why did they split up they always looked so in love . i thought they where perfect for each other

well you could read what has been said in magazines etc. but i think the only people who really know is..well prince and mayte.

prince was cheating with skinny broke girl from Canada who was an intern who seduced him at paisley park...word was that she gave good "HEAD" which made prince Wanna BE HER LOVER. he thought she was a HOT THING but she turned out to be a DARLING NIKKI!

names have been omiited to protect privacy!

Because Prince is a control freak douche bag & Mayte just wasn't having it.

Prince stated acting weird(er) after they lost their baby. He went into a Mariah Carey phase where he denied that the baby died and pretended that everything was just fine. He freaked Mayte out of their home. Shit I saw the Oprah episode and he freaked me out.

Very sad what happened, the dead of their baby, the fame, many things against, so that what kept they together, then it was what splits them

The only people who know why Prince and Mayte divorced are Prince and Mayte!!!

Everybody else is just talking out their ass!!!

AS FANS and nothing more we could only guess from interviews like an interview with mayte where she said the pressure from losing their child e.t.c caused a strain on there relationship so to help deal with it he pushed himself to music which she may not have liked ..or the common reason people use like they 'simply grew apart'. But like the others said who truly knows apart from Prince and mayte

Mayte was a child, only 16 years old when they met. I think she just grew up and developed a mind of her own and realized that Prince is not what she wanted in a man. Maybe she wasn't as easy to control after she got a little bit older and more mature. We all know how Prince likes to control every move of his arm-candy. Only very young, unexperienced women, or gold-diggers would accept that kind of treatment from a man.

I love this one and seriously... I think this is what really happened.

don't think that's any of our business.

sadly and so very sad...the loss of the baby..and i think from this timeprince lost some of his direction and who can blame him?

A guy I knew worked as Security for Prince back in those days.
he said that after the baby was born Prince didn't want
Mayte to talk about it.. and if she would cry he would get
very upset with her.. That is very sad.. I mean he should
understand for a women to lose a child she carried is even worse.
Then he started to hang with Larry G. and got kinda nuts with
all that JW stuff.. (nothing against the faith) but you know
what I am saying.....
He pushed Mayte away and was not there for her as a husband
should be.....
It IS too bad.. cause they were a VERY cute couple and I
really believe for a long time they were very much in
love!!!!!

I hope some day Mayte can find some one special in her life
and have a child.... She is very sweet.
I talked to her a few times at Paisley park and she was nice
and down to earth!!

Can anyone understant the difference between guidence and control. There is a lot of learning involved in being in the public eye. easy 2 make a wrong move. i would rather have the guidance from someone who knows the music ,the image, and the business. I think Prince has done great at keeping it together.After the loss of a child he did an interview days after. Watchin his son die in pain.he held together great.

yes he DID do an interview... one that he boldly said the baby was
"FINE" and it was ALL good!!!
It was NOT all good.
It was almost like he thought he was ABOVE losing a child.
It can happen to ANY ONE.. even Prince.....

when he made that statement he could have meant that the baby was fine in Heaven. It really gets me how people try 2 read into everything this man say. Damn do u really know how he felt? Hell u don't know Prince other the what u have read and heard from others. If u did know him then u would'nt be guessing and talking dumb shit like with that dumb comment u just made. Oh by the way don't bother replying 2 my thread. U have said more than enough

lot's of couples split after a traumatic event.

Didn't the other thread just get locked for discussing his personal tragedy.
