Bobbi Kristina Brown isn’t letting her family’s drama get in
the way of her happiness. Whitney Houston’s daughter is said to be
engaged to her “adopted brother” Nick Gordon, Us Weekly reports.
Brown,
19, was recently photographed in Atlanta holding hands and kissing
Gordon, the 22-year-old man whom Houston took in 10 years ago after his
mother was unable to care for him. According to the magazine, Brown has
been wearing a sizeable diamond engagement ring that was once worn by
her mother.
"The situation is beyond sad," a source told Us. "Whitney never
formally adopted Nick, but he lived with her and Bobbi Kristina from the
age of 12 and they were raised like brother and sister. Nick came from a
really bad background." In addition to their alleged plans to wed, the
couple is reportedly living together in one of Houston’s Atlanta
properties. "Bobbi Kristina is still so vulnerable since her mother
passed away," the source
added. "But Nick has become like her rock." Not
surprisingly, Brown’s family is said to be “really upset” about the
young couple’s blossoming romance.
Namely, Houston’s mother has
voiced her disapproval. A friend of Cissy Houston told TMZ that the
family matriarch said "what they're doing is incestuous." She is
reportedly afraid Gordon is a bad influence on Brown, and wants him
evicted. After rumors that the two are dating surfaced earlier this
month, Gordon took to Twitter to slam haters. "Yea we got a little
closer and what!" he wrote. He later added, “For the stupid ppl out
there, she gave birth to 1 child. And she trusted me with Everything!”
On Wednesday, Gordon told ABCNews.com that he and Brown are "just close -
just going through her mom's passing and grieving together."
During
her interview with Oprah Winfrey on last Sunday’s “Oprah: The Next
Chapter,” Brown was seen wearing the alleged engagement ring as she
spoke about her famous mother’s passing. "I'm doing as good as I
possibly can at this point. I'm just trying to keep going," she said. "I
can sing her music, but to hear it now, I can't. I can hear her voice
telling me, 'Keep moving, baby. I got you.' She's always with me. I can
always feel her with me. She used to always say, 'Do you need me?' And I
said, 'I always need you.'"
