BISHOP DON MAGIC JUAN has confirmed he’s dating JAMES BROWN’s widow-Tomi Rae Brown.

He says, “She says I’m the only one to make her cry and smile at the same time.”

Magic Juan admits the couple has been keeping their romance low-key because hew lawyers feared a relationship with a former hustler would not help her case in court.

“They won’t let us have it that way, and I understand.” Meanwhile, Brown admits she’s close to the Bishop but she has no plans to wed him. She explains, “I gave him a ring, but it was just a gift. As far as I’m concerned, I’m the Godmother of Soul and I have no intentions of being with anybody else.”
