Weren't P and Sheila supposedly hooking up in France filming UTCM while Susannah was in the states? By the same token, my general vibe was as PurpleKnight.


On a side note; Cat or Mayte? No contest, Miss Garcia by a mile.

I don't believe that he and Sheila were engaged. She didn't say in that article that they were, she said that their breaking up was like a divorce.

When, exactly, would he have had time to be engaged to Sheila? While he was seeing just about every female we know to have been around at that time? I think Sheila is smarter than that. I don't think they ever had much more than a fling.


Smooches;)

It's definitely unusual for one of Prince's ex-gfs to stay with him as a friend all these years, but this is Sheila E. we're talking about. I guess even Prince realizes he'd be a fool to let things with her go sour. The woman's too damn cool.


lightning rainbo so true PurpleKnight....its Beauteous that he allows one around who brings the grace 2 'speak Truth 2 power' & not get banished cool



Gee and I heard she was a lesbian.....

Maybe I'm uninformed but I was wondering if Prince and Shelia ever dated each other? I heard a story about Shelia going to visit Prince when he was dating Mayte and being sent away. Did anyone hear about that? Was there any competition between Cat and Sheila during the Lovesexy tour? Do you think they're just friends now, or dating. Seems like they always end up back together in some form or the other. She also seems to be the one who's stuck with him the longest.

Did anyone hear the story of Miko (I think it him, the guitar player during Lovesexy) who said he was going to write a book about Prince and Shelia?



Check out the video for Koo Koo (you can probably find it on youtube)...seems like Cat & Sheila got along fine...

Are you sure you're not referring to Cat? In 1994,she spotted Prince and Mayte at Glam Slam in Los Angeles.She went up to them,looked at Prince and said "I like the two of you dancing together,but it will never compare to what you and I had".Prince took offense at this comment and Cat was escorted away.

Prince mentioned this in the late 90s,during an interview where he was interviewed by his buddy Spike Lee."Whatever happened to Cat?" Lee asked him and Prince explained the circumstances.He also mentioned that this was the last time he had seen or spoken to her.I'm sure someone can find that interview and post it here.

I recall another article from the mid-90s where Sheila mentioned that she was engaged to Prince in 1988.This article is different than the one that was posted in this thread.She said that she didn't marry him because "there were too many other women hanging around",implying that Prince wasn't truly ready to commit to one woman.

Funny: that's what I always thought Sister Fate was about, and I once posted the theory that Sheila was gay, only to be shouted down...

Well as I said before only they know what is going on among themselves and only Sheila knows what is her sexual preference if she has any. I know few people who are asexual (not interested in neither gender). I think she is married to her bongos, drums and that whole percussion shaban and don't blame her at all and if this is the case she is playing it very safe....I rest my case

Sheila E. and Prince were engaged in 1988.She said so herself.According to her,she broke off the engagement because Prince had too many other women in his life.He wasn't ready to settle down.

they were definitely involved romantically. unlike some of the other women he has been involved with, he has the utmost respect for her as a musician and they have a lot in common. sheila also happens to be a beautiful person. the musical legacy of her family is incredible. look back to the musicians prince has had in his bands, sheila has introduced him to a lot of them. her song 'who's taking care of you?', was about prince.

That's what I read too. That being said...you can't believe everything you read. I don't think that Prince and Sheila were ever engaged. It is possible to be very good friends with the opposite sex and not ever sleep with them.

Also, I would like to add that Sheila seems like a very strong, secure and Godly woman...I really like her. I sent an email to her through her site, and besides the typical "do-not-reply" form email in response, she also sent me a personal email, which made me like her even more.

A couple years ago, Sheila played a few shows at La Va Lee in L.A. There were a couple screens behind her playing old videos, her Soul Train performance, etc. At one point, the Escovedo family came up to play and her dad took the mike and, pointing back to the screen, said, "And to think, I almost had Prince for a son-in-law." Sheila and her brother shushed their dad really quickly and Pete said no more. I don't know if that "proves" they were engaged, but I believe it.
