includes a non-disparagement clause, preventing Tina or Richard from publicly speaking negatively about one another or their children and grandchildren. The agreement appears to reflect the couple’s desire to move forward respectfully despite the end of their relationship.

More Details Behind Tina & Richard’s Relationship

Tina and Richard began dating in 2013 after being longtime friends. In April 2015, they tied the knot in a star-studded yacht wedding in Newport Beach, California. Their marriage blended two well-known families, with Richard becoming stepfather to Beyoncé and Solange, while Tina embraced his children, including actress Bianca Lawson.

Tina filed for divorce in July 2023, and while neither she nor Richard publicly discussed many details about what led to the split, both have continued focusing on their personal and professional lives. Tina has remained busy with her businesses and family, while Lawson has continued acting and taking on new projects.

Although their marriage has officially come to an end, the finalized settlement marks a clean break as both move forward into the next chapter of their lives.
