Beyonce Knowles' father Mathew has been sued by a second woman who claims he fathered her child.

Taqoya Branscomb filed the suit in a Texas court, claiming she became pregnant after having an affair with Mathew in 2010 - the same year his ex-wife, Beyonce's mother Tina, filed for divorce, reported TMZ.com. (Also read: Beyonce, Jay-Z to Lead 'Separate Lives' on Tour?)

The 30-year-old Taqoya, who was a lingerie model, now works as a real estate agent.

In 2010, Mathew acknowledged Alexsandra Wright was indeed his baby's mother and he was ordered to pay $12K a month in child support, but that was reduced to $2,485 after Beyonce fired him and his income stream dried up. (Also read: Beyonce, Jay-Z, Solange Put Up a United Front After Attack Video)
