He said of his wife,

“Tina is the ultimate mother. She’s constantly thinking about helping, supporting, understanding her daughters. And so they have taken up that mantle.”

Solange Knowles announced her split just hours after she was allegedly spotted getting close with a mystery man who didn’t appear to be Alan Ferguson.
