Beyoncé's mother, Tina Knowles, has been spotted without her wedding ring for the first time since filing for divorce from her husband, Richard Lawson, over "irreconcilable differences." The 69-year-old fashion designer was seen at the Los Angeles International Airport, stepping out of a black SUV, dressed in an all-black ensemble and carrying a Louis Vuitton handbag.

Knowles filed for divorce from Lawson, her second husband, after eight years of marriage. The divorce documents, as reported earlier, cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split. The Destiny’s Style: Bootylicious Fashion, Beauty, and Lifestyle Secrets from Destiny’s Child author did not accompany Lawson on his press tour for his film Black Terror earlier this month.

In addition to filing for divorce, Knowles has also requested the court to restore her maiden name legally. Despite being known by the same surname as her famous children in the press, Tina dropped the name Knowles when she married Richard in April 2015.

The news of the couple's divorce has sparked a flurry of reactions on social media. Twitter users have been quick to point out that Lawson, 76, had allegedly been "liking" several explicit posts on his main account. This revelation has led to a wave of humorous and shocked responses from the public.

Tina Knowles shares her two daughters, Beyoncé and Solange Knowles, with her first husband, Matthew Knowles. The couple was married for over 30 years before their divorce in 2011.

Earlier this month, Tina made headlines when her home was burglarized, resulting in the loss of over $1 million in cash and jewelry. The break-in was discovered on July 5 when a member of Tina's team visited the home and found an entire safe missing. The method of entry and the removal of the safe without detection remain unclear.
