I like her..

I'm not sure that's a reliable source, considering they refer to Sheila as Black!

Looks like another beard to me.

And since when was Sheila E a "sista"?

The Black community has ALWAYS considered Sheila E...a Sista!

U C the look she gave him on top of the piano?

So does this mean no more Bria Valente albums? Or is he going to do the Hef thing and start collecting younger girlfriends?

I believe she is part Black through her mother's side, where I've read her mother is of Creole heritage (French/Black) and her father is Mexican American. I don't think too many fans are aware of that.

I believe she is African-American, Mexican and Creole heritage. I don't think too many fans are aware of that.

Well no one's shouting it from the rooftops (nor should they/shouldn't they).

Off the top of my head I can think of at least 5 or 6 black women Prince has worked with since Sheila E - But I suppose this article isn't about facts is it

Hell, not too many of them are aware Prince is Black. Oops, did I just spill the beans? Sorry, Prince! My bad!

The article doesn't say anything about the Black women Prince has worked with since Sheila E. It said, "...girlfriend..." Though that's still factually inaccurate.

A shock to the senses for many in here.

They stole those pics from the ABT website and Misty's official website .

I'll be surprised if this shock is really the truth

Yeah - I'd say this "journalist" took a big leap from the 2 of them working together and attending a work-related event together...to being in a relationship.

If that is the case, then I'd have a stack of boyfriends, too! And dammit none of them gave me a valentine!

Although - the Misty rumor has been going around the org for a while now, so it must be true, right?

Prince is hot and all that - the stuff of dreams, even - but if it's true I'm kinda like, "Huh, Misty?" because there's a lot of hot male ballet dancers.

She should've gotten to Benjamin Millipied before Natalie Portman did ; or asked out Ethan Stiefel...or Sascha Radetsky *hears harps*.

Although, now that I think about it....I think those two are married...

& we wonder why Prince is super-private

True.

MTO should not be used as a source, lol....

mhm,, for me Misty looks like Mayte. A little bit. Just look at the photo

It means a Misty Copeland album.

Ok, we all know that the media is all about speculations. And I agree with several of the post above that mentioned how factually flawed this article is. Whoever Prince is with is whoever he is with. So what. She is a pretty girl and she does favor Mayte. Ok, I can see them as a couple, but seeing them together doesn't make them a couple. In spite of everything and everyone, he is entitled to keep his private life...private.
