Just been thinking lately, why didn't he just do a divorce? Why an annulment? I could be totally wrong on this, but I thought an annulment would usually only be granted in extreme cases, (fraud, etc). I hadn't thought about it till now, but wonder why he went that route!?

At first I heard an annulment, then I heard they got a divorce. Seems like one minute they were "so in love" and supposed "soulmates" then the next minute it was if she never existed. I know they had alot of heartache losing their son, but I feel if they were REALLY meant to be, they would've been able to work it out. P. moved on with his life, but Mayte never got over him. I feel kinda sorry for her in that she never got any closure while he was still alive.

I thought it was a divorce....he did try to get back with her. He said there wasnt any guile in here. She would cook for him, they had a green house at PP when they grew veggies. He was really acting like a married man expecting his first child. I am going to say this one last time...the wiles and ways of a woman, Manny

unless u walked them shoes no ones knows🙄🤔🙄private matter.... what's a one sided relationship but simply that.....but again she has moved on and is happy with child....imagine how her man feels re this news....one min she's w j lee next working the exs tv show....now he's passed re proclaimed love.....she should have dated loved and be happy....love is what love gives and gets... God bless her whith her new life and rip Prince....

I agree but I was only basing my opinions on what I have heard over the years regarding them. I heard she was posting some not so nice things about P on her twitter page and she wanted to put the book out, but he threatened to sue her or something like that. I heard her say a few years back they no longer speak.She was very young during their marriage and I truly feel that she wanted things to work out, but as we can see it just wasn't meant to be. I think too, some fans just wanted P to be happy and be settled with just one woman but he wasn't that kind of man since he had so many women. Oh well, what's done is done. I do wish her all the best and hope she can find some peace.

They didn't annull. Not possible because they had a child during their marriage.

I always thought that the annulment story was bs, probably put out there by either Prince or Mayte (sounds more like Prince) because they did not want to come out and say that they were no longer together. As I recall, the annulment was supposed to be because Prince was against all contracts, which included the marriage contract.

Huh? You can definitely get an annulment even if there is issue (i.e., children) from a marriage.

That's how I remember it too.

That whole annulment thing was likely BS.

-

A person can't just rescind a marriage contract because decide they don't like contracts. Here's Minnesota statute regarding annulment; I don't think any of these apply to this situation:

-

518.02 VOIDABLE MARRIAGES.

A marriage shall be declared a nullity under the following circumstances:

-

(a) A party lacked capacity to consent to the marriage at the time the marriage was solemnized, either because of mental incapacity or infirmity and the other party at the time the marriage was solemnized did not know of the incapacity; or because of the influence of alcohol, drugs, or other incapacitating substances; or because consent of either was obtained by force or fraud and there was no subsequent voluntary cohabitation of the parties;

-

(b) A party lacks the physical capacity to consummate the marriage by sexual intercourse and the other party at the time the marriage was solemnized did not know of the incapacity;

-

(c) A party was under the age for marriage established by section 517.02.

It was exactly that. It was during his whole, "We don't need no stinkin' CONtracts" phase. I remember very clearly him saying that he and Mayte didn't need a (marriage) contract between them - like it was some lovely, spiritual thing.

And then he divorced her.

he also said that they would always be married "spiritually". stranger still ,to me,was that he was doing those interviews to promote NPSoul and talking about 'the one' video. and that mayte was the one for him ......

honestly i think the annulment/spiritual marriage/whatever stuff was just an attempt to obfuscate unpleasant realities about his/their personal life and marriage. I don't know why he/they felt it necessary to attempt to do that (why not just stay silent on problems you don't want to draw attention to), but apparently they had a different approach at that time.

Apparently Prince's female friends said he still had deep feelings for Mayte recently. I knew in my heart that both of their pride got in the way and that makes me sad because I can only imagine what she is going through right now. She knows. she is incredibly strong and his spirit is with her.

huh? who said that and where? reciepts please.

Prince didn't still have deep feelings for Mayte. He wanted nothing to do with her, and kicked her to Spain.

That was in 2000, you have no idea how he may have felt, just like I don't know that. How a person feels about past situations at the time is different from the way he felt now. People can change their minds about certain people that were once in their lives, but it is not for you to say how he may have felt about a past situation, and state that he felt the same way about her twenty years ago. As time goes by, time changed the way he felt, and I don't believe that he wanted nothing to do with her now, since this happened so long ago; and just because they did not speak in recent years does not mean he wanted nothing to do with her, they just grew apart after their breakup.

She has stated that they haven't spoke since the divorce. Now does that sound like Prince still had deep feelings for her????

PennyPurple, I know they had not spoken since the divorce, but like I said, times change, and people change their minds about how they feel about other people. How she feels about him now, is her business, and no one can tell her any different; how he felt about her recently, does not mean he could not stand her now. I am sure he felt like he would always love her, even though they never spoke or got back together in recent years. Again, like I said, just because they did not speak since their divorce does not mean he can't change his mind about how he feels about her now, as opposed to how he felt twenty years ago. He changed his mind about how he felt, and that is the end of this discussion; as I have stated my opionion about it, just as you have stated yours. You believe what you want, and I will believe what I want, but just the same, given the very sad circumstances, she forgave him for what happened between them.

It might be the end of your discussion on this matter, but it certainly isn't the end of my discussion on this matter. Just because she may have forgiven him, doesn't mean he forgave her. I think if he'd changed his mind where Mayte is concerned, he would've have contacted her. And that Never happened.

One or both of them couldn't put their egos aside. He's watching over her now. All is understood and forgiven between them both and there's only love.

Yeah...sure he is....... (insert eyeroll here)

Why do you make a statement, then delete your posts?
