Some of us have known for a while and many have speculated but Bobbi Kristina and Whitney Houston‘s unofficial “adopted’ son Nick Gordon are officially an item.

19-year-old Bobbi K (soon to be Kristina Houston), who lost her famous mom just weeks ago, has confirmed via twitter that she and “big brudder” Nick have a closer than close relationship and have been together for quite some time now.

Back in November Bobbi K tweeted the following which caused many to raise an eyebrow…

And now it all makes sense!

Whitney may have even approved of the relationship between the two being that they have been living together alone and unsupervised in her Atlanta townhouse for quite some time now.

For the record, Bobbi K. and Nick are NOT blood-related.  In fact, Whitney allowed him to move in a while ago when he was having problems at home.

A source close to Houston’s daughter tells E! News that the two of them met when they were younger, and Nick was going to enlist in the Army after high school to escape his family problems.

According to our source, Bobbi Kristina told Whitney about Nick’s plans and expressed that she didn’t want him to go, so Whitney agreed to take Nick in as her own. (source)

He was even described by close friends of Bobbi Kristina as the “man” of the house since her dad, Bobby Brown, was never around.

Many have called their relationship “controversial” but the two lovebirds don’t care. Now that their relationship is out in the open, Nick says he is standing by Bobbi Kristina through thick & thin. Just as he always has…

“All the haters that dont know us or th real story can’t un follow me. I don’t give a f–k,” he tweeted.

“I’ve proved my loyalty to her and the Houston family. I don’t owe any of you anything. Ha I don’t even know y’all haters….Some ppl have no lives so they gotta be in ours,” he said.

“For the stupid ppl out there she gave birth to 1 child. And she trusted me with EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!…She called me her me ” God Son” I swear some ppl in this world act like they don’t have a brain…”

What do you think of this recent revelation about Bobbi K & her “brother”?
