Reports say a DNA test has confirmed Beyonce’s music mogul dad Mathew Knowles fathered a child with his alleged mistress.

Los Angeles resident Alexsandra Wright filed court papers last year naming Knowles as the father of her son Nixon, who was born in February (10).

She alleges the baby was conceived during an 18-month fling with the music manager, and Knowles agreed to take a DNA test to find out whether he is the boy’s dad.

The test was taken earlier this month, and the results allegedly show Knowles did father the child.

At a hearing last month, a judge ordered Knowles to pay Wright $8,200 (£5,125)-a-month in temporary child support, pending the result of the DNA test. Knowles also gave Wright $10,000 (£6,250) in January (10) to cover her immediate medical costs.
