Adrienne Bailon
Israel Houghton has taken to his Facebook page to defend and explain his new relationship with Adrienne Bailon, the singer formerly a member of The Cheetah Girls.
The new couple was spotted spending some time together at the Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa in Tulum, Mexico. Considering the divorce papers aren’t dry yet with ex-wife Meleasa, the news is stirring up drama. The speculation is that Houghton was seeing Bailon before the divorce was finalized.
Houghton decided to take the rumors head on in his statement:
“In the midst of all that’s going on in the world… Suffering, terrorism, deciding a future for our country, and making the world safer; It is sad that I am even having to address this matter… I understand that gossip and salacious untrue speculative stories are far more interesting and entertaining than the truth & facts. But, it’s incredibly unfair to allow someone to carry the burden, blame & shame of something they had nothing to do with…”
He continued: “I met Adrienne Bailon a bit over 2 years ago, we worked together & became friends… Our circles connected & we remained good friends. From a friendship, as two single adults we have very recently begun to explore a dating relationship.”
The gospel singer ended with: “As I previously wrote in a statement I released a while back, My marriage had been over for quite some time before going public with my divorce announcement.
Where I shared, or as some have pointed out ‘over-shared’ my failure in my marriage… From over 5 years prior. It seems to be simple math that I had not even yet met Adrienne during the time my marriage was falling apart.
It deeply saddens me that an innocent party would be dragged into this situation that I have taken personal responsibility for. Adrienne is a woman of integrity & character… Most of all she is a true friend, and she should not be blamed for my past indiscretions. I assure you – I am willing to own my wrongs and I have in the past. God knows & sees all things. I appreciate your prayers, and I join you in praying for the issues of life that truly matter today all over the world.
Israel Houghton”
