Carmen Electra has revealed a surprising detail about her past relationship with Prince, saying the late music icon preferred her to sleep with a full face of makeup and false lashes during their romance in the 1990s. Electra shared the memory while attending the 33rd Annual Race to Erase MS Gala on June 5, describing Prince’s beauty preference as something she “was down for” at the time and says she followed for a long period of her life.
The actress and singer, now 54, contrasted that old routine with her current nighttime habits. She said she now prioritizes rest and skincare, explaining that she needs at least eight hours of sleep and washes off her makeup before bed. Electra also said she does not drink and is sober, adding that she uses a lot of skincare products and occasionally gets Botox.
Electra first met Prince when she auditioned for an all-girl group he was forming. Although she did not make the band, Prince recognized her potential and encouraged her to pursue a solo career. Their connection became both personal and professional, and Electra has previously spoken about the impact he had on her early career.
Along with reflecting on her relationship with Prince, Electra has recently discussed her experience in the Scary Movie franchise. She said someone helped her land the role at a time when others did not believe she could do it, highlighting another example of support early in her acting career.
Electra’s comments offer a rare personal glimpse into her relationship with one of music’s most iconic figures, while also showing how her views on beauty and self-care have changed over time.
