In a classic Maury Povich moment, DNA tests have confirmed that Mathew Knowles, the mastermind of superstar Beyonce Knowles’ career, is indeed the father of a baby boy.The child’s mother, Alexsandra Wright, a 30-something year-old costume designer from California, has claimed all along that Knowles was the daddy, and that the two had an 18-month affair. Mr. Knowles, on the other hand, has been more than a little reluctant to admit to anything.

Beyonce Knowles is officially a big sister again. A DNA test has confirmed that Mathew Knowles is the father of Alexsandra Wright’s brand new baby boy … sources tell TMZ.

With the DNA test a match, we’re told lawyers for Knowles and Wright are in the final stages of negotiating a settlement for baby Nixon’s child support.

Wright filed a paternity suit last October against Knowles — who was temporarily ordered to pay $8,200 in monthly child support.

Wright claims she had an 18-month affair with Knowles.

As far as we know, nothing’s tricky about Nixon …. so far.

The problem with Knowles fathering this child is that at the time, he was married to Tina Knowles, Beyonce’s mother and business partner. Sources say the love child is the reason Tina filed for divorce last December, after nearly 30 years together. There has been very little information on the status of the divorce, or the terms of any settlement. But between the two of them, both Tina and Mathew have managed to amass quite a fortune thanks to their daughter – Mathew not only created Destiny’s Child, the group that launched Beyonce’s career, but he is also her manager and founded his own record label. Tina is a co-founder of the House of Dereon fashion line. Something tells me things are going to be ugly – even though both Knowles have claimed the split was “amicable.” A love child has a way of making things…awkward.
