Early life

Wright was born on February 17, 1971, in Montreal, Quebec.
Career

Wright started acting in 1989 with the television movie Third Degree Burn. Her role in the film was uncredited. A decade later, Wright appeared in the television show JAG as Petty Officer Colzie in the Psychic Warrior episode.

She switched to film acting for Love Beat The Hell Outta Me, a 2000 drama. In 2001, Wright appeared in Baby Boy, a drama starring Tyrese Gibson, Taraji P. Henson, Snoop Doggy Dog and Omar Gooding.

Wright's final two roles were television shows, including the My Fifteen Minutes episode of Scrubs in 2001, and The Young and the Meatless episode of Girls Club in 2002.
Relationship with Knowles

In the late 2000s, Wright and Matthew Knowles began an 18-month affair in which Wright ended up getting pregnant. When her son Nixon Knowles was born, paternity tests confirmed Knowles was the father, making Nixon half-brother of Beyoncé and Solange Knowles.
On November 11, 2009, Tina Knowles filed for divorce from her husband, citing Matthew's affair with Wright.
Wright publicly apologized to Tina, Beyonce and Solange for the "pain [she] has contributed" in their lives.
Since the breakup with Knowles, Wright has become engaged to Celebrity Fit Club trainer Harvey Walden IV.
