Yep ILOSM family, it’s the one and only Prince.

According to Esquire magazine and Contact Music, Nona Gaye revealed that she became involved with R&B Prince while they were recording a few songs together after the release of her first album and then it blossomed into a long-term 3 YEAR relationship:

[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.”

Wow, it would have been interesting to see these two stay together and maybe even create some lil’ Gaye/Prince offspring. I know one thing- those babies would have been some of the most soulful kids on the planet! Too bad that didn’t work out.
