Are Prince's protégés married? Morris Day, Jesse Johnson et al As a newcomer to prince.org I first wish to extend sympathies to fellow Prince fans. The topic of posts is saddening. Now that a plethora of Prince's protégés and associated musicians are touring and playing in tribute to him I thought it interesting to know more about them. Many seem ready to be in the spotlight!
Start with any protégé you favor and post fotos with their partners/wives/husbands and updates on them. I am particularly interested in those I have met, including Jesse Johnson and Morris Day, but am also curious what they have all been up to the past thirty-two years! In another post I asked if Jesse Johnson were married and was messaged he indeed is. The song Sheila Rae on his latest album is his wife. I was messaged a foto link by a fellow orger who wishes to remain anonymous that I will post once I familiarize myself with the formatting of the site. Let us keep it light and interesting!

It sounds like all the Time members are married except for Jellybean? Here is a lovely photo of Jimmy Jam and his wife.  | |

[Edited 10/13/16 1:47am] I remember he played the love interest in one of Jody's vids. "We just let people talk & say whatever they want 2 say. 9 times out of 10, trust me, what's out there now, I wouldn't give nary one of these folks the time of day. That's why I don't say anything back, because there's so much that's wrong" - P, Dec '15 | |
