Re: why Manuela divorced Prince. Well. I believe that Mani and Eric first met while they were both married to other people. Eric and Halle Berry divorced in Jan 2005, but I believe they had been separated since 2003. Manuela filed for divorce from Prince in May 2006. It was confirmed that Mani and Eric were dating in 2007. In an interview in 2008 Eric said he met Mani at a charity event "about 2 years ago", which would be some time during 2006. In that interview he claims they became close friends very quickly, and then later started dating. However another source claims Eric and Mani actually met in 2004. Either way it seems likely to me that Eric and Manuela met and became friends before she decided to file for divorce from Prince. By all accounts Prince and Mani's marriage was having problems as early as 2003. It's not that uncommon for people to need a little 'motivation' to leave a marriage. Eric may have been the motivation. I don't have a shred of proof but I think it's plausible. That's all I'm saying.

Regardless, I don't like HER filing after SHE homewrecked on Mayte.

You make your bed and you effing lie in it. WTF Mani.

Manuela and Prince just did not seem to have much chemistry in my opinion.

Really? I love that.

According to Meltedman, Mayte has had the power for years to ruin Prince's life and get rich in the process but she is not going to do it.

Well this is an interesting comment. I wonder what he could have meant by that remark?

2 thoughts from the peanut gallery:

++Mayte and Mani can be friends because Mayte knew Mani had nothing to do with Prince abandoning her. It's still dog to marry a friend's ex but MT had nothing to do with the issues in their marriage.

++MT was only in it for the come-up anyway. Their marriage speaks to Prince's emotional distress after losing 2 children with MG and then his parents deaths all ranging from 96-2001. That's blow after blow to a person,whoever they are. That's why I think it's opportunistic on MT's part. I think the reason she didn't have kids with Prince is because she knew she wouldn't leave with them. Just like proper royalty, you can go but the kid stays with him.

++EB has always denied that he was a sex-addict. I'm inclined to believe him. Halle B is a crazy,hateful bitch. She'll say and do anything to drag her exes. Both MT and EB are second rate so in that way they are a good match.

++I don't believe MG has info that would cruch Prince/the legacy. That's why he married her to begin with. He was in total control and she was never a threat. She wasn't allowed to use the salon,or call him FFS! What could she possibly know if she weren't allowed even that much. Tour dirt? How lame. And remember she was on HWExes crying because she got nothing- no alimony nothing but "Bye girl!". She would have cashed in the chips if she had any,imo.

I agree with y'all . I have been watching tons of Youtubes and remembering a lot , and one thing that strikes me is that I never saw him look at another woman like he did Mayte , he seemed so much happier than I had ever seen him when things were good with them.He had a glow about him , his eyes sparkled. When they were on shows being interviewed, even when he was facing and speaking to the host he was always touching Mayte and if he moved his hands he was always reaching back to touch her , make sure she was by his side. She was his touchstone,when they would be walking off he always waited and took her by the hand .He was very tender and loving with her , no wonder she has had a hard time getting over him. As for Mayte , she looked at him with such adoration it was palpable . I think they were clearly very much in love . I almost feel that if Manuela had not been waiting in the wings they may have patched it up, but then there's the pesky little problem of Larry Graham and Mayte wasn't having it , and good for her for standing up for her own beliefs . I was once in a relationship with a man I thought was my Prince Charming. When a totally devastating event occurred in y personal life he was a total Dick about a lot of things at the beginning and said some very hurtful things to me that he later was sorry for and although I forgave him the damage had been done, Quite sure the talk of pregnant women using hair dye and nail polish felt like a dagger in her heart like the things my ex said during my life crisis. Perhaps that is one of the things she forgave him for, well, that and Manuella . I don't know what all went down , but I like some others here feel that if he had just been able to work it out with her he may be with us today . I have always thought that Prince just never seemed the same after the baby and the split with Mayte . That said, I'm not saying that he didn't have a love for Vanity, but I do feel he absolutely adored Mayte and she him.. That's just my two cents and what the heck do I really know about any of it , I just find it tragic.

excuse me what? Nail polish and hair dye?!? Oh no. That doesn't cause genetic defects. What a shit thing to say. I thought he was a genius wtf.

