Solange shares message regarding split from husband Alan Ferguson

Solange Knowles has split from Alan Ferguson, her husband of five years. The artist posted the news to Instagram this afternoon. "Eleven years ago i met a phenomenal man who changed every existence of my life," she wrote. "Early this year we separated and parted ways[...] 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. It is unfair to not have power of your own story as you shape and mold and rewrite it yourself."

the past 2 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. 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. ive also tried to carve out the space to protect my heart, and my life as it unfolds, evolves, and changes. 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. it is unfair to not have power of your own story as you shape and mold and rewrite it yourself. a nigga ain’t perfect, but im leaning into the fear of the unknown and all the glory and power i know exist within god and the universes grace. may all of your transitions no matter how big or small, be kind to you and filled with incredible love and light!

Knowles and Ferguson married in New Orleans in November, 2014. The two worked together frequently, with Ferguson directing many of Knowles's videos and, more recently, contributing to the stunning film that accompanied the artist's latest album, When I Get Home.
