    I feel that they really loved and cared about each other. U can hear it in her voice, so sincere. It nice to hear from people who knew him but, also truly loved and cared for him. U can hear that in Nona's voice even after their bad break-up and after all of these years.

      Laketra Hardin He was her first & she was really in love but.....along came Mayte & Prince dated both of them for awhile then it ended with Nona when Mayte got pregnant & flashed her engagement ring. He wasn't exclusive with anybody, not even Sheila or Vanity. Prince was partly enamored with her because of her being Marvin's daughter.

      Or, because they really loved him, and that they learned a lot from him, ultimately inspired them...making it about sex and that he must have gave it to them good is disgusting and a bit degrading. Plus people whom left him have said the same things. This isn't one side.

    I feel with you, Nona. I didn't know Prince on a personal level like you, but I still feel I know him, because when I struggled in my life I can always find a song from him that make me relate to him. I'm convinced that he knew exactly how I felt. I've always had Prince in my life - both in good and in bad times and he always lifted my spirit when I needed to. I'm so sad that he died all alone, I actually think he felt lonely and depressed (like me), but I learned that it was OK to be a kook. I will always love n' miss him. 4ever in my life 💜💜💜💜💜💜❤️

    @naligsEkr 5 лет назад +4

    Nona- I rarely feel such deep empathy as I do for you. It is very rare that a couple splits + are able to describe their then partner, years later, the way you just did.
    The average person is lucky to find “one” person, in their lifetime, where their love really does last til one physically passes on.
    But I feel that Prince had a problem with going beyond a certain level of intimacy where one commits to another- to trust them enough to expose a deeper part of him + trust the other to not abandon, accept, + truly love him for the man Prince vs the “star” Prince.
    I think, initially, being able to relive that amazing feeling of meeting + getting to know so many women up to a point but dealing with the hurt of starting to love them was softened by the next relationship.
    I think in the end he must have wished he’d have been able to overcome the problem + have some with him who, over the years, REALLY knew him + they were happy together. I think he would have been “repaid” for the gifts he gave us, his music, with a peace + a healing of emotional pain from his early life.
    You + he - I wish I could turn back time.
    My condolences to you + deep respect.

    I first met Nona-via my girlfriend-Nona's mother-Marvin's widow back when she was 14. I've known the family since then and have been part of good and bad times. This obviously falls under the "bad times." Poor Nona-had to first deal with the murder of her father (by her grandfather) and then lose another man she loved. BTW, Nona starting dating Prince when she was 17. Her mom starting dating Marvin when she was 17 and Marvin was (just about) 17 years older than her. And, Marvin first wife (Barry Gordy's sister) was 17 years older than Marvin when they were married.

    • @sonyaphillips4027

      I heard that girl! Mayte and Manuel both were just two satanic gold diggers, he would have did better marrying Nona or Vanity I believe they truly cared about Prince for more than just his coins. Mayte and her family started working on Prince when she was sixteen, they start their daughters out early grooming her up for Prince to marry, she said that's when they met but they waited until she was older to get married and she always knew she was going to marrying him. They had their eyes on Prince money all alone that was the plan, they had ulterior motives that was the prize Prince estate and for Prince it was Mayte(at that's what they wanted him to think)she is no prize he would find out. Just like the song he sings everything that glitters ain't gold, smile in your face stab you in the back, every smile is not real just as fake as a two dollar bill. I mean really to be as low as to sell Prince clothes in a garage sale, I would not have sold them at all but if you going to do it at least go to a museum, Hollywood hall of fame, charity donation or something of his caliber with dignity that's going to benefit the general public and his legacy. This is what happens when you be with people that never cared for you, that don't value you or your things and don't take great measures to preserve your memory

    I believe the account was that he did not tell her in advance, but she found out after seeing Mayte ring. However, we all know Mayte got pregnant to trap him. They got married on Feb. 14th & their son was,born 10/16...You do the,math. The story she told in her book was a lie. Still, both ladies were young & competing (he was 38 in 1996 & they were 22). Think about it. This was 12 years after Purple Rain Mega Stardom had already been achieved & cemented. He had become an Icon but not yet fully matured into the man he later became. It was fascinating to see him grow as a Man. Still, they agreed to the competition & knew not to rock HIS boat or theyd be dismissed AND it was far from the only time he had multiple women at the same time. Even Sheila said he was dating Susannah behind her back & Sheila didn't initially know because of her living in LA. Anyway, Prince grew up. I'm glad Nona really loved him & only spoke well of him. None of them knew him after he Matured except Andy Allo. She's great, accomplished & has a Great spirit. I hope she continues to do well. She loved him & learned a lot.

      Goodness! . Lol. Prince picked Mayte from the time she was 16. From HIS lips, in an interview he said he saw her in line with her mother and told someone that was going to be his future wife - and he made it happen. He just waited for Mayte to grow up. It wasnt necessary for her to "trap" him.

    I agree with Nona, Prince was a very funny man and that's pretty much how we met. He was also so very private and that's another reason I kept our short relationship quiet. There's 2 regrets I have, one of them is not moving to Minnesota with him when he begged me to, and the other is not telling him a secret between us that would have changed our lives, but I didn't tell and can't because I respect him too much. It's a long story that I can only share with him. It's nothing bad but rather the opposite and would have made him the happiest he'd ever been. I'm sure he knows now that he's on the other side but I should have told him earlier. He's such a special person but he's also just like all of us and just wanted to be loved and not used for what people could get from him like money, careers, fame, notoriety, etc. He is a human being just like the rest of us and that's why we connected so well, because I wanted nothing from him and still don't and that's another reason I haven't said anything because I don't want anyone to think I'm being a gold digger or any such thing.

      +Nona I want to thank you for talking with me and I think it's great to finally talk to someone who also actually knew Prince. I didn't tell a lot of people but my close friends. One of my friends was with me at the time I first met him. He was the one that actually followed me around and pulled a couple little pranks before he decided to actually say Hi to me. We had a lot of private discussions and talked about our childhoods and we were amazed at how much ours were the same. He taught himself guitar and piano when he was not allowed out of his room/house and the same thing happened to me and I taught myself the flute using a friend's and then my own once my parents finally gave in and bought me one. I really wish I had moved to Minnesota with him when he begged me to, but I didn't and that's the biggest regret I have. The 2nd is the information that I have that might have changed our lives but I didn't tell him and now I'm dealing with it and there's nothing I can do but tell the people involved and deal with the anger and hurt I have caused. I should have just told everyone in the first place.

I didn't say it to be mean to him but at the time I just couldn't, now I wish I had. He was a great man and friend and I miss him a lot as do all of his family, friends, and fans. He made a huge impression on my life and I just wish I could have been there for him when he really needed a friend and needed help. If you don't believe me then that's your choice but he really did ask me many times to go to Minnesota with him.
