I hope the best for them both. She looks great and so does he.

Anxiety said:

That is exactly the first thing I thought too.

From the frying pan into the fire... except Eric doesn't have any of his own money. Maybe they met thru their respective alimony lawyers

I would pretend to be an Ostrich if it would get Prince to marry me.

Rhondab said:

My jaw is on the floor on this one Eric still FINE AS FUCK though but if I were a public person I'd never be in public w/ that mf knowing how it's gonna go down

Beautiful as always! OMG, she really is dating Eric... Good luck. This probably means we will see way more of Mani from now on...

PleasurePrinciple said:

perhaps Eric has changed.

wonder505 said:

could be true but ummm...if Mani was cheated on by Prince which may NOT even be the case...I wouldnt be checkin out someone who previously creeped on Halle Barry im just sayin

PleasurePrinciple said:

well they look great together and he looks quite smitten over her. Time will tell. I wonder what Prince thinks. It kinda messed up to see someone walk away with half your earnings and now she's sharing it with another man. Damn!

wonder505 said:

He looked INLOVE with Halle 2...but uhhh ... im sorry im the type of girl thats like once a cheater always a cheater.I know its not rite but thats just how It hink
anyway...
I was thinkin the same thing about the earnings thing!!!If I was Prince Id be burnin up right now...cuz dude aint even a nobody that shed be supporting...hes a somebody that he could potentially bump in2 ...weird

...oh,and yes they do look nice 2gether.Mani always looks nice 2 me tho

Anxiety said:

Mani likes those bad boys!

wonder505 said:

But do you REALLY think Mani got half??? Seriously doubt that. . cuz P KNOW how to keep his paper. . . just like Eric didn't get zilch from Halle when she dumped him. He left with what he came with didn't even get a house outta the dea. At least Mani has a place to live. P's M.O. seems to be "Uh, you sho can't get no big money, but I'll at least leave yo ass with a roof over your head. But you got to cover the utilities." So if worse comes to worse and Eric and Mani will have shelter. . . in Toronto.

He's handsome but he is a straight up whore and that is all I see when I look at him. I don't think I could be with someone who regularly cheated on his previous woman. Once a cheater always a cheater. Maybe she's just seeing him and doesn't want any serious commitment. At least I hope that's the case unless she enjoys being a fool.

Yeah but Mani doesn't strike me as the type of person to just settle for what Prince was going to give her. You forget she graduated from law school, she knows how to read between the lines and remember she tried to go after his California assets. Not only that, she used one of his former attorneys who used to handle his business, for the divorce. I just get the feeling with these corporate payoff gigs he's doing, this divorce cost him more than we think.

Mani has a law degree? I thought she had a 4 year degree in Art History or something like that.

PurpleCharm said:

I remember reading that was not true. An Orger here went to see her at Nordstrom and said Mani denied that story.

wonder505 said:

You're right, girlfriend ain't stupid and does have a law degree. But all I'm saying is that I seriously doubt she got half of what he earned during their marriage because a prenup can limit what a spouse gets even if they are "entitled" to half, if both parties agree to it. Just like Eric didn't get squat even though Halle earned a lot of money during those few years they were together. If you agree to a lesser amount or to leave with what you came with in the prenup that's what you're going to get. And I don't see brotha Prince entering into Marriage #2 and knowing that he's got a roving eye without protecting his ASSets with a binding, rock solid prenup. He many not like contracts but his ass ain't stupid either.

Hey! Art History is no slouch degree!

Reminds of Mr & Mrs Smith when Brad tells Angelina that he has a degree in Art History and she's all, "Art???? " And he says, "History! Art History!" HAHAHAHAHAHA Imagine, a hit man with a degree in Art History. Funny.

wonder505 said:

So, she has an actual law degree...as in 3 additional years of schooling after undergrad or does she have a criminal justice undergraduate degree?

I am asking because I thought she moved to Minneapolis after she graduated from college, which would have made her approximately 25 years old after graduating from law school. I thought she was younger than that when she went to PP.

DevotedPuppy said:

I didn't mean it like that.

Oh ok, thanks.


I'm thinking that perhaps in Canada you can get an undergrad degrees in law.
I just don't see her having a law degree equivalent to the kind you get in the US.

Here's a couple more pics:
