Apollonia Kotero – Prince’s Purple Rain co-star was also allegedly his former lover. “My dear friends and family, thank you so much for your sentiments and prayers. The love you have shown for my dear friend Prince has been my support system. Your dedication to him is profound and beyond words. Please know that during these most difficult days I have spent my time with my close friend and media consultant Elliot Mintz. He has been my guide and guardian angel as I want to honor and continue to have the greatest respect for Prince and his preference for privacy. When I am ready and it’s appropriate I will share with you all that is in my heart and all that is my truth. Thank you for your love, understanding and patience heart emoticon You are everything 2 me,” Kotero shared in a heartfelt post on Facebook after news broke of Prince’s death.
