Many wild rumors have surfaced about late pop icons Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston since their deaths. But a recent rumor claims that the two music pals were more than friends. According to an explosive new report, the two were allegedly an item.
According to London’s Sun newspaper, Jackson’s former bodyguard, Matt Fiddes, gave a tell-all interview to the publication and claimed that Jackson and Houston had a two-week affair in 1991 and that Jackson wanted to marry her.
“Whitney practically moved in to Michael’s ranch and they had a fling like any other young couple. But Michael said later he had always hoped the relationship had gone further, and I know he dreamed of marrying her,” Fiddes said.
Fiddes claims that after a decade apart, Jackson and Houston finally reunited at a concert celebrating Jackson’s 30 years in music.
“They were both a mess, to be honest. They shared what would be their final hugs and Michael begged Whitney to get off the drugs that were destroying her life,” Fiddes recalled. “The two of them whispered that they loved each other as they hugged. The emotion was written all over their faces.”
This isn’t the first time Houston has been romantically linked to a Jackson. Earlier this year, reports claimed that she had an affair with Michael’s brother, Jermaine.
Fiddes is no stranger to tabloid fodder either. Just last week, he claimed that he is the real father of Jackson’s youngest son, Blanket.
Fiddes claims that he’s divulging Jackson’s secret affair for the sake of his conscious and to clear up rumors that Jackson was gay or that he was sexually attracted to children.
“I loved Michael so much but I finally feel it’s time to get everything that horrified and upset me over the years off my chest,” said Fiddes. “I also know this affair will end all the myths that Michael was some kind of child molester — he was a straight man.”
Well, this surely isn’t the last we’ll see of this explosive story, but if it is true, it wouldn’t be the first time celebrities secretly hooked up. Check out some more secret celebrity affairs below. –nicholas robinson
