Solange has parted ways with her husband, Alan Ferguson.

The split was confirmed on social media Friday, nearly five years after the couple tied the knot. Solange penned a lengthy Instagram message, which touched on her spiritual evolution and embarking on a new journey.

"Early this year we separated and parted ways, (and tho it ain’t nan no body business 😭), I find it necessary to protect the sacredness of my personal truth and to live in it fully just as I have before and will continue to do," she wrote. "It is unfair to not have power of your own story as you shape and mold and rewrite it yourself. A n***a ain’t perfect, but im leaning into the fear of the unknown and all the glory and power I know exist within god and the universes grace. May all of your transitions no matter how big or small, be kind to you and filled with incredible love and light!"

Solange married the music video director in November 2014, about seven years after she divorced her first husband, Daniel Smith. The all-white wedding ceremony took place in New Orleans, and was attended by Solange's sister Beyoncé, brother-in-law JAY-Z, and singer Janelle Monae.

The When I Get Home artist did not share details about the separation, such as the cause or if divorce papers have been filed. Solange and Ferguson do not have any children together. She does, however, share a son 15-year-old son with Smith.
