After splitting from her husband of 5 years, rumors quickly began swirling that Solange Knowles had cheated on him. Instead of ignoring these allegations, Solange took to social media to speak out about them.
While not as well-known as her sister, Beyonce Knowles, Solange Knowles has had a long career as a singer and actress. She put out several albums in the 2000s and 2010s, was a part of several major tours, and was a backup dancer for Destiny’s Child when she was younger. Solange also acted in several TV shows and movies and is the proud owner of several prestigious awards such as a Grammy and a BET award.

Back in 2014, she married her boyfriend, music director Alan Ferguson. Alan has directed several music videos over the years for the likes of Jay-Z, Beyonce, Fall Out Boy, and more. The pair first met in 2008 when they were introduced by mutual friends Pete Wentz and Janelle Monae.
Solange Made the First Move
According to Distractify, Solange said that she was the initiator of the relationship. She said she’s historically been the type of girl to go after what she’s into. So, she was the one who approached him about the relationship.
After a relatively long period of dating, the couple got married in 2014. However, after around 5 years of marriage, the pair decided to call it quits in 2019. While the reason the two split wasn’t mentioned by either party, some believe that it was infidelity on Solange’s side that led to the relationship ending.
They believe she cheated on her husband with her co-manager, John Bogaard. The two were photographed walking with one another, and many people saw it as confirmation of cheating. On the other hand, many others just saw it as Solange innocently walking with her manager.

Despite what many people may think, Bet reported that a source close to Solange said she never cheated on Alan, and that there has never been any romance with her manager. The pair only had a working relationship for many years, nothing more.
She also took to social media soon after the allegations came out and posted a photo of her with her manager, apologizing to him for the internet being unkind and spreading false rumors about them. In the same comment, she thanked him for being the best co-manager for 5 years. This seemed to clarify that the relationship between the two was nothing but professional in nature.
It’s been years since the pair split. So, it’s unlikely that the true reason for the end of the relationship will ever be confirmed. While Solange denied it, many still believe that cheating led to the split between her and her ex-husband in 2019.
