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.
