Tina Knowles-Lawson, known to many as the mother of famed singers Beyoncé and Solange, is revealing how prayer led to her marriage to actor Richard Lawson last year.As Knowles-Lawson filed for divorce from Beyoncé’s father, Matthew Knowles, in 2010 after reports of infidelities surfaced, she decided to pray for her future husband, not yet knowing who that might be.

“After I went through my divorce, I said that this time, I’m going to pray for the type of man that I should have, and I did,” Tina said as a panelist at the 2016 Merge Summit last week in Los Angeles, California, according to the Los Angeles Sentinel.

Knowles-Lawson, a fashion designer and businesswoman, and her husband, Richard Lawson, were part of a celebrity panel about relationships, along with “Empire” actors Trai and Grace Byers, and DeVon Franklin and Meagan Good. The event brought Christians from the entertainment industry together to inspire people to reach their goals, both personally and professionally.

Nearly 60 of the industry’s top entertainers and executives led over 20 interactive panel discussions at the summit, where celebrity couples were on hand to speak about relationships
