The two became close friends after meeting when Apollonia went in for her romantic lead role in 'Purple Rain', and remained so until his death, according to People.

"He was very gentle and very shy. I remember he had spaghetti. And I never knew in that moment that my odyssey with Prince would last a lifetime," she informed said about him.

"We were family. We trusted each other. I had a little mini crush one time. He was performing 'Computer Blue' and he was oily and shirtless and for a moment I was like, 'He's really sexy,' but then I got myself together. We had great chemistry. But our romance was only onscreen," she added.
