Beyonce and sister Solange Knowles did not attend father Mathew Knowles' wedding to Gena Avery

Beyonce and her sister, Solange Knowles, didn’t attend their father, Mathew Knowles’ wedding last Sunday. The “Crazy in Love” singer’s former manager said that it was work commitments that kept them from the nuptials.

Knowles married his fiancé of a year and a half, Gena Avery, in Houston, Texas, where Beyonce and Solange grew up.

But he told TMZ of his daughters, "Unfortunately, Beyonce and Solange had previous engagements which made it impossible for them to attend."

Us Weekly notes Knowles severed business ties with Beyonce in 2011, and at the time, she put out a statement that assured, “I've only parted ways with my father on a business level. He is my father for life and I love my dad dearly. I am grateful for everything he has taught me.

She continued, “I grew up watching both he and my mother [Tina Knowles] manage and own their own businesses. They were hard-working entrepreneurs and I will continue to follow in their footsteps."

After 31 years of marriage, Mathew and Tina Knowles got divorced in 2011.
