The Matriarch Gets Real About Love And Starting Over
It’s been nearly two years since her split from actor Richard Lawson, whom she married back in 2015. In a brand new interview with PEOPLE, the 71-year-old muva of Beyoncé and Solange reveals she’s not only doing just wonderful — she’s dating again!
“I’m spending time with a friend,” Tina shared with a smile, calling her mystery man a “very nice gentleman.”
The designer also gets real in her upcoming memoir, ‘Matriarch,’ where she opens up for the primary time concerning the ups and downs of affection and marriage. While she didn’t spill an excessive amount of tea on why her marriage to Lawson ended, she did make it clear it got here from a spot of peace, not pettiness.
“Love shouldn’t be a contest or mired in jealousy,” she writes. “I made the choice to divorce with a heavy heart but without malice.”
That said, Tina didn’t hold back when reflecting on her first marriage to Mathew Knowles, father to her iconic daughters. In ‘Matriarch,’ she details the pain of staying through years of infidelity and difficulties of walking away after 31 years. Now? She’s living her best life, saying, “I’m making the very best of every single day I actually have left on this life.” And truthfully, we love this for her.

Tina Details Her Breast Cancer Diagnosis & Current Health
Tina Knowles also recently opened up about her private battle with breast cancer for the primary time. The mother revealed to Gayle King, in a ‘CBS Mornings’ interview, that she missed a mammogram appointment throughout the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and forgot to reschedule it until last 12 months. It was during that rescheduled appointment that her doctors discovered two tumors—one benign and the opposite Stage 1 cancer. Further within the ‘CBS Mornings’ interview, she mentioned that the diagnosis had her in “disbelief.” Fortunately, the cancer was detected early, and Tina’s journey has changed into a robust story of survival and hope.
In a separate PEOPLE interview, Tina reflected on how her daughters, Beyoncé and Solange, reacted to her diagnosis. She said Beyoncé stayed positive and immediately focused on tackling the situation with precision. While Solange simply said, “Mom, we’re going to care for this.”
Today, Tina is cancer-free and incredibly grateful for the early detection. At first, Tina struggled with whether to incorporate her health journey within the memoir, admitting she’s a really private person. Ultimately, she selected to share it to encourage other women to prioritize their health and get checked. “I need to present people hope,” she shared, emphasizing that early detection saved her life.
