In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly in May, 2023, Mathew opened up about what it was like parenting his daughters with ex-wife Tina. As well as Beyoncé, 43, Mathew and Tina also share daughter Solange Knowles38,

The former couple were married for more than 30 years before calling it quits in 2011. Mathew became a father again in 2010, welcoming his son, Nixon with Alexsandra Wrightas well as his daughter Koi with Taqoya Branscombin the same year.
“I hope we taught by example,” Mathew exclusively told Usadding that he and Tina prioritized exposing them to all sorts of different hobbies and career paths while they were growing up
“We’d take them to NASA, we would take them to science fairs, we’d take them to a library,” he explained. “We’d take them to sporting events (and) entertainment, and we wanted to see what they gravitated towards.”
Ultimately, Mathew admitted that “it was always entertainment” that piqued his daughters’ interest.
