Solange Knowles has been through a lot more than your average 27-year-old, including marriage, childbirth, and divorce. In the latest issue of Harper’s Bazaar, Solange opens up about what it was like going through a divorce at such a young age.
“In a lot of ways, emotionally and mentally, I feel far older than 27,” she told the magazine. “Just going through a marriage and a divorce — which I essentially did by 21 — will give you an insane amount of perspective on life.”
She married her child’s father, Daniel Smith at just 17-years-old. After the marriage and giving birth, she and her son Julez moved to Idaho where Daniel was finishing college.
“I was lucky with Julez. I was completely lost when we moved to Idaho, out in the country, and I devoted everything to him.”
Solange also says that her “jump-start” gave her a confidence that others her age might not have yet.
“Everyone talks about how, in your 30s, all of these growing pains transition into wisdom and you feel more self-assured and confident,” she explained, “but I think I had a bit of a jump-start on that at 27.”
When it comes to co-parenting, Solo says that she and Daniel “co-parent really well.”
“I’m able to say, ‘I need to finish this album, can you step up and take care of the boy?’“ she said.
