The pair met nearly 10 years before they got serious, and married in a quiet ceremony in Costa Rica; they’ve faced scrutiny when Rowland goes without her wedding ring or has made certain comments

This past holiday season, Destiny’s Child star Kelly Rowland filled her calendar with plenty of meaningful outings.
In November, she supported former bandmate Michelle Williams on the opening night of her Broadway musical Death Becomes Her. Then in December, she stepped out for a charity drive for Baby2Baby with the Los Angeles Football Club, donating toys and essentials to children in need. She was joined by A-listers like Kendrick Lamar, Olivia Wilde and Demi Lovato at the event, which was sponsored by Frame and Nordstrom.

A week later, she turned heads at the Critics Choice Association’s yearly Celebration of Black Cinema & Television in LA in a gilded Nadine Merabi jumpsuit with a plunging neckline. The Mea Culpa actress presented Tyler Perry with the Icon Award at the event.

In terms of her personal life, some eagle-eyed fans noticed, that the “Better Without You” singer had opted out of wearing her wedding ring at several stops during her Mea Culpa press tour with co-star Trevante Rhodes earlier this year. Naturally, this sparked rumours of trouble in paradise when it came to her decade-long marriage with Tim Weatherspoon, which she quickly dispelled with a couple pic on her Instagram, captioned with the hashtags #lifelately and #grateful.

So, just who is Tim Weatherspoon, also known as Tim Spoon, and what do we know about his relationship with Kelly Rowland?

He’s a manager in the music industry

Rowland and her husband are both in the entertainment industry, but on different sides. Unlike the singer and actress, he handles the business and management side of things. According to People, he worked with Destiny’s Child in the noughties and later became Rowland’s manager after they got married. Rumour has it, he convinced her to fire her former manager, Devyne Stephens, supposedly because he was jealous of his proximity to her.

The couple ended their professional relationship in 2020, but she told People: “He is so talented, and he just really pushes me to always be the best version of myself, and I’m so grateful for that.” These days, Weatherspoon can be seen in Instagram rubbing shoulders with Jay-Z and other celebrities at big events.
