She is a class act, unlike Mani.I just do not care for her. She got what she wanted, publicity and his money. And she took the o my thing Mayte wanted, P. I am only going by what Meltedman has said and he said they are divorced. Meltedman should know since he was right smack dab in that whole mess between Prince and Mayte. Prince used that annullment bullshit to make himself not seem like so much of an ass to the public. There was never going to be a vow renewal or whatever they wete planning to do on the following valentines day. In addition to not really being there for Mayte after the babies died and giving her the emotional support that she needed, Prince cheated on that poor girl. Prince was running back and forth to NY and LA fucking other chicks and Mayte didnt think that was happening until her friends peeped her to his game and gave her the 411 on what he was doing. Mayte never cheated on Prince. Mayte wanted a strong marriage and a family. Prince gave up on the marriage basically after the the deaths of the kids and shoved that poor girl in the house in marbella and expected her to just go along with it. Mayte always had an angel of sorts on her shoulder during that period and those were people who loved and cared about her and refused to just let Prince fuck her over. The nightclub incident at float really showed Prince's true colors during the last part of that marriage. Prince showed up at the club with his bodyguard. Mayte did not want to see Prince. Dave aka Meltedman was in VIP with Mayte and he knew how she felt and was not about to let her night get fucked up by a purpy little man. Dave went to Aaron(Prince's bodyguard) and told him that they had to leave. Prince was not budging at all until Dave inadverently threatened him by saying that he could get the whole club to whup Prince's bony little ass. Prince never returned to float after that. Mayte had the opportunity many times during that marriage to fuck around that marriage but she remained loyal and believed that they could make it and you really have to admire that given the circumstances. The nightclub incident was just Prince wanting to have control over his wife and not wanting her to have a social life and to be constantly under his spell. If you are 25/26 years old, you will go out and have fun. You might not cheat on your spouse or go to a nightclub but you are going to enjoy your youth. You are going to live it up before the casket drops hun. I think that once P realized his control on Mayte was loosening, then he decided to let her go. Mayte had so much legal power during that divorce and possibly even now when it comes to publishing rights but she wouldnt clean P out then or now. People have called Mayte crazy cause of that whole wedding china fiasco and cause of this recent video but she is not drunk or crazy. Mayte was a woman in love and who is still in love and that is not going to change. Dont expect Mayte to make any crazy claims to P's estate cause she never wanted to hurt him in life and she certainly will not do in death regardless of how Prince hurt her during the marriage and afterwards. You dont hurt the people you love even if they hurt you. I hope this does not come across as disrespectful, or distasteful: but do you understand why people would consider Mayte "crazy" (unfair term), or highly unsuited to do that? They divorced nearly twenty years ago, that's a lifetime for people of their ages. She may have loved him, but he moved on. I understand that losing their son probably became emotionally hard to handle, but let us be honest and say that Prince and Mayte's relationship was probably (just assuming) flawed from the get go. She was incredibly young, and as understood did not appropriately move on from that situation. I personally don't think she should have any business in his estate at this time, or any for that matter. Just because their contact was extremely limited (according to her). Just my two cents, and where is this story from? | |

People are judgemental. Period. That's how someone would say she is crazy. It's easy to judge from afar and from the anonymity of a computer. Yes, it has been decades but Mayte was young. She didn't get closure (per her friend) so Prince's death has brought up old feelings buried long ago and not properly dealt with. Mayte herself said that doing Hollywood Exes allowed her to talk about Amir. Heck, she couldn't even (publicly) mention his name until Prince died. Imagine how that felt? Should Mayte have tried to reach out to Prince for closure? Perhaps but that isn't for us to judge. We all have relationships that scar us and leave lifelong wounds. People seem to lack emphathy when it comes to looking at other people's lives. Mayte clearly stated Prince divorced her in that video which means she was still in love with him when they split. So you have her falling in love, losing her virginity, getting married, losing a baby and then her husband leaving her all by the time she is 25. That's ALOT to deal with for anymore. Most women also don't go through all that stuff with ONE man either. She's not crazy. She's grieving. You have to remember also that Mayte was around for 10 years or so. If I'm not mistaken she was around the longest out of all his "women." She worked with him and was involved professionally. I think the only reason some are in favor of Mayte being involved with the estate is because she clearly loved him. She's always loved him. She consistenly said so for years and has never spoken badly about him in all this time. Some feel that she'd do what she feels is best for his legacy as opossed to others who might look solely at dolar signs. The reality is that she probably won't be involved in with the estate. The fact that she hasn't been around him for years doesn't minimize the past years that she was around. | |

