Heartbreaking: Prince's Ex-Wife Breaks Her Silence

She talks their son, who died at only one week old.

We are all mouring the passing of the legendary Prince who passed away this morning. Now, his ex-wife, Mayte Garcia, released a statement and it's heartbreaking.
She told People.com, "I can't even think of the words of what I'm feeling. This man was my everything, we had a family. I am beyond deeply saddened and devastated." She added, "I loved him then, I love him now and will love him eternally. He's with our son now." 

Prince and Mayte had a son, Gregory, in 1996, but he passed away after a week due to Pfeiffer syndrome. They married in 1996 and divorced in 2000.
Our thoughts go out to Prince's family, friends and fans.
