8 Facts You Should Know about Bobbi Kristina

3. Was Nick Gordon Her Brother?

Many speculate that Nick Gordon was adopted by Whitney Houston. However he was a close family friend who was invited to live in the Houston household when he was 12-years-old. Bobbi Kristina was 9 at the time. Brown had often referred to Gordon as her “big brother,” so when they began dating in 2012, Brown’s grandmother, Cissy Houston, called the relationship “incestuous.” The pair became engaged in 2013, and the young couple supposedly married in February 2014. But Bobby Brown’s lawyer said in a statement in early 2015 that Bobbie Kristina “is not and has never been married to Nick Gordon.” Sadly, like Bobby and Whitney, Gordon and Brown had a history of domestic violence and drug use throughout their relationship. Many friends claim their relationship was destructive and unhealthy.