Prince's most beautiful girl in the world has been sad her entire life since the breakup of her marriage. I think she has loved him her whole life, and i believe he always loved her. She was the love of his life. So sad. | |

The fact that she hasn't been around him for years doesn't minimize the past years that she was around. I understand, as you read in my inquiry; I am not necessarily judging but proposing question because I see many people continuously commenting on her, Mayte, being the "love of his life." That phrase in itself is a falsity that we should not assume because let us remember that before, after, and during Mayte, there were others. I will not bring up Vanity despite people having problematic idea that she was irrelevant to his life story and because I think it is respectful to not mention her here, but I will say that she set some sort of standard that any Prince supporter can not deny. I definitely feel for Mayte, she seems like a nice person. I never heard her say that she was not allowed to mention Ahmir's name, rather she just never stated it; which clearly exposes the baggage that comes along with that. I definitely do not fault her for being open about her distresses. Mayte was incredibly young, which is why I proposed that is a big portion (aside from her internal 'love' for him) of her troubles. It is Prince, we are discussing, you know? I'm not trying to dehumanize him or pedastalize him.. But realistically, this is a supreme human being and to have any sort of bond with him or someone of such caliber would serve as a big memory and be engrained forever. I have a similar experience as to when I met someone who was almost like my hero, idol, and had a brief relationship with them. I definitely empathize, because I am 23 and I believe she was my age experiencing this. I think that all of this empathy aside though, I don't believe people should be getting angry about why they believe this to be semi-attention grabbing behavior. I understand she has had pain in her life, but I also think that continuously telling someone that an old partner of theirs loved hem more than anyone and anything else in the world is not helping. We can't say that for fact and can only assume that because it sounds like a fairytale. In her world, as she said, she is with him, but in his world, it was very apparent he was not with her. Again, I'm not belittling their love, or privacy. I do also think she's made his death, and life, somehow all about her since the news broke out and she does a hefty job with ensuring people refer to her as Prince's ex-wife which is somewhat out of context and out of order. Mayte had stated that she'd reached out a few times, so she did make effort, but I don't think what she was hoping for was reciprocated. Let us remember that Susan Moonsie was around for a long time, Wendy & Lisa, And so on. I hope Mayte gets better, I really do. Prince, from what I know, had relations and connections to others in the last twenty years. How come we don't empathize with them just as much is all I'm saying. They know him the best, the most recent, they're able to connect the dots. | |

Awe I like Mayte. I can feel her eternal love for Prince. She put her heart and soul into that absolutely stunning piece of body art and is wearing is pridefully. Bravo! Truly one of beat Prince tribute tattoos I've seen yet. Much blessings and comfort goes out to her.

Wizard - wasn't saying you were judging. Just speaking generally. From some of the comments I've seen online from people from facebook, instagram, youtube. I will say that this board is probably more kind to Mayte even if they don't agree with the choice. I guess as diehard Prince fans that's to be assumed but everyone isn't/hasn't been so kind. At the end of the day she's human and she's grieving. It's her PROCESS. People should cut her some slack.
I feel like fans emphathize with everyone from the past including current/more recent girlfriends. I can't say I do as much because to me he seemed to have a multiple flavors of the month. Darmaris, Jill, etc... They all seem to speak about him fondly as if he made them feel like they were the only women on earth. But I do acknowlege that they loved him and he cared for them. I don't know why there aren't threads for all the later lady friends.
I also don't think Mayte has made anythiing about herself. She's tried to honor him though the love SHE had for him. Not sure how that's making the situation about her. She hasn't given any interviews. They only covered that Single Moms awards show speech because Prince died. She had no control over the media being there and she obviously mentioned him in the speech because he's Amir's father. Losing Amir led to her adopting Gia. The two are linked. Mayte signed a NDA when she divorced Prince. I'm sure not speaking Amir's name was kinda some unwritten rule. Prince never even confimred his death to the press so I highly doubt Mayte was going to go around saying their son's name. She even said on Hollywood Exes she preferred not to make Prince "mad." As for the love of his life thing. Every fan has their opinion. Only Prince knows the answer. The rest is just speculation. BUT I will say I think it's different for fans who LIVED though Mayte and Prince's love affair vs someone as young as yourself. Prince displayed his love for Mayte in a way that he hasn't before and really didn't after her. I remember watching Oprah when it aired and thinking that he was totally in love with Mayte. The way he was looking her. I was young and I remember thinking I hoped to meet a man that looked at me like that. The way she was always by his side durng every tv appearance, award show, etc. He seemed to keep his relationships more private after Mayte.
We all have our respective opinions. I see where you are coming from completely. [Edited 5/22/16 19:04pm] [Edited 5/22/16 19:05pm] | |

I'm not sure what I did, but I completely adore Mayte. I feel she and Prince were soul mates. They endured many losses, in the public spot light. I think she is the most honest, loving woman he had in his life. Aside from his dear friend Miss Sheila E. I get upset when people bash her. She seems genuine, honest and loving. I hope she finds peace, my heart breaks for her. | |

Sheila's finished piece. It's a great design. A little larger fit my taste though.

