Solange Knowles has announced her split from husband of five years Alan Ferguson in a heartfelt Instagram post, saying they’ve been separated since early 2019. In her message she makes it quite clear that it’s really none of our business who she is dating or married to, but issued the statement so that she could have power over her own story.
‘11 years ago i met a phenomenal man who changed every existence of my life. early this year we separated and parted ways, (and tho it ain’t nan no body business 😭) i find it necessary to protect the sacredness of my personal truth and to live in it fully just as I have before and will continue to do. it is unfair to not have power of your own story as you shape and mold and rewrite it yourself.’
Knowles' breakup statement is just as beautiful, eloquent and considered as her music and the visuals she produces, and she touches on her struggle with the the autonomic disorder she’s been dealing with since 2017, saying; ‘the past 2 years have brought me more physical and spiritual transition and evolution than ever before. my body left me with no choice but to listen and be still within that stillness i begin my journey in confronting my worst enemy, fear.
‘ive lived my best and worst moments in front of the lens and gaze of the world since i was a teenager. ive always tried to live in my truth no matter how ugly or full of love it is. ive also tried to carve out the space to protect my heart, and my life as it unfolds, evolves, and changes.’
She ends her statement with a message for everyone going through a transition;
‘a n*gga ain’t perfect, but im leaning into the fear of the unknown and all the glory and power i know exist within god and the universes grace. may all of your transitions no matter how big or small, be kind to you and filled with incredible love and light!’
Solange and Alan got married in November 2014, she wore a cream jumpsuit by Kenzo with a matching cape, and the couple rode around New Orleans on flower-adorned bikes before the ceremony.
