Solange Knowles and Alan Ferguson have called it quits. The singer took to Instagram to reveal that she and her husband of five years "separated and parted ways" earlier this year, and while Solange didn't reveal the reason behind their split, social media trolls believe infidelity on her part was the cause.Internet users took issue with a photo of Solange getting close with longtime manager John Bogaard, prompting the singer to clear the air in her Instagram Stories. "Yo thank you @onvacation for bein the best co-manager for 5 years," Solange wrote. "Sorry the internetsss are so unkind n b lying. Go back to enjoying ya vacation."The response came a day after Solange initially took to Instagram to announce her split, where she wrote of Ferguson, "11 years ago i met a phenomenal man who changed every existence of my life. early this year we separated and parted ways."
Solange began the post by reflecting on the last few years, while preparing for the next step in her journey. "The past 2 years have brought me more physical and spiritual transition and evolution than ever before," she wrote, adding, "my body left me with no choice but to listen and be still [and] within that stillness i begin my journey in confronting my worst enemy, fear."Knowles and Ferguson were married in 2014, in an epic all-white wedding in New Orleans. Solange wore a white jumpsuit and cape and the newlyweds rode vintage white bikes to their ceremony.Solange was previously married to high school sweetheart Daniel Smith, with whom she shares son Daniel Julez J. Smith Jr.
