Bobbi Kristina Brown has reportedly taken her controversial relationship with her “adopted brother” to a more serious stage after she stepped out wearing a large diamond engagement ring.

But her rep has stepped in saying: “‘Bobbi Kristina is not engaged. She is simply wearing her mother’s ring.”

Just weeks after her mother’s death, Bobbi Kristina and her “adopted brother” Nick Gordon, were spotted hand in hand with Star magazine reporting that the pair became engaged on March 10.

But not everyone is happy for them, with Bobbi Kristina’s grandmother Cissy Houston labeling their relationship ‘incestuous’.

“Krissy has told her grandmother that she doesn’t need her blessing to marry Nick, and the more Cissy objects to the relationship, well that only cements Krissy’s decision,” an unnamed source told the magazine.

“It’s just a very sad situation. Clearly, Krissy loves Nick, but she has just lost her mother, and her entire world has been turned upside down.

“Krissy doesn’t think she needs to wait, and points to her mom’s sudden death as the reason to marry Nick.”

Friends close to Bobbi Kristina have also voiced their concerns that Nick is taking advantage of her while she is most vulnerable.

“Everyone is worried that Nick is looking to take advantage of Krissy,” a friend told Star.

Nick has been part of the Houston family since he was 12-years-old after Whitney took him into her home when his father was sent to jail and his mother was unable to care for him.

Although Nick was never formally adopted by Whitney, he and Bobbi Kristina were raised as brother and sister.

The pair has been spotted out together on numerous occasions recently, holding hands while running errands and both are currently living in Houston’s $1.2million Atlanta home which she left to Bobbi Kristina.

Isolated and raising three young children virtually alone while her famous husband tries to resurrect his tennis career, a heartbroken Bec Hewitt is at breaking point.

As the always “sunny” Bec watches her invalid, and increasingly depressed, husband limp around their luxury compound in the Bahamas, she is privately seething at his latest betrayal. The gorgeous mum-of-three cannot help but support the man she fell in love with seven years ago but she is terribly worried – and hurt – that he is even contemplating a return to tennis.

“Bec sees it as a real betrayal,” confides one close friend. “She had already started planning their new life back home in Australia when Lleyton decided to delay his retirement once again, this time to chase Olympic gold at the London Games in August.” Bec is also humiliated that he “deliberately” kept the extent of his injury from her, yet confided to his parents, Glynn and Cherilyn, that he needed painkillers to even walk.

A close family friend says hiding this really “burned” her, taking the gorgeous former Home And Away actress back to the early days of their marriage when Lleyton’s moods were black and often almost unbearable. He says they almost split up then, because Lleyton often confided in his parents before his bride.

“His parents had the prime roles in his life and decision-making, and he resented having to communicate with this person who had just become his wife,” the friend says. “Like now, they never had fights, but just suffered along in silence when times were tough – and that sort of pressure kills Bec as she’s bubbly and up-front, and what’s happening now is pushing her to the edge. There was a very real chance they would split back then and I think she is struggling once again.”

Read more about Bec’s struggle, plue see exclusive pictures of her spending time alone with her children in this week’s Woman’s Day on sale Monday March 19, 2012.
