The mother of Mathew Knowles’ son, Nixon Alexander Knowles, is speaking out about the non-existent relationship he has with his half-sister, Beyoncé. Nixon, who is 13 years old, is the result of an affair between Beyoncé’s father, and Canadian-born actress Alexsandra Wright. This scandalous affair rocked the family and ultimately led to Beyoncé’s parents divorcing — not to mention the singer severing ties with her father as her manager.
The story takes an even more heartbreaking turn when we learn that Nixon and his mother, Alexsandra, have had to endure difficult living conditions. In an exclusive interview with The Sun US, Wright reveals how they were forced to move into a mobile home, located ten miles away from the multi-million dollar home where Beyoncé and her family reside in luxury. Wright claims that Mathew Knowles owed her unpaid child support which had subsequently left her no choice but to file for public assistance while moving into a trailer before being taken in by actress, Shar Jackson.
“There has not been any contact,” she told the publication regarding any communication with Bey. “The pain still needs to heal. My main concern has been dealing with a child that asks, ‘Why doesn’t that person love me?’ Wright continued, “It’s a very human story and I sit in the bathroom and cry sometimes because I just don’t know how to help him be his own person. But I believe our children and grandchildren will be much better human beings than we are.”
The affair between Mathew Knowles and Wright not only shattered their respective marriages but also strained the relationship between Beyoncé and her father. Both Beyoncé and her sister Solange are now estranged from Mathew, refusing to attend his wedding with Gena Charmaine in June last year. It is evident that the betrayal caused by this affair has had long-lasting effects on the family dynamics.
Despite all the turmoil surrounding Nixon’s birth and the ensuing family drama, Alexsandra Wright still holds hope that one day Beyoncé will meet her little brother. She longs for her son to have a connection with his famous sibling, hoping that it can bring some semblance of normalcy and healing to their fractured family.
This revelation sheds light on the complexities of Beyoncé’s personal life, reminding us that even global icons have their fair share of family struggles. It serves as a poignant reminder that behind the glitz and glamour, there are real people dealing with real emotions and challenges. While we may idolize celebrities for their talent and success, it is important to remember that they too are human beings with their own share of joys and sorrows.
