Prince and Hollywood actress Kim Basinger were deeply involved in a romantic relationship back in 1989, as revealed in a new book about Prince’s life. They met on the set of “Batman,” where Kim was starring as Vicki Vale. Prince, known for hits like “1999” and “Purple Rain,” wooed Kim by sending her a cassette of his music. Their whirlwind romance led to Kim relocating to Minneapolis to be closer to Prince.
They were inseparable, with Kim rarely leaving Prince’s side except to accompany him to the studio. Despite the lavish gestures, such as booking the best suite at a luxury hotel, Kim preferred the comfort of Prince’s home. Their bond was evident to those around them, with Prince’s assistant describing them as a couple deeply in love.
As their relationship blossomed, Kim became more involved in Prince’s life, even collaborating on music projects with him. However, their fairy-tale romance came to an abrupt end when Prince backed out of their plans for the future. Despite the breakup, Kim remained tight-lipped about their time together.
Prince’s romantic history was marked by several high-profile relationships, including marriages to Mayte Garcia and Manuela Testolini. Kim’s brief but intense romance with Prince stands out as a surreal chapter in his love life, characterized by a pattern of attracting and moving on to new muses. Prince’s quest for a partner to share his music with was constant, always evolving with each new chapter.
