Blue Ivy Convinced Tina Knowles To Get Married Again
Tina Knowles recently said her ‘I Do’ to actor Richard Lawson. Tina is the mother of superstar singers, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and Solange Knowles-Ferguson. The 61-year-old mother and grandmother told People Magazine that the decision to get married again came from her 3-year-old granddaughter, Blue Ivy.
“We went on a boat with Beyoncé and Jay Z for her birthday, and when we came out one night dressed to go to dinner, Blue said, ‘Oh, ya’ll look beautiful. When are ya’ll getting married?’ “Richard said, ‘Oh, Blue, soon. Do you approve?’ And she said yes. That’s the first time we talked seriously about getting married.”
Tina Knowles and Richard Lawson recently tied the knot on Sunday, April 13th, on a private yacht in Newport Beach, California. The private ceremony took place in front of family and friends. Blue Ivy and Solange’s 10-year-old son Julez served as flower girl and ring bearer. Tina said that the wedding was so beautiful and she is very excited and happy to have found love again.
“To walk down the aisle and see all my friends and family and to see my handsome man standing’ there, and to know that at 61 you can still find love and have a magical day like that… it was really beautiful”.
Tina stated that after her divorce from Matthew Knowles back in 2011, she was very doubtful she would ever love again, especially at her age. She said she was to set an example for many woman that no matter how old you may be, never give up on finding love. You just have to be patient.
“There was a time when I doubted if I would find love again. But I was determined to be happy. It was important to me to have a wedding and walk in white, because sometimes we feel that at a certain age you should act a certain way. You can find love at any age. You just have to go for it.”
