Mathew Knowles Wanted To Buy Lovechild For Jay-Z & Beyonce

Published: October 25, 2011

As if this whole business with the folding baby bump isn’t weird enough, pregnant star Beyonce has been caught up in yet another bizarre baby-related scandal and this one involves her dad, Mathew Knowles.

The 60-year-old fathered a son during an 18-month extramarital affair with former Scrubs star Alexsandra Wright, 40, but apparently he begged the boy’s mother to hand the child over to his superstar daughter and son-in-law, so they could raise him as their own.

Alexsandra refused to give up her child and is raising the baby, now 20-months-old, with her new boyfriend. She tells Star Magazine:

My first thought when he asked me if I would give up our child to Beyonce and Jay-Z was, ‘Are you out of your mind?’ Nothing in the world, no amount of money would make me give up my child, you can’t buy my child from me! Maybe Mathew thought money could buy anything.”

Alexsandra insists that Beyonce knew nothing of her father’s scheme to have her raise her own half-brother.

I don’t believe that Beyonce or anybody else has a clue about what was flying out of Mathew’s mouth. I don’t think it was anybody but Mathew.

The “If I Were a Boy” hitmaker is presently estranged from her dad, also her former manager, amid allegations that he stole millions from her.

Knowles and Wright ended their affair before the baby was born, and Alexsandra claims Mathew then tried to offer her money to leave his name off the birth certificate. Wright refused, and after a paternity battle which proved the baby was his, Tina Knowles (Beyonce’s mother) filed for divorce after 30 years of marriage.

Mathew Knowles has never met his only son.
