Tina Knowles, the proud mom of global superstar Beyoncé, is having a moment of her own—and Queen Bey is all here for it. Tina has just released her deeply personal memoir titled Matriarch, and the book has quickly climbed to the top of The New York Times Bestseller List. Naturally, Beyoncé couldn’t be prouder and took to Instagram to shower her mom with love.
In a heartfelt post, the Crazy in Love singer shared a graphic that read: “Matriarch is officially a No. 1 New York Times bestseller.” Along with it, she wrote a sweet caption: “The Mama T was that good?? Ha. You deserve it, I’m so proud!” And really—who doesn’t melt when Beyoncé says she’s proud?
Tina Knowles, clearly moved by the gesture, responded in the comments with a short but loving reply: “Thank you, my baby ❤️”
For those who might not know, Matriarch hit the shelves on April 22, 2025, and has since made waves—not just for the celebrity connections, but for the candid, emotional storytelling. The book quickly became a hit, topping both the NYT’s hardcover nonfiction and combined print & E-book nonfiction charts this week.
In the memoir, Tina takes readers behind the curtain of one of music’s most iconic families. She shares never-before-heard insights into raising Beyoncé and Solange—from their early childhood to their rise as powerful forces in the music world. But Matriarch isn’t just about her famous daughters—it’s also Tina’s own story.
She opens up about her life, her business journey, and even her health struggles. Tina reveals that she was diagnosed with breast cancer in July 2024, a battle that led to surgery later that year to remove a tumor. She writes about the emotional weight of the diagnosis, but also how her daughters stood by her like warriors.
She shares that Beyoncé remained calm and focused, treating the situation with a sense of precision and purpose. “I could already feel her mind racing, focusing on this as a task to tackle,” Tina writes. Solange, on the other hand, brought emotional warmth and reassurance, simply telling her, “We are going to take care of this.”
Their strength, support, and love shine through in every chapter.
Matriarch isn’t just a celebrity memoir—it’s a moving reflection of motherhood, resilience, and legacy. Whether you’re a fan of the Knowles-Carter family or just someone who appreciates a powerful, heartfelt life story, Tina’s book is definitely one to check out.
So if you’re looking to be inspired, moved, and maybe even shed a few tears, Matriarch by Tina Knowles is now available wherever books are sold.
