Neither did they ever go out on a date. “I doubt any woman ever has... he’s not really a cinema kinda guy,” she says.

"We were friends first," she said. "We were friends and then he became my boss and then it just, the flirtation happened. We went to the movies all the time. The first date-date that he was like, 'It's courting time,' was when we were engaged."

Seriously, Prince loved movies. He used to watch movies all the time and he loved popcorn. No joke!

He took a lot of other ladies out on dates. Interesting. Just like the fact that he stayed friends with so many old girlfriends but not the two ex-wives.

That is quite telling, I have to agree.

She has made A LOT of money on her book, after all it is a best seller. I hope she does write another one.

Me too. If she has more to say, she should say it. I think everyone closely connected to him should write a book, from his wives to his bandmates, to the executives at Warners, to the recording engineers, to the random women/men he had sex with. His stuff needs to be fully documented while all these people are still alive.

Yep, definitely says something.

Cool, I enjoyed the first book, looking forward to the second.

His first ex wife cannot accept he was not really wanting a forever. She needs to pack up her toys and stop talking about Prince.

A little hypocritical for someone who keeps talking about Vanity, & how she meant everything to Prince.

If she does a write a book about the genesis of songs Prince wrote while she was in Prince's life, I can just imagine a band member and other collaborators pulling her card, disputing how songs was written and recorded. Prince's death has been the best thing for Mayte because it made Mayte's dormant celebrity before he died into a "poor-put-upon-widow-who-can-play-the-victim" persona whose remarks about Prince promoting her book and what she wrote can't be challenged without an apologist saying "it was her life too". As Don King says about the American hustle-"ONLY IN AMERICA".

Prince had no widows

He divorced Mayte and married someone else. So she is not a widow. I think she needs to be called out for calling him her husband - the proper term is ex-husband.

But, they love Vanity.

"it's coming from love". LAWD HAVE MERCY! She can stab someone in the back and sweetly say "it's coming from a place of love" without batting an eye. I don't have a problem with her writing a book about her creative contributions to Prince's music (backing vocals, choreography of videos for certain songs, inspiration for songs) but I hope she reaches out to the musicians who played and helped arrange the music on those songs to give greater context to that period and for those cats to get their just due.

---But she is not going to write about that. No one is going to pay money to read about her unless she talks about Prince. Now I hope people will start to wake up and see her what she is. This is one of those things I wanted to be wrong about.

It appears she never got closure and haven't completely moved on. She might be still angry about everything she felt he wronged her in. She couldn't discuss it before his death because she likely knew he would sue. Reading some of the quotes from her book, it's like she wants everyone to know just how much he hurt her. I think it would have been ok for her to have left some of that personal stuff out of the book. She said it herself that in her eyes he was still her husband because he divorced her and she didn't divorce him.

I certainly have never heard of this. Please provide your source. She spent 10 years with the man and during the Emancipation promotion, he could not speak enough about how she influenced those particular works. You can choose to ignore the facts but you are never going to change the narrative. Here is a link to several articles where he professes his adoration and love for his wife at the time: content://com.sec.android...2943.mhtml Thought I would pull a few meaningful snippets: He gazes at a huge photo of Mayte on his wall. She inhabits his music and conversation and inspired Paisley Park's conversion from corporate austerity to a kaleidoscopic fun house with cloud-mottled blue walls. No wonder he's ditched Prince, the rake whose salty tunes celebrated promiscuity. The Artist is plum bewitched and happily monogamous. "There's always been a dichotomy in my music: I'm searching for a higher plane, but I want the most out of being on earth," he says. "When I met Mayte, I looked at my situation and wondered what I was running from. Am I lonely? Is that why I surround myself with so many friends? "I don't think I knew the answer until I got married and made the commitment: 'I will take care of you forever.' When she walked down the aisle, and I looked into the eyes of this woman-child, I could see our future and the eyes of our child. At moments like that, you are floating. There is no ego." Mayte inspired "Let's Have a Baby," "Sex in the Summer" and "Friend, Lover, Sister, Mother/Wife." On "Saviour," he coos, "We're like two petals from the same flower." On the album, he proposes marriage in "The Holy River," a rolling midtempo song akin to Bruce Springsteen's quieter side. Later, a sparse, tender piano ballad begs, "Let's Have a Baby". Asked about that song, he talks about the couple's wedding night. "I carried her across the threshold and gave her many presents," he says. "The last one was a crib. And we both cried. She got down on her knees in that gown, and I did next to her, and we thanked God that we could be alive for this moment." Like a man in love, he adds: "She really makes my soul feel complete. I feel powerful with her around. And she makes it easier to talk to God." Do you think your wife has had a positive influence on your life? (question posed by interviewer) Yes, certainly. She is the woman of my life, my best friend. We were made to be together and all the ingredients were there to unite us. I could post more but hate to make this post too terribly long. You get the idea, I'm sure. These articles paint a very tender, sweet picture of their union. A man completely besotted! Happy reading!
