It’s official.  Beyonce’s dad and manager Matthew Knowles is the father of his mistress’ child. 

A DNA test indicated Matthew is the father of Alexsandra Wright’s son named Nixon, according to TMZ and the newspaper in Matthew’s hometown Houston Chronicle. 

Last year, Wright filed a paternity suit against Knowles, and she alleges they had an 18-month affair while he was married to Beyonce’s mother Tina.

Beyonce’s mother Tina filed for divorce last year.  Matthew has served as Beyonce’s manager throughout her career, and he’s helped elevate her to superstar status. 

It seems like this situation is similar to John Edwards’ affair because a child was created as a result of infidelity. 
At least Matthew and his mistress didn’t make a sex tape (that we know of) like Edwards’ and Rielle Hunter did.
