Solange Knowles Became a Mom at 18!

Solange Knowles has long lived in the shadow of her big sis Beyoncé but is very much her own unique artist and person. At 14, she started working on her first solo album; Solo Star dropped in 2003 and reached No. 49 on the Billboard Hot 200 list. To the surprise of many, Solange married Daniel Smith in February 2004 when she was 17 and he was 19, and the following October she gave birth to their son, Daniel. The relationship didn’t last, but a divorce and new baby didn’t slow Solange down. She released her second critically acclaimed album Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams in August 2008 and has also appeared on shows like The Ghost Whisperer and Yo Gabba Gabba!
