Before Jay-Z and Blue Ivy: Beyoncé’s Ex-Boyfriends

Lyndell Locke


Beyoncé’s first boyfriend is a Houston area chef named Lyndell Locke. In 2009 Locke gave an interview that many believed was confirmation that he not only dated the songstress but at one time got her pregnant. The story goes along with the conspiracy theory that Knowles was a teen mom who either terminated her pregnancy or gave away her baby, as reported here.


LL: We were very young in our teens. From the same area in Houston. We knew each other a long time. We were very close and very good friends. (silence)

SG: Ok, Define friends.


LL: [Laughs] We would go out together, I would take her to the movies or we would eat out. Normal things teenage kids do. It was “puppy” love.

SG: So you were in love with Beyonce?

LL: Love is a strong word for a teenage relationship but we were very close and I cared a lot about her. I still do.

 SG: Are the rumours true that you got Beyonce pregnant and she had to have an abortion?

LL: You know, when I heard this rumour I was really upset by it. Unfortunately, at the time I was not able to speak on it and people were allowing the speculation to go around. Beyonce as far as I know did not have an abortion.

SG: So you and Beyonce did have a sexual relationship?

LL: No comment

Locke hasn’t discussed his relationship with Knowles since.
