Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown: Age Ain't Nothing But a Number...Except When It Is
Ever get stuck belting out a Whitney Houston power ballad in the shower, only to wonder how old Whitney Houston would be if she were still here? Or maybe you're curious about the age gap between her and Bobby Brown? Well, buckle up boo, because we're about to dive into the age mysteries of this iconic musical couple!
Bobby Brown: The R&B Bad Boy with Staying Power
Bobby Brown, oh Bobby Brown. The man behind hits like "My Prerogative" and "Every Little Step" has been around longer than some of our, ahem, more "refined" music tastes. Born in 1969 (that's 55 years old as of 2024!), Bobby was definitely a young buck when he hit the music scene in the late 80s.
Whitney Houston: A Voice for the Ages
Whitney Elizabeth Houston, the queen of pop and R&B, needs no introduction. Her powerful vocals and timeless hits like "I Will Always Love You" and "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)" are forever ingrained in our musical DNA. Sadly, Whitney passed away in 2012. Born in 1963, she would have been 61 years old today.
The Age Gap: Did it Matter?
Now, let's get down to the nitty-gritty. Whitney was actually five years older than Bobby. That might seem like a big deal when you're, well, younger. But in the grand scheme of love (and killer music careers), age can just be a number.
The Takeaway: Age is Just a Number, But Talent is Forever
Bobby Brown is still going strong at 55, and Whitney Houston's legacy lives on through her incredible music. So next time you're rocking out to "My Prerogative" or weeping along to "I Will Always Love You," remember these two music titans and their timeless talent.
Bonus Fun Fact: Whitney wasn't the only musical legend Bobby Brown crossed paths with. He was also part of the iconic group New Edition before launching his solo career. See, Bobby Brown has been around the block (and the music charts) for a while!
