Bobbi Kristina's husband has been placed at the center of a heart-breaking situation when Whitney Houston's daughter was found unresponsive last weekend. His name has been part of headlines and news covering the developing story of Bobbi Kristina's ordeal. But who is Nick Gordon? Here are the top 5 things many people don't know about him.
1. Bobbi Kristina's husband is also her brother. Sort of. Nick Gordon was actually the boy Whitney Houston took in back when he was still 12-year-old. He was even part of the reality series "The Houstons: On Our Own" and had lived with the late songstress before her death in February 2012, People has learned.
The twosome began dating shortly after Whitney's death and in 2013, amid harsh comments that she is dating her brother, Bobbi Kristina took to Facebook to defend herself, writing: "I'm tired of hearing people say, 'Eww you're engaged to your brother or if Whitney was still alive would we be together or would she approve of this.' Let me clear up something. We aren't even real brother and sister, nor is he my adoptive brother."
2. Bobbi Kristina's husband isn't legally her hubby. While back in 2014, Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown's daughter shared on social media that she had married Gordon, her father has slammed the idea recently when he revealed that there was never a wedding between the two.
"To correct earlier reports, Bobbi Kristina is not and has never been married to Nick Gordon," Bobby said through legal counsel Christopher Brown of Brown & Rosen LLC.
3. In spite of not being legitimately married, Bobbi Kristina's husband has been very loyal to her for the past three years since they started dating. Not only that, the couple had been trying for a baby in the recent weeks before Bobbi was found unconscious in her bathtub, reports Hollywood Life.
"My husband and I are trying now," Kristina was quoted saying. "I'm 21 years old and will be 22 March 4. Living on my own with MY husband and working my a** off in the studio and acting and doing as my mother taught me to do, is be a young women [sic]. She would want me to be independent."
4. Bobbi Kristina's family does not approve her romance with Nick Gordon. Whitney Houston's sister-in-law, Pat Houston, even openly said last year that "it just don't sit right with me" during her appearance on Oprah Winfrey's "Where Are They Now."
"I always looked at them as being, you know, the brother-and-sister type. I just did not see the relationship moving in that direction. ... [Bobbi Kristina] had to endure many, many things. ... I can only continue to be the auntie that I am, and that's try to love her, try to give her the right advice," she added at the time.
5. Bobbi Kristina's husband has been arrested before and even had a restraining order from seeing Pat Houston. According to ABC News, Gordon got arrested back in August 2014 over suspicion of DUI and using a suspended license. In 2012, he was also accused of reckless driving and speeding.
In March of last year, Pat Houston even filed for a restraining order against Gordon, noting that Bobbi Kristina's husband is not pleased with how she controls Whitney Houston's estate. Court documents even revealed that Nick had "made threatening comments and posted photos of guns with the intention of making petitioner fearful for her personal safety. Respondent then posted more photos of guns later and has sent harassing texts."
