I have a first person account from a buddy of mine who spent the whole evening with Prince and his WIFE while he was in Seattle on the ONA tour. This friend was introduced by Prince himself to his WIFE, and spent the whole evening with them. I can't see any reason why my friend would lie about it. Perhaps Prince lied? In any event the woman was introduced as his "new wife" for what its worth...

Never doubted it, what would be the purpose of lying about an unpublicized marriage?
Also, I hope your friend gave you more details as to his night out with them, otherwise that must have been some boring night!

maybe they r "married", maybe they r not, but there is so much more to a true marriage than just calling someone a "wife"...and she was supposedly introduced as his "new wife"? that sounds rather degrading if u ask me...almost like she is temporary and being compared to someone else...

They're married..so what?..they're not..so what? I still got bills and have to work for a living.

OKAY, to get technical about it, "new wife" was not the exact quote out of Prince's mouth. It was the words my friend used in relaying the experience to me. Since I was not there I have no idea what exactly was said. My friend told me he was introduced to "Prince's new wife". So I would expect something more like Prince's quote to my friend being, "this is my wife..." --JUST so I'm not misunderstood. Thanks for allowing me to clarify :d

Your friend is not a real friend because he/she just spread a rumor to you. Prince and Mani are not married. Thank you.

A RUMOR?

I know this guy well enough to know he would not lie to me about what he was told by Prince.

I will not debate whether Prince lied to my friend, I have no idea. I guess it is theoretically possible Prince would lie to my friend about the woman being his "wife" but WHY?

For those of you who doubt this, feel free... but all I can say is that HE DID meet them and spend the whole night with them (yes there are more details, yes it was a fascinating tale, yes I know a lot more, but I chose only to say what's relevant to this topic) and had ample opportunity to talk with them both first hand in real-world situations. He came away from it and told me that this woman is "Prince's new wife" so when was the last time YOU had dinner with Prince? Hm ? :d

Mac:

Details, baby, details. How'd his meeting with the man go?

Well if he is Married and I Know I am not Alone in my Thoughts. I Wish He Wasn't! It makes me Cry!

===No one (at least myself) is saying your friend lied...but we all know prince has done so, many times in his past, and it's a bit hard 2 trust him. he could have a number of reasons to want 2 b known as married, only known 2 himself. he's very religious now, and i dont know if his past lifestyle of "partyman/playboy would fit in! however, (i always like to get deep on this subject) he may realize how difficult it is to resist women, even now? so he has mani accompany him as his alleged wife for protection and support to keep him in line. and she's wth him nearly ALL the time! somehow, i feel she's like his guard against sin. but thats only ONE theory. only prince knows 4 sure. we probobly never will! but the way that marriage took place so secretly, if it did, and the fact things looked staged as all heck. who really knows 4 sure, but I will hold my theory that he's not. if he wants to b known as a married man, he then must act it (as he HAS, until this lucy mans thing, but thats probobly bogus again)!its just not the lifestyle 4 a man who is sooo sexual, it must be awful hard (no pun intended). whatever...

Exactly,Grande Belle let me Tell ya Somethin. If Prince needs Mani to keep him Clean and Safe from Sin then he has No Will-Power of his Own ! He Must be Strong On His Own. I Know He is Strong! He is Also a Control Freak. This woman is there to keep all of us Female fans Away from Him or so he would think we wouldn't Disrespect Him since he Claims he's married. Whatever,so he doesn't want Sex . That's his Business and not Ours. It's his Personal ,Private Business.It's Also BULLSHIT!

If he would Only stop with his Image in the fact of being PRINCE and the VANITY/Denise/Mani Shit I do Believe he would find True Happiness. I Sure Hope he finds it.

I have a rat's ass in my possession. But I ain't givin' it.

OH GOOD GOD! I can't believe this is still up for debate. For what it's worth Mac, I believe you. It's totally possible, good for your friend, blah blah blah. Damn, check the ring y'all!!

It doesn't matter if he is married or not.

If that is what he wants to project
who is anybody to disrespect his choice
and the message he wants to give publicly
or privately.

Should guys jump all on Brittny Spears
because she's looks like a little hot thing? Or realize she hung with gay JT
to keep pigs away while maintaining
the image.

I don't think this is what Prince is doing
,by the way.

Yes natasha i beleve its true. sad, but true. especially 4 us who missed the "days of wild" era of not TOO long ago. if he isnt married to mani, he may b practicing for marriage so he can be faithful when/if it occurs. he may honestly want to abide by Gods will of indescriminent/promiscuous sex, which i'm sure God frowns on. i dont believe he doesnt dig sex now. but God is more important to him, and the man keeps busy, he tires himself out to no end with those supermega performances of his. he spends time with his bible, he's a fireball of energy! amazing! AND he probobly takes lots of COLD SHOWERS... lasly, whether or not he and mani r married,u can be almost sure they have sex. monogamous. now watch, with my luck, the rumours about this model who is way too young, too tall, wet behind the ears, career oriented (which is not princes xact preference, to have a wife as career obsessed as she) a party person at 17, etc., etc.will turn out to be true, but i doubt it. and YES, it is HIS business. but i feel prnce wants people to think well of him, and the old playboy image he once had wouldnt match with new stronger religious beliefs. he'd have to play down his spirituality, and we know he loves to share this with us too much. maybe, ppl, he's married to God? it wouldnt surprise me at all.

