And, how what makes you so sure of this?



Because I think they are still married and very happily married

TheCatWoman said:

Just curious, why are you so sure of that?

As for the original question, when she appeared at the BET Awards show on November 1st, she did not appear to be. But she hadn't been seen for a long time before that, and I'm not aware of any sightings since.

Not 2 mention that she was at the awards alone that night, while P was at Wendy&Lisa's Gig. It's been over 4 a while, I think Prince awknowledged that in the Quote above from the Press Release on 12/13/05.

If there wasn't a belief they were broken up, the press wouldn't have asked him who inspired the song... and he wouldn't have answered in the vague way he does when it's not time 4 the world 2 know yet. It's been the same since the beginning, The famous "U know who U are"... he'd have simply stated "My wife".

...Because he is HAPPILY married. JW Don't get divorced anyway
And you know Prince is a true follower of this religion.

If you say so!

He's not divorced from Londell.

When Prince inked one-off deals with Arista (in 1999) and Columbia Records (in 2003), many were surprised to see him working with major labels, since the singer spent many months during the '90s embroiled in a drawn-out battle with his former label, Warner Bros., over issues of control with his music.

While the musician remains wary of entanglements with major companies, the Columbia partnership (which resulted in the Grammy-winning Musicology) proved fruitful enough for him to do it again — except this time he's entered into a similar arrangement with Universal Records to release his forthcoming album, dubbed 3121, in early 2006.

"It wasn't a contract. I don't believe in contracts. It's basically a handshake deal, but we do sign some agreements to ensure business gets accomplished," he said. "Ultimately, I got a chance to structure [the deal] the way I saw fit, as opposed to it being the other way around, and I got exactly what I wanted to accomplish."

Prince made those comments in Los Angeles on Tuesday during a press conference to premiere the video for his first single from the new album, the Salma Hayek-directed "Te Amo Corazón," (which translates as "I Love You, Sweetheart").

The singer, who became so passionate during his conflict with Warner Bros. that for a time he wrote the word "slave" on his face, came to the agreement with Universal without the aid of lawyer, and urged other artists to take similar control by reading and understanding the fine print themselves. Prince remained elusive on specific details of the deal — and did not explain the significance of his new album's unusual title — but added, "I've been independent for a long time, so to do any sort of agreement with a record company at this point would have to be in my best interest."

As usual, Prince wrote, produced and arranged "Te Amo Corazón," a sultry ballad that evidently celebrates the love he has for the special woman in his life. While the artist formerly known as the Artist would not disclose his inspiration for the track ("I leave that up to the individual that listens to it — it spoils it otherwise," he said), he noted that the single is not indicative of the album's sound.

The video — directed by Hayek and co-starring "Motorcycle Diaries" actress Mía Maestro as Prince's love interest — was filmed in the exotic setting of Marrakesh, Morocco. The opening of the clip shows the singer standing in front of a huge window with sunshine cascading down upon him, followed by clips of Maestro and Prince walking separately around an airy, open Spanish-style home. Later, Prince is seen struming his trademark purple guitar in bed, surrounded by satin sheets and rose petals.

Prince called Hayek, who drafted the original treatment for the video, "the most thoughtful, attentive director I have ever worked with."

The clip, which debuted on VH1 on Wednesday, is now available for download at NPG Music Club (see "Prince Offers Fans Exclusive Material Via Online Club").

Meanwhile, Prince also announced a tour is in the works, and it looks like you can expect to see some familiar faces on the road. "I don't want to talk about it [much] because I'm inviting some of my old friends to join us," he said. "You'll hear about it.

Londell is no longer a business partner. They hang from time to time but they don't really do business. Londell uses his name.

Mani and he are separated You have to prove to the church that your spouse was in the wrong in order to divorce and stay in the religion.

wow, Prince married Mani because he loves his mom... maybe prince will take nicole richie?
Nicole Camille Escovedo was born in Berkeley, California, on September 21, 1981. Her biological parents were Peter Michael Escovedo, a member of Lionel Richie's band and brother to '80s pop percussionist Sheila E., and an anonymous backstage assistant.

Here's how deep Nicole's Hollywood roots run: her godfather happens to be none other than Michael Jackson.

I had noticed that we haven't heard anything from or about Londell for quite awhile. Well, same with Mani (other than her showing up alone at the BET show)!

So, separated as opposed to divorcing or divorced... What the heck, I'll ask: so what's the 411, do you know what went down?

... but until he makes a statement about it we will never know the real truth...
