Sheila E. dating history
Sheila E.’s dating history is as dynamic as her career, marked by relationships with some of music’s biggest legends. Here are all the details.
Prince – One of the most notable relationships that Sheila E. has had was with Prince, whom she reportedly met in the late 1970s. Their connection began professionally, with Sheila E. contributing backing vocals to Prince’s hit “Purple Rain” and later opening for his Purple Rain tour. Despite her initial reluctance to mix work with romance, the drummer found herself deeply drawn to Prince.
However, their relationship was complicated by the pop legend’s alleged involvement with other women. This ultimately led Sheila E. to reconsider their future together. Although they parted ways romantically, their musical collaboration continued until a few years before Prince’s passing in 2016 (via The Mirror).
Carlos Santana – Another significant relationship in Sheila E.’s life was with Carlos Santana, a romance she kept private for many years. In her memoir The Beat of My Own Drum, the drummer revealed that she and Santana were almost engaged when she was just 18, despite the fact that the guitarist was married at the time (via BET).