Actually, hair dye and certain types of nail polish can cause birth defects. We learned about those (and a few other things such as sushi and alchohol) that my wife had to avoid when she was pregnant.

i have heard that too, but in reality those things are negliable. the truth of it is that one of them (p or m)carried that gene and the baby died. to have you husband say that to you after such a loss would be devistating, as a woman. having healthy children is truly miracle noone should take for granted. and losing children is a one of the leading causes of divorce. it's not uncommon for men to blame women(for anything) but certainly for the lose of a child because we carry them. even though the genetic burden is shared equally.

Agree with everything you're saying. I'm a dad, and our 4-year old son is one of the most important things that ever happened to us. I cannot imagine life without him.

Guys,

Have you noticed over the years Prince was on friendly terms with almost all of his exes except "Mayte" right? This is one of the most logical reasons I can think of, "Mayte" was the one out of all the women in Prince life, whom shared a physical tie with him(the babies) and "Mayte" is the one out of all of his exes that caused him the most pain! "The Reminder", With that being said, as you know men and women are wired differently women can take more pain, heck even live in it (living in the past) just to remember the love you once had. Men, they must remove the pain from there hearts and minds at all cost, and will do anything to acheive this goal, he didn't want to hurt Mayte, but he needed to do this to save himself and his mental wellbeing-

Now, the way he did it could have been more sensitive, towards her, because she was and still in some ways very fragile minded person, but, she did survive it and kudos to her, because if that had of been me, Oh Lawd!! There would have been stalking, threats, and everything in the kitchen sink short of physcially hurting him. LOL

What is the 1st law of nature? Self-Preservation, and that is what Prince choose.

You know....normally, I wouldn't have thought too much about a comment like that. But from other posts I've seen here, it appears that Meltedman does know Mayte personally and is around her....maybe works for/with her or something of that nature? He commented not long ago in a thread re Mayte getting a Prince tattoo and did speak as though he knows what is happening with her. The mention of his name along with the poster's comment "According to Meltedman, Mayte has had the power for years to ruin Prince's life and get rich in the process but she is not going to do it" made me very curious as to what was meant by that. It's a provocative remark and I reacted.

I do hope that irresistiblebitch666 responds or perhaps Meltedman does and clarifies the meaning.

I don't believe that he was her soulmate at all. I think Denise Matthews was his soulmate. Mayte may have been a woman he loved but a soulmate doesn't necessarily mean that they were meant to be together.. just that they were linked in a way that nobody else was... soul mate and life partner are not one and the same.. Mayte may have been a potential life partner, if those deaths hadnt occurred. Denise was a woman he still had a torch for, for years. Regardless of what happened with him and Denise, he never seemed to cut her off, he kept a respectful distance out of respect for her. Mayte and him seemed to have cut ties and all that stuff about the refusal to give her tickets and the lack of communication, not to mention that he left the marriage and made sure to have it annulled so that he could marry Manuela.. that says a lot. Anulling a marriage is to basically erase it from your memory as in I'm done, I want this off the record. and Denise also represented the "one that got away"... his death on him was hard.. Maybe her death triggered a sentimentalism that was rare in that he demonstrated publicly how he felt about her and their time together was rough but sometimes it's the relationships that you went through hell and heaven in.. that impact on you the most, compared to the ones where it's generally sunny with a few dark clouds. Who knows how Prince felt toward Mayte concerning the deaths of those kids.. not saying she should ever feel that any of that was her fault.. but her method of coping could also have turned him off of her. whatever it is. I hope she finds the strength to move on after this loss. She may have been his first wife but i dont think she was his first true love nor was she the love of his life.. to me.

Also.. Manuela was also most like Denise - pretty and Canadian.. 5 years and he would have probably held on longer had she not divorced him whereas he chopped and diced Mayte without thinking twice about it.. He was public about being hurt when his wife divorced him yet not public about being hurt having to leave his marriage with Mayte..

Did Prince and Mayte ever try to get back together? Wo seeing also if they were on good terms?

.

Why don't you ask her? Drive on out to L.A. or wherever she's living, and go ask her. Because otherwise, it is just speculation. Nobody knows this other than them.

.

It's the same as asking "How many clouds will there be over Antarctica tomorrow?"

Dont diss Mayte cause she is obviously smarter than people give the girl credit for and I think she could do wonders with the estate and PP museum and the vault.

Irresistiblebitch666...my response to your previous comment is just above. I did not diss Mayte in any way and I'm not sure why you are implying I did? I asked a question about something you posted. Nothing more, so please don't diss ME.

Good question...
