On Tuesday’s episode of The Real, Adrienne Bailon finally breaks her silence about the new love in in her life and confirms that she is dating Grammy Award–winning Christian music artist Israel Houghton after a year of being single.
“Yes, I am dating. His name is Israel Houghton,” Adrienne revealed while showing off a photo of she and Israel vacationing in Mexico. “And I think, I’m more than anything so grateful that I have a platform like this where I can be with my girls. The show is called The Real. It is a place to speak about the truth and honesty and be real about things. So with that being said, this man pictured here is not married. Praise God!”
Adrienne then goes on to set the record straight. saying that she was not the cause of Houghton’s divorce.
“He had actually put out a statement. He is single, number one. And I think the other thing that people were saying was that I was the cause of his divorce. Which I think any divorce is obviously a sad thing people have to go through. It takes time to get through that sort of thing. And I think no-one put that time together. I think you see an announcement made you know, at the top of this year and then you see these photos and you say to yourself, ‘Well let’s put this together.’ But this is why I’m grateful for moments like this because it allows you to set the facts straight. And God forbid the facts get in the way of a really good juicy story.”
“I’m going to say the truth and the truth of the matter is that isn’t the case. He obviously is divorced. He had put out a statement saying that um he had failed in his marriage and it was about five years back. I didn’t know him at that time, so to put that blame on me was obviously hurtful.”
Adrienne also reveals that her ex-fiance, Lenny Santiago, checked on her to make sure she was okay after hearing about the rumors.
