Solange Knowles Essence Magazine; Solange Divorce Admitted
Twenty-one year old Beyonce baby sis Solange Knowles sat down with Essence Magazine to discuss her divorce from one-time teen husband Daniel Smith, single motherhood, and her sophomore album.
ESSENCE.com: As you know there’s a lot of mystery surrounding your relationship with your husband, Daniel Smith, so let’s just go ahead and get that out of the way. Are you still married?
Solange Knowles: Well, I am no longer married, but I think it’s very important not to dish details. We are friends and we coparent our son. When he gets older I don’t want him to read anything about me saying anything about his father or vice versa. When there’s a child involved I think the less information given is best.
ESSENCE.com: So just to clear things up, how did you two meet?
S.K.: We met at a high school party through mutual friends. He was in high school and I was 13 and in middle school. We were together seven years, so it wasn’t just some random guy. We were basically high school sweethearts.
ESSENCE.com: Do you have any regrets about the situation? Did you feel forced or pressured to get married?
S.K.: No, I think every decision has made me who I am today. I’ve embraced everything because I know that only God can give life, no one else. I’m happy that I have a beautiful, wonderful, amazing child who’s made me a better person.
ESSENCE.com: Speaking of which, let’s talk about little Daniel Julez. How old is he now? Is he talking?
S.K.: Oh gosh, yes, he’s more than talking and has a smart mouth already. He’ll be 3 this month.

If she did not get divorced to be with lil wayne, why in the world is they in this picture together. she is no competition to trina or nivea, so lil wayne wont be there for long for sure. trina is the best thing that happened to lil wayne. and another thing, why do the pretty artists go for the ugly rappers, with exception to ashanti and monica. jayz is too ugly and lil wayne looks like a grimlin even though they both can rap. what about the fine nelly, chingy, ludacris, young buck, or even rocko. these rappers compliment a woman’s beauty. being with jayz or lil wayne just make people wonder if the ladies are for the money, because the looks are definetely not there.

OMG ignorant. just because someone is in a picture with someone else doesnt mean anything is going on. lol that is the most stupid assumption anyone could make. i could see if they were alone AND kissing. and since you dont know that weird looking little rappers personal life you cant say some woman…another person you dont know …is the best thing that happened to him. lol people like you making silly assumptions getting all into peoples lives just because you see them on tv. its sad.

Right… How stupid does that sound?… Just because a rapper is ugly and a beautiful woman is dating him does not mean shes with him 4 money.. Everybody don’t go 4 looks they go 4 personality.. And just because she N a picture with wayne don’t mean a damn thang she N the picture with kelly rowland as well…man all these ignorant haters why is you worried about it anyway? what she do is her life not yours so you sayin that bull is pointless that shows how much of a life u have worried about somebody else…

What? Did u actually say “Why are they in a pic together”? You’ve never taken a pic with different people? You are very sad. So is she messing with Kelly Rowland as well? Damn get a life. Looks don’t have anything to do with anything, Beyonce has her own $$$. Maybe Jay-Z is a sweetheart that treats her well.

everybody knows solange is not a star.she can`t sing worth shit. nor can she act. i read how she tries to put down janet .she is no where prettier than janet nor is beyonce. trying to sugar coat how her and ex-husband met. she was sneaky and running wild just like the rest of the teens.they was not high school sweethearts she was 13 and he was in high school at least 16. then daddy forced him to get married to make it look like they was really in love. and that back fired. but the way daddy is acting no wonder their attitudes is fucked up high and mighty.no one is hating on them or ma &pa.they are trying to make it seems like their girls are better than some women that have been out here and they are going through the same thing everyone else in the world is experiencing .beyonce does low budget movies. she played etta james didn`t even get an award for it. jennifer hudson got one for dreamgirls .we could see her acting in more serious films. she said jay-z is her 1st real love,what about the ones she slept with before him. i think everybody is getting sick of beyonce.she`s seen and heard to much and it`s .not making her a bigger actress or singer.heard her tickets to her shows had to be lowered.either the fans are sick of her or she is trying to keep her ticket sale price like janet or michael.i`ll say it again this family is no jackson.
