Bobbi Kristina Brown, the daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown is engaged.

Brown’s fiancé, Nick Gordon, was a young man that her mother took under her wing and raised.  The pair were raised together like siblings, however the couple became close especially after Whitney Houston’s death.

Even though the newly engaged couple have received many non-approving comments from the public on Facebook, Brown has been vocal about being in love and that she will not waiver just from opinions of others.

Brown says that her mother approved of their relationship and is very happy with her future son-in-law, as posted on Facebook:

“YES, we me nick are engaged. I’m tired of hearing people say, ‘eww, you’re engaged to your brother or if Whitney was still alive would we be together or would she approve of this.’ Let me clear up something, we aren’t even real brother and sister nor is he my adoptive brother. My mom never adopted him. In fact, mommy was the one who even said that she knew that we were going to start dating. My mom knows me better than any of you. A lot of y’all are saying that y’all are all saying this out of love. Which is bull, because if that was so, all you would want is for me to be happy. People need to seriously stop judging my relationship. Pretty sure it’s my own decision who I want to be with. Yes my relationship may not be perfect. We will have rough patches just like other relationships. You may or may not agree with my relationship, you may or may not respect it. Judge me, go ahead, your opinions are yours and mine are mine. It’s my life not yours. The decisions I make have nothing to do with you, Goodnight.”