I agree 100%. Pardon me, I am just getting used to this format. I am a newbie. Mayte, even from afar, seems completely genuine. I hope she is okay. I don't think she will ever love anyone again in that capacity. Every thing you stated, I agree with. <3 | |

You can see a lot about a person, solely from the way they look at each other. Prince had said it himself about Mayte. I agree, I think the rest were just flavors of the month. He had a huge ego and I think women filled that ego. Mayte was different. I think some of the last were merely friends and he was their mentor. I don't like Manuela. I don't know her from Adam, but she seems disingenuous to me. Just my opinion. I adore Mayte and maybe I will just not post anymore. It seems wrong and I feel horribly for her. Such a beautiful soul she is. [Edited 5/23/16 9:46am] | |

She was pregnant twice and the children were Princes, Not Tommy Lees. Im trying to figure out why people cant read... they are adding their own side of the story, which is a false statement... this is how rumors start. | |

Just watched this press conference in Spain. (see a thread I posted about it, if you will.) Prince worshiped that woman. And she obviously worshiped him. Then life got in the way. | |

I have to jump in here and put my two cents in .... I agree with those above who feel that Mayte was special ... I have never seen Prince look at another woman the way he did Mayte ... And she looked at him the same way .... He was so protective of her, it was just so precious ! I sometimes wonder if maybe they might have found their way back to each other if A certain person had not inserted herself into the picture .. I truly feel in my heart that if that had happened , Prince would have died a much Happier man . I don't think anyone ever filled that spot in his heart that Mayte did . I also agree with the poster who said, life got in the way , I feel that the term " star crossed lovers " fits Prince and Mayte to a tee. My heart is hurting for Mayte and I wish her all the happiness she can grab onto in this cruel, cruel world . Not saying she can't love again, and be happy ,but I don't think Anyone will ever quite fill that spot in her heart that belongs only to Prince . I love Mayte and wish only the best for her .And as an adoptive momma , I am so happy she finally got to fill her hearts desire of being a mom. | |

Oh man, who has not gotten drunk after getting devistating news? I feel for Mayte she must be going through so many emotions right now and still trying to be a great parent to a daughter she loves. I have a lot of compassion for her, especially since by initiating to process to auction Prince's gifts to her, she was trying to move on with her life and then this happens. I love Mayte and her authenticity. | |

Thirty years ago my fiancé ... The gold standard that no man has ever measured up to ...( yeah , I know , it's sad, but true, but they don't know this ) passed away I was young and had no children and I spent many nights getting hammered and sometimes just a bit buzzed . During one of those weekends I too got a tattoo in his memory ... No regrets ever, except for I wish I had put it where I would see it all of the time .Back then tattoos were more taboo so I put it on my hip . And guess what ? I went on and had relationships ,got married and became a mom. I think Mayte is going to be just fine , she might not be feeling it right now,but she's going to be just fine .I wish that I had a child to love and love me back during that dark period of my life . And, there's always going to be a little piece of her heart that belongs only to Prince , no matter how or who she finds with again.But that's ok cause I think she has a big old heart and there's plenty of room left . | |

I realized how much he adored her after watching that Oprah interview. When Oprah asked him something along the lines of what was the best part about Mayte for him, his response was, "She makes it easier to talk to God." I'm sorry but you don't just say something like that about some chick that is just the flavor of the month for you. They were soulmates and I don't think he ever truly loved anybody after they broke up. He did remarry Mani but it just wasn't the same and the same goes for Mayte's engagement to Tommy Lee. Rebound relationships were basically what those were to me anyway. What always makes me laugh about people who are soo critical about tattoos is that they are usually the first ones to spew about how religious they are. Last I checked, judging is one of the biggest sins you can ever committ so maybe they should think about that before implying that someone is a bad person or mother for getting an extremely tasteful tattoo as a tribute to someone that they obviously still love. I'd hate to see what some would have said if she had gotten a black and gray Prince portrait tattoo instead. They would have probably shit a kitten. Prince Rogers Nelson

Design-wise I like Mayte's a bit better. But this one's cool too. I agree its a bit large, but it's nice, and if anyone can pull off that large a symbol tattoo it'd be someone like her who can justify it for all the years they spent performing together. Change it one more time.. | |
