| Posted: 06 Jun 2020 08:40 AM PDT Actor Richard Lawson married his friend of over 30 years, fashion designer Tina Knowles, and became the stepfather of pop diva Beyoncé. Five years ago, the handsome actor Richard Lawson, best known for his work in the hit movies "Poltergeist" and "How Stella Got Her Groove Back," married Tina Knowles, the mother of the iconic Knowles sisters, Solange and Beyoncé. Though they had been dating for less than 2 years, Richard and Tina were old friends. In fact, they met for the first time in 1981 when the designer was pregnant with her first child, Beyoncé.

Even though the actor was struck by her beauty, she was a married woman and his sister's best friend. Richard said:

Tina did try a reconciliation but finally went ahead with the divorce in 2011.

She said:
But 4 years after her divorce, Tina found herself walking down the aisle towards a man she'd known for decades, and had dated for a mere 18 months. She revealed:
A MIRACULOUS REPRIEVE Richard's presence at that altar was a miracle in its own right since the actor had narrowly escaped death 23 years before when he survived the USAir Flight 405 crash that cost the lives of 27 passengers and crew.

It was snowing when the plane took off, and ice had accumulated on the wings due to an inordinate amount of time taxing on the runway, waiting for permission to take off, and the so could not gain the necessary altitude. TRAGEDY The plane ended up crashing into Flushing Bay, just beyond the end of the runway. The plane plunged into the freezing water, and out of the total crew and passenger manifesto of 51, only 24 made it out alive. One of them was Richard Lawson.

Richard recalled:
An experienced traveler, Richard immediately noticed that the plane wasn't acquiring enough speed for take-off --then the plane started to break apart. Richard remembered:
Then, Richard's survival instinct kicked in, and he struggled to undo the safety belt star that was keeping him submerged. He said:

He later learned that the man who'd taken his originally assigned seat in Economy had died. Coming out of that water on that awful evening was a rebirth for the actor. MARRYING TINA It is perhaps apt that Richard and Tina started their lives together by tying the knot on a yacht in Newport Beach. For Tina and Richard, it was a magical, romantic moment, a love delayed for decades finally coming to fruition. Tina has revised her original opinion on love and admits that Richard has transformed her into a true believer, and a self-confessed romantic. She said:
As for her ex-husband, Tina maintains a cordial relationship with the father of her talented daughters, Beyoncé and Solange. When Knowles was diagnosed with breast cancer in October 2019, Tina expressed her support. Matthew and Tina share grandchildren Blue Ivy, 8, and twins Rumi, and Sir Carter, 2, by their daughter Beyoncé; and Daniel Julez J. Smith Jr., 15, by their daughter Solange. |
