The Grammy Award-winning singer first rose to fame as a founding member of the iconic girl group Destiny’s Child. As one of the key figures in the group, she played a major role in shaping its success and global appeal. However, her journey didn’t stop there—she eventually ventured into a solo career, proving her versatility and strength as an independent artist. In 2002, she released her debut solo album, Simply Deep, which featured the chart-topping hits “Dilemma” and “Stole.” These tracks solidified her place in the music industry beyond her group days.
Before all the fame and accolades, she faced a difficult childhood. In an effort to escape her troubled home life, she moved to Houston to live with her mother, Doris Rowland Garrison, separating herself from her alcoholic and abusive father, Christopher Lovett. This move marked a turning point in her life, giving her the space and strength to focus on her future.
In her personal life, she dated NFL player Roy Williams before eventually marrying her longtime manager, Tim Weatherspoon, in 2014. Their relationship has been a strong and supportive partnership, both professionally and personally. Together, they welcomed their first son, Titan, on November 4, 2014—a joyful milestone that brought even more meaning to their lives. Then, in January 2021, they were blessed with their second child, a son named Noah, expanding their family and deepening their bond.
Back in 2011, she took on the role of a judge for The X Factor, marking a significant moment in her career.
