I knew that 40 years ago, everyone knew. When she told me, I couldn’t do anything else. I just loved her the way she is

– Radar Online quoted his words. As reported by foreign media, most likely Houston’s husband, who was morbidly jealous of his wife, also knew about the affair. It was Bobby Brown who was supposed to break off contact between them. According to some sources, Whitney married Bobby to suppress rumors of an affair.

“Whitney felt she had to hush up the rumors of a lesbian affair. Because she was America’s beloved girl, it didn’t fit her image very well (…) In Whitney’s situation, the only solution was to get married and have children. This killed all speculation, regardless whether they were real or not,” wrote Derrick Handspike in Bobby Brown’s biography.
