Bobby Brown met Houston in 1989 at the Soul Train Music Awards, according to The New York Post. The two started out as friends but soon fell in love with each other, and Brown proposed in 1991. In 1992, the two married and had their daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, one year later in 1993. What started off as a blissful relationship soon turned sour, and the couple's marriage was fraught with reports of substance use, infidelity, and even domestic violence. They divorced in 2007.
Outside of his relationship with Houston, Brown is known for his music career in the group "New Edition" and his solo work, which includes popular songs like "My Prerogative" and "Every Little Step."
