AceShowbiz - Solange Knowles and Alan Ferguson called it quits. The R&B singer and the music video director went their separate ways after five years of marriage. They split early this year and she only made it public recently in a lengthy Instagram letter to her online followers.

Solange Knowles, 33, and Alan Ferguson, 56, got married in 2014 at the Marigny Opera House in New Orleans. They have no children together. Back in May this year, she was spotted grinding on a mystery man.

"The past 2 years have brought me more physical and spiritual transition and evolution than ever before," she began her note. "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."

She also talked about living under media scrutiny, "I've lived my best and worst moments in front of the lens and gaze of the world since I was a teenager. I've always tried to live in my truth no matter how ugly or full of love it is. I've also tried to carve out the space to protect my heart, and my life as it unfolds, evolves, and changes."

She went on to address her relationship with Ferguson, "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 [cry emoji]) 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."

She then summed it up, "It is unfair to not have power of your own story as you shape and mold and rewrite it yourself. A n***a ain't perfect, but I'm 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!"
