Bobbi Kristina Brown Engaged? Rep Says No, But Urges Fans To Watch Reality Show
The Internet was abuzz yesterday with news that Whitney Houston's daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown was engaged, but now her press representative is calling that story into question.
News of the engagement came when a new teaser trailer for Brown's Lifetime reality show, "The Houstons: On Our Own," hit the Web and implied that she was engaged to hey boyfriend and unofficial adopted brother, Nick Gordon.
But a spokesperson for Brown is denying that the 19-year-old is actually engaged. All the rep would say is, "You have to watch the show!"

Brown has not spoken about the engagement rumors herself through her Twitter account, but she did fuel speculation further when she wore a large diamond ring on her engagement finger Thursday night when she and Gordon appeared at the Nokia Theatre for "We Will Always Love You: A Grammy Salute to Whitney Houston."
The relationship between Brown and Gordon has stirred up controversy among both the public and the Houston family because the pair was raised like siblings during their early years. Gordon, 22, was never officially adopted by Whitney Houston, but she took him into her home when he was only 12 years old, after his father went to prison and his mother could not care for him.
The trailer for "The Houstons" shows the family's negative reaction to the engagement. In one scene, Whitney Houston's brother Gary Houston has a heated talk with Gordon about his relationship with Bobbi Kristina.
"No one knew that from a godson you would turn into a boyfriend. No one knew that," he tells Gordon.
Whitney Houston's sister, Pat Houston, raised questions when she told ABC News recently that the relationship between Brown and Gordon is only "a very, very strong friendship," despite Brown's acknowledgement that they are in fact a couple.
A lot of teenagers, when they hit 18, they think they're grown," Pat Houston said. "They think they know it all -- they think they know about relationships. You just have to be there to navigate and guide them. You have to hope that their feelings will not get hurt, but they will."
