In a heartwarming social media moment, Tina Knowles revealed a surprising personal detail about her daughter Solange's origins, connecting it to the singer's recent bold hairstyle change.
Shortly after Solange Knowles, 39, debuted a dramatic buzz cut on Instagram, her mother Tina responded with praise and a family revelation. "You look like a beautiful Egyptian Goddess," Tina wrote in an April 21 Instagram post, accompanying photos of Solange's new look. "Which is very appropriate since you were conceived on a cruise sailing down the Nile in Egypt."
The matriarch, who shares Solange and superstar Beyoncé, 44, with ex-husband Mathew Knowles, continued to celebrate her daughter's fearless style. "I always said you could shave your head and wear a garbage bag and still look gorgeous," she added. "Well 'Viola'! !!! You turn everything into Art. I love your boldness!"
Solange reciprocated the affection in the comments, writing, "Thank u mother for being my divine north star."
This exchange highlights the enduring bond between the Knowles women, who have publicly supported each other through personal and professional challenges over the years. In a 2017 interview with Interview Magazine, Solange reflected on her mother's influence, stating, "As far back as I can remember, our mother always taught us to be in control of our voice and our bodies and our work. She showed us that through her example."
She also credited Beyoncé with being a career mentor, telling her sister during the same interview, "It's something I've learned so much about from you, getting to be in control of your own narrative... I really appreciate you and mom being examples of that."
The family's mutual admiration continues to be a cornerstone of their public and private lives, with Tina's latest Instagram post serving as another testament to their close-knit dynamic.
