Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston, two legendary pop icons of the 1980s, rose to fame at a fairly young age and broke the standards. For many years, few people knew that Jackson and Houston had a secret affair. How their romantic relationship developed, why it all ended so quickly and unnoticed by the public - says the author of the blog Hype Wave on “Yandex Zen".
Before Michael began to have feelings for Whitney, the singer had a relationship with his brother Jermain. She collaborated with the musician in the early 1980s and he was one of the producers of her debut album. During this period, their romance began, although Jermain was married. Subsequently, he turned out to be just a short affair, which did not develop into something more.

When Whitney Houston began to conquer the charts, she and Michael Jackson met quite often. Michael's former bodyguard said that they met because they were two of the most popular musicians, moved in the same circles and immediately found a kindred spirit in each other. But then it was not about a romantic relationship.
Six years after breaking up with Jermain, in 1991, Whitney began to communicate with Michael again. At the time, the singer renewed his contract with Sony for a record $ 40 million.
Whitney was 28 years old and has already achieved immense success with three albums that include hits like Greatest Love of All, How Will I Know and I Wanna Dance With Somebody.
Jackson is said to have fallen in love with the diva after they spent the weekend at his ranch.
“Whitney practically moved in with him, and their relationship developed like any other young couple. Michael said he adored her. Unfortunately, their relationship only lasted two years, but Michael never forgot his love for her. Later, he said, they say, he always hoped that this relationship would develop into something more. I know he dreamed of marrying her, ”said Jackson's former bodyguard.
But what went wrong then? Michael's close friend, David Guest, said that he was too shy and afraid to take the first step. Some have argued that this is due to the fact that Whitney had previously dated his brother.
A year later, Whitney married Bobby Brown, a man many have accused of her drug addiction. Both she and Jackson struggled with the harmful addiction during the subsequent years of their lives.
Ten years later, in 2001, Michael and Whitney reunited in New York's Madison Square Garden to celebrate 30 years in the music industry. Both artists have become only pale copies of their former selves. Jackson's former bodyguard noted that when they first hugged, they whispered how they loved each other. Emotions were written on their faces.
After Jackson's death in 2009, Whitney often spoke of the king of pop and reminisced about the time they spent together.
