...and of course India

...they all look related(not in a father-mother sort of way but like older sister and brother type,lol)

Mani looks absolutely stunningly beautiful now that she is with Eric Benet!! When she was with Prince she looked like an old woman in her 50s or 60s!!!!!

Prince seems 2 ruin women somehow!!!!!

prince didn't ruin mani. it was a marraige based on false prentenses and was doomed from the start.

this is a great picture though. everyone looks happy. wish I could fit in that dress.

They look great. Mom, Father and Child. Happy Family. I wonder if Mani is going to have a child with Eric?

Isnt it weird how great she looks and she looked nowhere near as good when she was with him? I think he's a vampire and when they be sleeping he sucks the youth out of them!

Well, I swear her look is so much better now. I think she was fulfilling his Fantasy with the fashions cause they just didn't suit a young woman and that's why a long time ago I really wasn't into her,but when I saw her at several Minneapolis places I realized she was Petite,Young and Pretty and Laid back. One cannot judge people from pictures cause pictures sometimes are bad or a wrong angle. She's Happy now cause she is doing what she wants with her Foundation In A Perfect World, probably Exercising and She eats Right and she Probably has her own Wardrobe or her own Friends or her Own Taste in picking her clothing. I always like her skinny. I wish her Well. The fans used to Rag her out and I don't know what that was about. They couldn't get over Mayte,but Obviously Prince Has and that Chapter is Closed. I wish Mayte would get herself a Man also and stop saying Mrs Nelson or what have you. It was a Tragedy,but that was a long time ago. Oh, and being into her doesn't mean in a SEXUAL way. It means that I think she is Cool and I had seen her at a Hair Salon and Bookstore in Minneapolis. I never knew who she was because she never talked and I wish she would have cause I would have been her friend or tell her what was being said in Minniewood.

Eric's daughter is beautiful.

Eric's daughter is beautiful! I'm sure she's been through so much, but she's been assured by her father's love and encouragement,and that's kept her strong.

Mani looks stunning, though she doesn't give bright smiles anymore, it's always a wistful far away look, but she's lovely. She also gives off a very strong spirit.

Eric is obviously very good for Mani and vice versa.

Yes, Mani has gotten on with her life, and so has Prince, and that's a good thing. We all remember the days of Prince and Mayte, and they were the perfect looking couple, but it wasn't to be. They went through an awful tragedy going on 13 years ago, but no matter how much time transpires it's something you never forget.

As far as Mayte using the moniker Mrs. Nelson, that is quite odd, and unnecessary.

Yes, true...One never gets over the Loss of a Child,but the Child was Sick and I swear a Sonogram Must have shown this or they must have knew Before she Had it and probably MAYTE DIDN'T WANT an ABORTION Being CATHOLIC. I Don't believe and I Know PRINCE WOULDN'T WANT her to have a HANDICAPPED CHILD. At that time he Didn't want to get Married. And why was the Child Handicapped If the Sonogram showed No ABNORMALITY? This a question never Explained. He was so happy and so was she. Very Strange. Prince said he wanted to be able to put a smile back on Mayte's face. Why hasn't Mayte Remarried and can she Not have children? If Mani wanted Children can it be Prince doesn't want them? Or is he looking to have Children with a younger woman and bring them up with No Birthdays or Christmas. The Child would feel so left out. Unless he talks or someone else we will Never know.

How the HELL would you know anything about their marriage? I hate when fans act like they are Prince's best friend with all this personal insight into his relationships.

What can't be disputed is the fact that Mani looked eerily bland and middle aged when she was with Prince in public.

PurpleKnight said:

wow, didn't know my opinions fucked you up so much. ofcourse i will never really know the actual truth, and outside of a prince message board in the real world it does not matter so i find it hilarious that you are taking it so personally. i also dont' recall you jumping down people's throat when they make negative assumptions about Prince as if they know him personally either.

besides, i clearly stated that she looks very happy and looks good in the pic.

She looks very indeed in that AMA-photo.

I dig her too in these following, from CJanssen's rich vault :


How she shines in the first one here above ... beautiful smile and captured moment.

From the same event









And here she's almost a sister of Vanity ...what a different doo can do...her smile just glows here. Very attractive.

beautful pic

Shango said:

Yeah, they looked really nice together.

I guess she wasn't entirely Happy cause she Divorced him. Those are Wonderful pictures for sure. What I hated was that weird one from the Basketball Game and also the one of her at Elton John's Gathering wearing Purple and her hair in a Bob. She looks best with Long Hair either Straight or with the Curls and when she wears tight sexy clothes that show her sleek and slim shape not hiding her Shape. She has always been a Beautiful girl and clearly she doesn't need Makeup,but I also liked Mayte's Makeuped look. Prince Creates Roles and looks for his girls and bandmembers. Also how old is Eric's daughter? She is very Voluptuous. Who is his ex-wife? Besides Halle Berry who also was Voluptuous? Does Mani want to get Married again? It's not really a Criteria and one can have a baby without being Married also.

I think in her later pics with Prince you can see it in her face she was not happy.

manuela is simply beautiful.
she didnt have to wear pounds of makeup or weave.
and she stayed true and didnt get work done on her chest.
thats why shes so stunning to me.
inside and out.

True, these are Beautiful pictures. She is Much Happier now. Beautiful Girl. Eric needs to marry her and let her have a baby.

Cool and classy shots !

i think prince is the one who looked his best with manuela. he looked happiest and healthiest when they were together, especially during his 40's. he was downright GLOWING during that 2001 appearance on the tonight show and i think he was with her then, no?

No, he looked terrible with Manuela. He was getting Fat,had age lines ,his clothes weren't correct. He wasn't looking so hot with her. Especially in the pictures at the game with that raggedy coat and stubble and all. He looked like he didn't care about stuff. Then he was not in top body shape,but now he's thin, young, clothes look great, smiling, playing music more. He looks Great. He's going to clubs and seems like a PARTY Guy having Fun. They are both better off now.

it's funny, i thought he looked best during the Rave era and that's when he was with both of them.

He looked best with Mayte,he was in his 30's. He still looks great... I just liked his body and everything with Mayte. I like his look Now also. His Booty was more PRONOUNCED in the MAYTE DAYS... He always wore those tight pants to show how tight and High his Booty was.

I have to agree a bit. He gad a very handsome style and most importantly, looked like he finally was at ease with life. P just seemed to be a happily married and relaxed guy who now had everything he needed.

How looks can be perceiving.


I know he's a couple of years older and pictures don't always tell the truth, but he looks more tensed again lately, and with that I mean the past year. And even though he probably wants to cover tired eyes it's a pitty he never goes out without his shades anymore. Doesn't feel like the same man he was just one year ago. But that's on photos...

Who knows maybe Mani will get Breast Implants. Whatever she decides to do she'll do. It seems every woman with Prince got them. I found out India is what around 17 years old and her Mother Died in a Car Crash after being in a COMA. How Sad for her and Eric.... Condolences.
[Edited 2/10/09 14:42pm]

Mani looks great....just one suggestion: Use some breast cutlets or something She looks really flat chested in those pics.

Anyway, I have always wondered about India Benet. I wonder if she still sees Halle Berry. Didn't Halle adopt her? Did she abort the adoption since she's had her own baby? Just curious about that.


Smooches;)

MsMisha319 said:

She IS flat chested. Why should she embellish her body. That's how she is.

actually i agree with wonder.
people couldnt get over that prince was in his 40's when he was with mani and mayte.
hes definitely showing age now.

Not to embellish her body, but to make the dress look better It needs some boob action.
