Relationship with Daniel Smith, Son

As long as Knowles and Daniel Smith were both teenagers when they got married, the lovebirds had been lovers since high school before they made the conscious decision to tie the wedding down in February 2004 after seven long years. After the birth of their son, the young couple moved to Idaho, where Daniel continued to attend college.

Unfortunately, the marriage only lasted three years, and in 2007 the divorce knocked at the door of their paradise. The fruit of this brief union is a handsome sweetheart named Daniel Julez J. Smith, Jr., whom Solange describes as the greatest unplanned blessing, although she had expressed some regret that she had to become a mother at a tender age. The singer wrote a song called “6 O’Clock Blues” for her baby. The song was featured on her album called Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams.

For the young singer and songwriter, her early marriage and divorce made her mature faster than her peers.

Usually divorced or separated couples are expected to go for each other’s throats after a failed marriage, but Solange and Daniel have remained friends for the sake of their son and are concentrating on giving him the best education in this situation. In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Solange Knowles revealed that the mutual upbringing between her and Daniel was okay. She can always call on her ex-husband to babysit if she needs to be busy, and the arrangement seems to work for her.

According to the records, Daniel fiddled around with the music for a short time as a rapper and DJ. Allegedly, he went under the stage name “Yung Sosa” and his debut album Trillmatic was released in December 2008. Since then Daniel seems to have been pushed into the background and Solange prefers it that way and refused to comment on the father of their son because they have a child together and it would not be nice for him to read something bad as an adult that his mother might have said about his father or vice versa. When a child lives in an alienated marriage, they believe it is best to pass on as little information as possible.
