 Although his latest album, 3121, hit a home run, Prince, 48, has struck out again in the marriage department.According to People magazine, Prince's wife, 29 year-old Manuela Testolini Nelson filed for a divorce on May 24 in the artist's home state of Minnesota. "His wife filed for divorce. This isn’t something that he wanted," said Prince's lawyer, Patrick Cousins. "There isn't anything else. He didn't counter sue. He is just trying to get it resolved.” The couple were married for five years and have no children together.
Prince, full name Prince Rogers Nelson, met his soon to be ex-wife when she was an employee of his charitable foundation.
"Deciding to end the marriage was a very difficult decision for Ms. Nelson," says her attorney, Edward Winer. "She is seeking a cooperative resolution of this case and hopes the proceeding will be resolved quickly and respectfully. Ms. Nelson continues to be focused on her charitable work and her business, which remain her top priority." |
