Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown back together

Whitney Houston and ex-husband Bobby Brown are reportedly getting back together.

The former couple - who married in 1992 and divorced in 2007 - are said to have rekindled their romance after being encouraged to remarry by their 15-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina.

A report from the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper claims Whitney, 45, and Bobby, 39, were "looking very romantic while dining together in Georgia recently".

However, a representative for the singer insists: "They are just good friends whose primary interest is the wellbeing of their daughter."

Earlier this year, Bobby revealed he believes his marriage to Whitney - who has battled an addiction to crack-cocaine - was destined to fail from the start.

He said: "I think it was doomed from the very beginning. Within the first year we separated, with several more to follow. I think we got married for all the wrong reasons.

"Now, I realise Whitney had a different agenda than I did when we got married. I believe her agenda was to clean up her image, while mine was to be loved and have children.

"Whitney was under a lot of pressure. The media was accusing her of having a bisexual relationship with her assistant, Robin Crawford. In Whitney's situation, the only solution was to get married and have kids. That would kill all speculation, whether it was true or not."
