Beyonce's younger sister, Solange Knowles, announced in November 2019 that she would be separating from Alan Ferguson, her husband of five years. So, why did these two musical heavyweights throw in the towel? Here are the real reasons why Knowles and Ferguson are calling it quits.

Solange broke the news to fans about her divorce in a since-deleted Instagram post confirming the split. To readers' surprise, she dropped the bombshell that she'd actually separated from Ferguson earlier in 2019. She made it clear, though, that she wasn't bitter about the breakup, calling Ferguson a quote, "phenomenal man who changed every existence of my life."

Never one to share too much about her personal life, Solange added,

"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."

Less cryptically, Solange claimed that she'd changed as a person in the years prior to the split. She revealed,

"The past two 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."

But the exact details of her transformation would remain a mystery.
