I don't think this is surprising. I also don't think they've been faking it because I haven't seen them make a public appearance together in years. Most time only one of Beyonce's parents attend an even with her or they sit separately. I assumed they were separated a long time ago. As for all the other rumors about Mathew and Beyonce, we'll probably never know if any of it is true. I think people like 'THE TRUTH' should stop beleiving everything that they hear about people that they don't even know personally. Until something is confirmed why not give this hard working, goal oriented family the benefit of the doubt? Especially Beyonce, since so many people that do know her personally have vouched for her personality as a kindhearted lady.
