Bobbi Kristina breaks engagement to Nick Gordon Bobbi Kristina Brown and her boyfriend Nick Gordon attend the premiere of the motion picture drama "Sparkle," at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in the Hollywood section of Los Angeles on August 16, 2012. LOS ANGELES, Nov. 28 (UPI) -- Bobbi Kristina Brown and Nick Gordon, who confirmed their engagement last month on a U.S. reality show, have broken up, UsMagazine.com said Wednesday. Brown, the 19-year-old daughter of late singer Whitney Houston and R&B artist Bobby Brown, appears with her family on Lifetime's "The Houstons: On Our Own." Gordon, 22, lived at Whitney Houston's house for years before she died last February. They did split. It will come out in the show," one insider told UsMagazine.com. "I think it has to do a lot with the family not liking Nick, considering he was a godson and then they became a couple," a second source said. I'm sure there is a lot of, 'Would Whitney be OK with this?' going around. Gordon took to Twitter to confirm the status of their relationship, saying: "[Bobbi Kristina] and I are not engaged or dating. Just close like we have always been.
