Wait - she's marrying her (adopted) brother?!?

Allegedly. Thing is Whitney didn't even adopt him legally.

At least those kids are definitely not family blood relative. But still, the whole romantic relationship does has an incestuous vibe to an extent.

Did she grow up with him? How long was he in the family?

It was long enough for the two to love each other like siblings.........at first.

Nick Gordon (born c. 1990) is the boyfriend of Bobbi Kristina Brown. Whitney Houston referred to him as her "godson" before her death in 2012. He began living with Houston and her daughter when he was about 12 years old.

If they are 1.) not blood siblings 2.) not adopted siblings 3.) don't have a brother sister relationship, then I don't see what the problem is

No, it doesn't.

In your opinion, are you implying that it's a good idea to have romantic relations with your mother's "godson" that was intended to be your "adopted brother" at first?

I am not implying, I am stating that having a relationship with someone that is NOT a blood relative does not have have an air of incest. It's not incest, period.

sure it's weird but it has nothing to do with incest...

I'd also have nothing to do with it but we're talking about a new type of people who exist in an isolated strata of extraordinary wealth and insulation from regular folks. The uber-rich and their fellows have so little to do with us wage-earners...

As long as he wasn't legally adopted, it's whatever. I just hope it works out for the best but knowing her crazy aunt-in-law, I don't know...

i admit that i'm a little "squiked out" by it, too.

no, looking it literally, it isn't incest because they're not related. but to me, it's almost like saying the couple who have lived together as man and wife aren't to be considered a couple if they never got married legally. i don't know of many people who wouldn't extend the couple the benefit of doubt and honor that relationship just b/c they don't have a piece of government sanctioned paper.

likewise, this kid was in whitney's house, being raised side-by-side with bobbi by her mother, and treated like a son. is bobbi trying to get people to believe that she didn't once, in all those years, consider this young man a brother? 'cause i don't believe that. and i don't believe that if whitney were alive, this romantic relationship would be going on.

THAT^ is why I said in the earlier post (although Erin & Timmy may still disagree with me) that the relationship does have an incesteous vibe, even though Bobbi and Nick are definitely not family blood relative.

Write it off as an opinion if anyone dares to do so. But I still stand by my words.

So if he was never adopted and is not a relation in any way, what's the big deal? (Other than she's probably batshit crazy, but she's gonna be batshit crazy no matter who she marries, which leads me back to my original question.)

I'm just asking because I have no idea who this dude is and I really don't give a damn enough to google this.

Yeah, I don't why this is so bad.

Whitney's family was highly dysfunctional. And now we can see. But I don't see it being really bad either. Woody Allen still takes the cake on the creepy factor of marriage. Isn't Morgan Freeman engaged to his ex step grand daughter? Dysfunction thrives in showbiz, I guess.

If they used to "play doctor" when he was age 12, well........

then they definately never saw each other as brother & sister

hey Marsha & Greg never saw each other as brother & sister ...

1.) I don't think that compares, wheither 2 people were legally married or just living together can't be compared 2 the kids who would come into that situation (of no choice of their own) the 2 people legally or no together 1.) chose to be together 2.) chose to be a couple 3.) as a result are romantically & sexually attracted

If Bobbi and the god-son don't see themselves as brother and sister no matter how they are raised doesn't make them brother and sister. It happens all the time in blended families
