The rock star's second missus, Manuela Testolini Nelson, filed for

There have been rumblings about the state of this marriage since
last year. Because of rumors that they were not together and not
getting along, around the time of Prince's "Saturday Night Live"
performance with protege of the second Tamar, I made a joke on FOX9.
I asked viewers whether Prince danced like a man who had hip
replacement surgery or a man who was still married.
The speculation about whether Prince and Manuela were actually
married began at the beginning. As some may recall, Prince kicked
Mayte to the curb, by reportedly saying they didn't need a contract
as the framework for their relationship.
Mayte and Prince wedded on Valentine's Day 1996.
Since it took the genius, Minnesota-born rock legend a few years to
realize his disdain for a marital contract, there was reason to
doubt that he and Manuela had a legal union. But they must have,
since she's filed for divorce.
Many thanks to the anonymous tipster who found me in the office late
Tuesday and said: "You need to find out why Judge Manrique is
holding up the Prince divorce papers. You need to do some research
so we can see what's going on there."
I have it on excellent authority that Judge Tanja Manrique thinks
this gossip columnist would be critical of her for sealing a divorce
file. While I await a phone call from the judge regarding this info,
I can tell her that she's just plain ill-informed, dead wrong about
this.
Never have I written a critical word about a judge sealing a divorce
file, and I won't start today.
We all have a general idea about Symbolina's worth, so who needs
more details? Attorney Winer is probably going to make sure that
Manuela doesn't starve. And the record on Prince, who I think has
written a song about how she just liked him for whom he is, should
be a great help. Given the record on what a purple pain Prince can
be publicly, we can all just image how much more entertaining he is
in private and wish Manuela well.
