I spotted this Gorg pregnancy portrait of the very handsome R&B crooner Eric Benet and his very striking expecting wife Manuela Testolini over on BlackCelebKids.com. Manuela likes her Rock stars. She was once married to Prince.
This will be her first but Benet’s second child. His 18-year old daughter India is a sophomore at college. Many recall the contentious battle over India following his and ex-wife Halle Berry’s bitter divorce. Berry claimed that Benet cheated on her constantly. He claimed to be a sex addict and that Halle stopped communicating with India after the divorce.
He told Essence.com, “With India I was the young, cool daddy. Now I’m going to be that old daddy.”
He and his new wife only married this July this year and could barely spend time together because he was off on tour in Asia and then Australia, he told the magazine.
“It’s difficult being apart, but it’s been great when we’ve been together,” she said. “Manuela and I have the rest of our lives”
Check out Manuela’s cute bump photo below where she appears about 6 months pregnant at the “Never Again” Peace Concert held on November 1, 2011 in Universal City, California.
Yeah, this screams “shotgun wedding” a little but whatever, they look great together and will have a very very pretty baby. Hope he’s gotten treatment for that pesky sex addiction problem. heh.
