In late 1992, Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston were newlyweds, with daughter Bobbi Kristina on the way. Their marriage, and three-year-courtship, had been prime gossip column fodder: Brown had been the bad boy superstar who had risen from the Boston projects, Houston, six years his senior, was a glitzy, good girl diva on the rise, about to star in The Bodyguard. Her wedding dress alone had cost $40,000, and 800 people had been invited to see it.
Although the pair remained married for 15 years, their relationship was scarred by drug abuse, Brown’s repeated run-ins with the police and alleged domestic violence. In 2004, reality TV show Being Bobby Brown offered audiences a look into the Brown’s grisly domestic existence, which cemented Houston’s “diva” image. A messy divorce followed, in 2007.
