Beyonce's sister, Solange Knowles Engaged to Alan Ferguson

Solange Knowles is in the news again, and this time it isn’t for attempting to beat up her brother-in-law Jay Z.

The singer and sister of Beyonce has become engaged to her boyfriend of five years, video music producer Alan Ferguson.

Ferguson put a ring on it on June 23, making it the second engagement and possible marriage for Knowles, who was previously betrothed to Daniel Smith. The two ended their marriage in 2007 and have a nine-year-old son together, Julez.


Fortunately for Ferguson, Knowles says she dated all the undesirable guys a while back.

“Luckily, I dated all of the losers ages ago,” she said in an interview. “My love life has been stable for a while. It’s a f****ed up thing—without conflict it’s a lot harder to write interesting songs.”

Also luckily for Ferguson, Knowles is a woman who knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to go for it. Knowles was the pursuer in the relationship.
