Knowles married Ferguson — a music video director and U.S. Army veteran — in a ceremony in New Orleans on November 16, 2014. The pair started dating in 2008 after meeting through Janelle Monae and were reported to be engaged in mid-2014. As fans may recall, Knowles was previously married to her high school sweetheart Daniel Smith, who is also the father of her 18-year-old son Julez. They divorced in 2007 after three years of marriage, per ET Online.

While she’d kept things rather vague, Knowles mentioned going through a “physical and spiritual transition” in the years leading to her divorce from Ferguson — hinting that her health struggles may have played a role in her decision to end her second marriage. “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 mused. Stressing that she “ain’t perfect,” Knowles said, “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!”
