The story of their marriage was documented through the tabloids, biopics and documentaries. Their drug usage, Brown’s arrests, rumored cheating made headlines up until their divorce.

Three years after their divorce, Brown began dating Alicia Etheredge, whom he he had met during his teenage years while working with her then-boyfriend Teddy Riley. Etheredge was even at Brown’s 1992 wedding to Houston.

“We met many years ago, many years ago,” he told Access Hollywood. “I believe I was about 18, and we were at a dance place, where people just go and work out their new moves … I met her there, and we became friends. We all hung out. Then I ended up getting married, and after me getting divorced, for some strange reason, I saw her again and sparks flew.”
