The OWN network came up with the ingenious idea of creating a show called “Black Love” where they speak with well-known celebrity couples about their relationships.
While the premise of the show doesn’t depict a median visage of black love for the 50 million or so regular everyday blue and white-collar black US citizens, it does a great job reinforcing some of the ridiculous standards that are based upon the situations that these celebs and their lives take in a 1%er Hollywood world. And the masses eat it up … But I digress.
Tina Knowles Lawson appeared in a recent episode where she talks about Tina Knowles Lawson… and somewhere in the clips, we’re to assume that she’s married to this random handsome guy beside her. ? I say that because in the clips that OWN provides, Richard Lawson doesn’t say much and I’m sure that’s by design.

[FLASHBACK: Stunts & Shows: Mathew Knowles Calls Elevator Fight ‘Jedi Mind Trick’ (VIDEO)]
The 34-year-old hot mom addresses the issues in a newly released single entitled,? ?Ring Off,? an ode to her mother, Tina Knowles, who suffered the public indignity of learning her husband, Mathew Knowles, had cheated and fathered a child out of wedlock.
Mama, I understand your many sleepless nights?/when you sit and you think about Father?/Or how you tried to be the perfect wife.
You used to dress and fix your hair?/then you smiled through your tears?/in the mirror you would stare?/And say a prayer/?Like, ?I wish he said I?m beautiful?/ I wish it didn?t hurt at all?/I don?t know how I got here?/I was once the one who had his heart.?
Until you had enough then you took that ring off?. You took that ring off?/So tired of the lies and trying, fighting, crying?. Took that ring off. ?Oh, now the fun begins/?Dust yourself off and you love again?/You found a new man now you shine and you?re fine?/Like it?s my time, you took that ring off…

Safety first right ladies? [Sidebar: Bey has an iPhone? I wonder if she’s addicted to instagram like the rest of #TeamiPhone… ]
