Why did Mayte and Prince break up?

Was he or she cheating? What's the reason behind the split? She said in an Interview the first years were Great but the last were Hell so what Happened? Was there ever any official explanation?

How can Larry Graham Break up Prince and Mayte? Prince Loved her. Are you saying she was Jealous or that he spent more time with Larry and she couldn't handle that?

Larry probably said 'leave her.' The great OZ has spoken. And so it was so

No,I can't believe that it was Larry. She obviously wasn't doing or acting the same. I used to feel so happy for him in 93,94,95 because he would be all smiles around Mayte. They looked Great together and I thought it was So Cute to see him in Love like that. Once she was away and he missed her so much and he was actually Hurting over missing her. She Controlled him so very Much and that was what Killed Him . So Sad. Then you could see in later Interviews he was Furious with Her. Truly Furious. Some Big Shit went Down for Sure cause he is now very Stiff,Upper Lip you Know. He doesn't need that Again Happening. Too many Bad Relationships,but these Women wanted Careers of Their Own. You saw the Change in Him and the Music. The Direction. It's Great you Know and I think he's Better than Ever and More Focused. I think the Mayte thing was crazy Sex and All this time it's more Professional and Grown-Up and it is Pulled Together Quite Well. Prince has a very Tight Band Here and a Stellar Sound. These are Great people working in Cohesion. Awesome. Really Digging on their Professionalism. Great Work on this ONA Live effort. Really.

she wanted to hang out and party.. be young..

he didn't. (that was reported)

he wants to make music and she would cry from being bored in the house all day/night.

also the whole baby thing was part of it too in my opinion.. Prince brought up a thing about her and her nail polish?? (does anyone remember this)

who knows.. but after seeing that tommy lee vh1 special.. anyone can tell she is a professional groupie.

she actually said without laughing that tommy's music was great (backstage at the tonight show) lol

Broken up?
When was this?
They said "Divorce" but they were still together
[Sarcasm]

The only thing i know is "Man O War"

"Why U Screamin'? U know im not a Man O War

Breakagold chain at me, throw it down on the floor"

Sounds like she always put on a hissy fit, probably because she wanted to be a singer/star.

I also think he didn't like her "Studio re-hab" because in later interviews, Prince has said things to the effect of "u can't stop the gift that God has given u" type of thing, I think that was a big dig at her.

We should be talking about music though, leave this matter dead & buried.
Think of "Morning Papers" - "Should we ask the ones who Speculate, when they don't know what it's made of"

Think about that, and Prince and Mayte. Letitgo and let his (new) vibe just flow!

Check out the hint in the TGRES video.
During the sentence 'the real reason that Adam never left Eve' your see apregnant womans belly.
They DID split up, so could be that the whole baby thing had more impact than we can imagine...

Apparently he shagged Rhonda, Mayte found out and started shagging around herself. Prince - ever the male chauvinist - then wrote "Eye love U But Eye Don't Trust U Anymore" about it.

I think those r the reasons 2 plus I think religion played a part in it. Prince became interested in JW and I'm sure Mayte is Catholic and wasn't going 2 give it up.

But sense we're gossiping.

1) I never liked the hussy. We all know that it should have been me getting married to Prince. Anyway, there were the blurbs of Mayte and him having some raw moments in the night clubs.

2) Mayte seemed to have caused prince great grief. Check: I can't make you love me, Right back here in my arms, Somebody’s Somebody, Until you're in my arms again, Wasted Kisses. There is I hate you, I love you but don't trust you anymore, and Man o' War was the "you've broken my heart for the last time." The particular songs I've mention have entirely too much emotion to just "be a song".

3) Yet, I was devastated when I learned the baby had died. Prince spoke three-fold of how enraptured he was with becoming a father. You could see it in the Betcha by Golly Wow video. You just knew through his silence he was changed when the child died. Perhaps that is the true reason for the JW conversion. Perhaps he feels the death of the innocent was due to his "lustful" (for lack of a better term) ways.

Man, sometimes I forget how human he is...

She was a teenager when she got involved with Prince, who was, by then over 30. Ag

1. The death of the baby.
That apparently opened up a pandoras box which probably led to..

2. Infedelity
On both parties questioning young Mayte's youthful parting with fellow models etc.

3. Religious Exploration
It seems that prince needed some closure to his recent tragedy. Jehovahs Witnesses have a theory about death and something called ressurection. This probably gave prince alot of hope and helped him cope. Mayte might not have agreed.

4. Question of Maturity
Around the time the two met Prince was somewhat a "bad boy" type. Once married he seemed to calm down a great deal (From clubbing to staying at home). He probably expected the same transistion from Mayte but unforunately that didn't happen.

If you've seen the press conference in NYC on May of 2000 it seems that Prince was shaken up about the breakup. When a journalist asked about it he seemed as if he was trying very hard to hold his composure and he started to stammer his words.

I feel sorry for both of them because it seems that the marriage was a horrible emotional rollercoaster from the beginning. cry
