Prince has been on a string of secret dates with Delilah.
The ‘Purple Rain’ singer is reportedly ”smitten” with the 23-year-old British singer and the pair have been spending more time together in recent months.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: ”Delilah is talented and gorgeous and it’s little wonder Prince is so smitten with her. They have always been close but things have moved on recently.”
Delilah was spotted among a host of stars to who watched Prince perform with is band 3RDEYEGIRL at Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club in London on Monday night (02.17.14), but a representative for the ‘Raspberry Beret’ hitmaker insists there is no romance between the pair and Delilah is close with all members of the band.
A spokesman for Prince, 55, added: ”Delilah is a friend of everyone in the band and everyone loves spending time with her.”
Prince – who has been divorced twice – met Delilah after discovering a video she shared on YouTube, and the pair reportedly grew close when he invited her to support him on tour in Australia two years ago.
Delilah – real name Paloma Stoeker – first spoke about her friendship with the star in 2012.
She said: ”Prince called and said he was a fan of my work and invited me on tour. It was amazing.”
Describing the iconic singer as ”perfectly down to earth” she added: ”We hung out together. He’s a lovely person and we get along.”