O.K. Grande Belle I do believe you are an Intelligent and Learned Person. I reckon Mayte does not Share Prince's Religious Stance on Chastity before marriage or Clean Living being with Signor Tommy Lee.

He used to Have Wild Sex and Now he has Passive Sex? Is this what you are saying Belle? No wonder he's Sad. A Woman's got to be Hot in Bed. O.K. You can be Gorgeous but if you are just laying there Forget it. Mani looks way Too Straight she's no Mayte and no Vanity. Not Dirty Enough. Maybe he had Enough with those Types.

CS, i wear a wedding ring at times when i dont want to be "hit" on, so to speak, what evidence does a RING make? prince also is known 4 wearing wedding rings, no? anyone can wear a ring. and the reason this is up for debate AGAIN is because the media pushed this all up in our faces about prince and lucy... also, i hAve 2 say i have SEEN P/MAYTE'S marriage certificate. it was on a cd, no less! but where's his and manis? wedding pics? witnesses to the ceremony? u know how hard it is for high profile ppl to keep their wedding under wraps? almost impossible! but it DOES boil down to married or not, prince has his reasons evidentally, and RIGHT, to tell all or no. i just think he'd feel better if he told the truth, and he might be?

Natasha said:

I dont know 4 sure natasha. ppl can change, and especially prince! for him, he may not look at it as sad or boring. he's certainly been around, had his fun, been there, done that, and may b ready to go this journey he's on...to be nearer to God. however, he still notices the women, (he's NOT dead) probobly desires some, but that may be where mani comes in. to keep him focused? btw, that was larry's job, no? where is he? since the celebration, havent seen or heard about him. did he get fired? is he on tour? does he still live next to prince in minny? no one knows?

I agree with you!

grandebelle said:

I understand you and I agree with you. He is not married!

It's none of my Business but say Prince tours half the year. Each and every Day he is in the studio? If so where is all of the Cds and Videos? Just Seems like alot is Disorganized with Scheduling and The NPGMC. I'd Think he'd have it more Tight.

Natasha said:

It's really hard to speculate, and i'm not going to dis her. i heard she was religious. not like prince tho. remember she no doubt had sex with prince before tying the knot. i dont have any idea why she's with tommy. i do know that tommy is very charismatic, and loving and sexy from what i heard. he looks rough, beat pam, etc. but he might be a sweetie inside, and u cant judge a book by it's cover alone! i'm NOT saying prince isnt a sweetie. he is. who knows tho, what floats ppl's boats...when a person has marital problems the attraction to another is greater. just like prince probobly turned to mani. (lucky girl) from what we seen of mayte lately, she obviously didnt like her life with prince for some reason, plus she also wanted a career and prince never wanted his women to work or work with others besides him. i believe she was the love of his life, not vanity, not susann, etc. she may always be? (in his heart, 4 sure!) i think he immersed himself in religion to get through it all. he thanks God for getting him through, and mani. but as mayte being loose, or tommy and her living a dirty life? who knows 4 sure? we do what we got 2 do!

How Utterly Republican of You Grande Belle. What I mean is I do Believe what you are saying Is true. However,I also Believe that Prince is Hurting since losing Mayte and his Child. I think Yes,he turned to Mani to Help him through this Hurt/Pain. Looking at her now in the Picture I do Believe her to be Quite Pretty. However,I am Sure Prince Misses the Wildness he had with Mayte. He Needs another Hot Thing. He really does. Mani just looks too Clean and Perfect in a sense. Above all Prince just Needs alot of Love and Support.

Natasha said:

And he may have his Princess and as such Mayte was suppose to be. His fantasy,but He'll Never have Wild Sex as it Were with Mayte. He needs a Wife who is a whore and I Do Not see Mani as A Whore at all. They were Utterly Wild. It will be calm now. The Music reflects the calmness. Maybe this is what he Wants Now. May God Bless Them Both.

Natasha said:

And the operative word is: "looks" Do you know Mani? Do you know what she's about? She doesn't care about 'chu!! :O



Then why don't you give it to him instead of bitching about his WIFE 24/7???



I question her sanity, yet I frequent a site populated w/ lunatics...

Natasha said:

Again natasha, u cant judge a book by it's cover. mani might be real hot in bed. how someone looks dont matter. yes, a woman should be hot in bed for her man, but the way it works is: no matter how gorgeous u are, being hot in bed gets BORING to a man. if thats ALL u are, is a hot to trot, a man wont stay around long. u have to add class, style, brains, and other things to keep him interested. yes, i think too, prince may have had his fill of "the beautiful ones", or "the empty headed sex freaks". mani is NOT a dud in bed. that prince wouldnt stand 4. if he's upset of late, i think it may have lots to do with the bootlegging thing, his disloyal fans or maybe their relationship has it's ups and downs, as all do! but u can definately notice he is out of sorts/grouchy lately. but he says hes happy. believe him, i guess.
