Solange Knowles and husband Alan Ferguson separate

Solange Knowles confirmed Friday that she and her second husband, Alan Ferguson, separated earlier this year after tying the knot in late 2014.

In a long Instagram post about spiritual evolution and a desire “to live in my truth,” Beyoncé’s younger sister said the past two years have brought her more “physical and spiritual transition than ever before [and] my body left me with no choice but to listen and be still [and] 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 … 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,” the singer wrote in the post.

Solange, 33, and the music video director, 56, wed at New Orleans’ Marigny Opera House in November 2014 in front of friends and family, including Beyoncé and Jay-Z with their daughter Blue Ivy.

They do not share any children, but Solange is the mother of a 15-year-old son with ex-husband Daniel Smith.
