Tina Knowles appeared somber in her first public appearance since news of her divorce from Richard Lawson broke.
Beyoncé’s mother, 69, was spotted at the Los Angeles International Airport Thursday, stepping out of a black SUV sans wedding ring.
The businesswoman looked chic in a black, long-sleeved V-neck shirt and matching pants, which she paired with a Louis Vuitton handbag.
It’s unclear where she was flying to.
As Page Six previously reported, Knowles filed for divorce from her second husband on Wednesday after eight years of marriage.
She listed their date of separation as Tuesday and cited “irreconcilable differences” as the cause of their split.
Fans began to speculate there was trouble in paradise when the “Destiny’s Style: Bootylicious Fashion, Beauty, and Lifestyle Secrets from Destiny’s Child” author did not join Lawson on his press tour for “Black Terror” earlier this month.
Additionally, they noticed the businesswoman had changed her name in her Instagram bio from “Tina Lawson” back to “Tina Knowles.”
The two had been friends for some time before their relationship turned romantic in 2013.

Two years later, the former couple tied the knot on a yacht in Newport Beach, Calif.
Knowles has yet to publicly comment on her separation from the “Always A Bridesmaid” star.
Twitter users went into a frenzy following the news of the former couple’s divorce – but not just out of shock over their separation.
Internet sleuths quickly began to point out that the actor, 76, had allegedly been “liking” a handful of pornographic posts on the social media site, per Complex.
“I saw Richard Lawson’s likes this morning & umm.…,” one user wrote.
A second tweeted, “Hey uh…you know your Twitter likes are public…right?”
His account has since been deactivated.
Knowles shares Beyoncé and daughter Solange with her first husband, Matthew Knowles. They were married for over 30 years before divorcing in 2011.
