Prince's wife files for divorce


Jul. 28, 2006. 06:36 AM

MINNEAPOLIS — Prince's second wife, Manuela Testolini Nelson, has filed for divorce from the pop superstar, his lawyer has confirmed. Patrick Cousins, Prince's general counsel, said Wednesday the case was pending. He had no further comment. Edward Winer, lawyer for Nelson, issued a statement Thursday saying it was a difficult decision for his client to seek the divorce and that she hoped for a "co-operative resolution" and a quick end to the case. The Star Tribune reported on its web editions Wednesday that the case was filed May 24. A court administrator told the AP the case was sealed on July 11. Prince, 48, has rarely spoken publicly about his marriage to Nelson, who was born and raised in Toronto. The couple lived part-time there. Prince married dancer Mayte Garcia in 1996; that union ended in 1998. The singer was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004. He recently closed his NPG Music Club website, surprising many fans.

I've driven past his house a few times. He has a heated driveway. Exotic!

I read somewhere that you think Prince is hot. So congrats to you. Now you can drool over his pics without the guilt.

I was just going to say, ash must be thrilled....as she clearly seems to be.

However, with Lance having just come out, watch the reason prince and his wife are getting divorced because he has also decided to come out.....

Does it matter if Prince is gay or married? Ashley wouldn't have a chance with him even if he was the straightest singlest guy in the world and she was the last gal on earth - unless - unless - he's also a chubby chaser!

His house in T.O. is also lovely (although heated driveways are not all that uncommon here - for practical reasons). I don't suppose he'll be keeping the house for long, maybe his wife will get it in the divorce. Time for one last pilgrimage Miss Ash.
