Tina Knowles on Her Bond With Kelly Rowland (Exclusive)

Tina Knowles and Richard Lawson chat with ET’s Kevin Frazier at the premiere of ‘The Harder They Fall.’ Knowles opens up about how Kelly Rowland has been like a sister to her daughters, Beyoncé and Solange. The fashion designer praises son-in-law JAY-Z for producing the new western. ‘The Harder They Fall’ hit theaters Oct. 22 and streams on Netflix on Nov. 3.

The fact that she said " I don't see any difference" And she shows that. It's a beautiful thing.

[@robertmauli1293]

It is true. Solange being the youngest even in old interviews says older sisters, referring to Beyonce and Kelly Rowland. Beyonce the same, says sisters and Ms. Tina without missing a beat says three daughters.

[@manilewis6444]

Having raised 3 superstars, I should have known how incredible this woman is, but only recently have I fallen in love with her public image. I think it's ironic that she taught Beyoncé that "beauty fades," and she's standing there, nearly 70 and absolutely GORGEOUS.

[@nastassjamccullough5341]

Ms. Tina epitome of southern hospitality & class.

[@jeremycollins8045]

Agreed she taught Beyoncé well and Beyoncé is teaching her children what her mother instilled in her.

This is such a beautiful example of what it means to work together from the heart. Ms. T, had no idea that those girls would become the ladies they are today, but she provided the support, care and love they needed to be confident enough to pursue their dreams. They are setting a great example and a blueprint for how to do it from the heart.

The exasperation in her facial expression and tone of voice when she had to once again remind fools that Kelly is just as much a daughter to her as Beyonce' and Solange, says it all. Media can be exhaustingly annoying sometimes.

I said all that to say your statement makes no sense. Life happens, let it go and when people have issues in life it's not always karma its call living. That karma still have them still together, billionaire, and still appearing to be happy. If that's karma we should all want that. Lol
