Which singer was Whitney Houston married to from 1992 to 2007?

Whitney Houston was married to singer Bobby Brown from 1992 until their divorce was finalized in 2007. They married on July 18, 1992, at Houston’s estate after meeting at the 1989 Soul Train Music Awards and developing a relationship over several years.

Both artists were major figures in Black popular music. Houston was an internationally successful pop and R&B vocalist, while Brown had been a member of New Edition before launching a solo career associated with the rise of new jack swing. Together, they recorded “Something in Common,” a 1992 song that reflected their public image as a prominent music-industry couple.

The marriage produced one child, Bobbi Kristina Brown, born on March 4, 1993. Their relationship later became highly publicized because of addiction, legal troubles, and domestic conflict. Houston filed for legal separation in 2006 and filed for divorce later that year; the divorce became final on April 24, 2007, with Houston receiving custody of their daughter. Teddy Riley, Luther Vandross, and Babyface were collaborators or fellow singers, not Houston’s husband.
