LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- Veteran funk rocker Prince and his second wife are ending their marriage, People magazine reported Wednesday.
The celebrity magazine cited Prince's lawyer, Alan Eidsness, as saying a sealed divorce action was filed on May 24 at Hennepin County District Court in the Prince's home state of Minnesota.
The 48-year-old singer (born Prince Rogers Nelson) and 29-year-old Manuela Testolini were married in a Jehovah's Witness ceremony in Hawaii on December 31, 2001.
The Toronto native used to work at Prince's charitable foundation. The couple had no children together.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, famed for such genre-bending tunes as "Let's Go Crazy" and "1999," was briefly married to backup singer and dancer Mayte Garcia in the mid-1990s.
Their union was later annulled. They had a child who died shortly after birth.
The publicist for Prince's record label was not immediately available to comment.
