Beyoncé has a stepmother…

Posted by | Ray Cornelius

ESSENCE is reporting that Beyoncé’s father and former manager Matthew Knowles has jumped the broom with his fiancée Gena Charmaine Avery. Reportedly, the two were engaged for a year and exchange vows last Sunday in Houston, TX.

48-year-old Avery is a former model turned realtor.  61-year-old Knowles continues to head Music World Entertainment  while managing the careers of several gospel acts.

If you recall, Matthew divorced his wife of 31 years, Tina Knowles in 2011. That was also the year that Bey released her father as her manager after having guided her career from the early years all the way to superstardom.

Matthew and Tina Knowles are the parents of Beyonce and her sister, Solange.
