Eric Bent is married to Manuela Testolini, the prince’s ex-wife. They’ve been together for over a decade and are still going strong.

Eric Benét is an R&B/neo soul singer-songwriter and actor from the United States who has won four Grammy nominations for his musical work to date.

In the late 1980s, Benét was a member of Gerard, a Top 100-style group. Benét, his sister Lisa, and his cousin George Nash Jr. founded the Benét band in 1992 and published a self-titled album that sold over 100,000 copies.

Who Is Eric Benet Wife? Meet Manuela Testolini

Manuela and Eric have been married for ten years (since 2011). Six years after Eric and Halle divorced in 2005, and five years after Manuela and Prince split in 2006, they married.

Eric Benet ‘fell in love’ with the woman who appears to have a generous heart after they met in a Los Angeles pub. When Eric began seeing Manuela Testolini, his now-wife, he believed he’d discovered his soulmate, which he obviously did.

It’s unknown when Manuela and Eric started dating, but we do know it was while Manuela was going through divorce proceedings with her then-husband, Prince.

In a previous interview with Van Lathan’s “The Red Pill” podcast, Eric Benet confirmed this. He had no idea who he was dating for at least the first two months of his connection with Manuela; it turns out.

Eric Benet must be ecstatic that his ‘Prince moment’ has gone full circle. Eric has an older daughter from a previous marriage, and he and his wife now have two beautiful young daughters together.

Manuela continues to work with the humanitarian foundations of her late ex-husband, Prince. She has also established a school in Africa in his honor.
