Through her management, Mayte released an exclusive statement to People Magazine saying, “I can’t even think of the words of what I’m feeling”, she continued, “This man was my everything, we had a family”. “Prince inspired me. He changed my life”, she told HollywoodLife.com.
The dancer got fascinated with the singer’s charm and her love for him started growing day by day. “He’s with our son now”.
But the child died shortly after he was born.
She revealed past year that she had a miscarriage not long after Boy Gregory’s death and losing two children eventually “broke” the pair.
The couple lost contact completely in 2011. “I think he was really looking forward to being a father”, Prince’s dancer Lindsley Allen, who worked with the 7-time Grammy victor from 1992 – 1997 on The World In A Day tour, shares with PEOPLE.
A year later in 2001, Prince married Testolini Nelson, a former employee at Prince’s charitable foundation. Prince achieved a lot of incredible milestones during his lifetime, but he also suffered one disgusting heartbreak – the death of his newborn son.
It was her decision to leave the singer and file for divorce in 2006, and he made no attempt to hide how hurt he was to lose his wife of five years.
As colorful as Prince was on the stage, he led a colorful romantic life, too. The two were rumoured to have dated between 1982 and 1983.
She would go on to have relationships with artists rockers Billy Idol and Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue before marrying football player Anthony Smith in 1995, one year after becoming a born-again Christian following an overdose of crack cocaine. The love for Prince was real, or, as many fans said, Prince’s death was what it “sounds like when the doves cry”, in a reference to his “When Doves Cry”.

In an interview with CNN today, the 65-year-old musician described Prince as “someone who allowed himself to be himself and encouraged others to be themselves”. The two were married in 1996 but had been together since 1990.
