London, Dec 20 (ANI): Beyonce's parents Tina and Mathew Knowles have finally divorced after their 31 years of marriage.
The couple were issued a final decree of divorce in a Texas court last month, two years after stylist Tina originally filed legal papers.
The couple separated in 2009 after it emerged Mathew, who managed his daughter until earlier this year, had fathered a love child.
Their original divorce filing was dropped last year after both failed to appear in court, leading Tina to file a divorce petition again in August this year.
According to TMZ.com, Tina, 57, said in the court documents, that the marriage was insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities which prevents any reasonable expectation of reconciliation.
Tina's original divorce filing came just a month after it emerged Mathew, 60, had fathered a child with former 'Scrubs' actress Alexsandra White, who was pregnant at the time.
White, 40, gave birth to their son Nixon on Feb 4, 2010 following an 18 month affair with Mathew, the Daily Mail reported.
Although he initially denied he was the father, a DNA test later proved otherwise.
In March, Beyonce severed business ties with her father, but insisted she was not estranged from him on a father-daughter level, despite her parents' split. (ANI)
