Now how did this get past most of us?!! Marvin Gaye’s daughter, Nona Gaye revealed that back in the day, she was dating an Old School R&B legend who is responsible for pumping out MANY R&B classics that many of us are still bumping today. Besides the fact that you won’t believe who she dated, what’s just as bad is how he basically “dumped” her and left her standing in the cold.
She was left heartbroken...
[Nona Gaye] discussed the relationship [with Prince], by saying "I never really knew him, and I never let him really know me. I tried to be this woman I thought he wanted - very passive, letting him lead. He told a friend of mine he was going to marry me and take care of me. I knew I wouldn't get anything better than that from him, so I believed it." "After that we were in New York, and he asked me to come see his show. Mayte, one of his dancers, flashed the engagement ring he'd given her from the stage. When I asked him about it afterwards, he was very evasive and defensive. I haven't spoken to him since. It upsets me that we ended things that way, because at one point he was really, really important to me."
