Richard himself responded in the comments with a lengthy message from his heart.
He wrote underneath the picture of the couple, “Dear Teene B, 39 years ago, my sister Gwen introduced to one one of the most beautiful woman I had ever met. Breathtaking!!! The thing that was so striking was that your beauty continued to be enhanced by your incredible heart, compassion, empathy, generosity, and philanthropy.”
Opening up about their decades-long relationship before their marriage, he explained, “You were pregnant with Beyoncé at the time and married so my incredible attraction for you then could only live in my fantasy. As we remained friends throughout the years, I took great pleasure in observing you become the ultimate mother, especially for your own daughters, but also for the way you care and nurture woman all over the world. It took 32 years for my attraction for you to come full circle. It was well worth the wait.”
