A friend close to Michael Jackson says the former pop star and Whitney Houston were lovers at one point — and he even wanted to marry her someday!
Many people assume Michael Jackson leaned more toward men than women sexually, but his friend — a martial arts master named Matt Fiddes — is claiming otherwise and even outlines the late pop star’s intense affair with Whitney Houston!
“One of the many stories that has never been told about Michael is that he had an ultra-secret affair with Whitney Houston that he never got over,” Fiddes told The Sun. “He was furious when he heard she had also slept with [his older brother] Jermaine but this didn’t stop him holding a candle for her his whole life.”
Michael and Whitney reportedly met in 1991, at the peak of their careers and immediately felt a bond.
“They met because they were two of the biggest recording artists on the planet and mixing in the same circles,” Michael’s friend said. “They instantly connected as kindred spirits because they understood each other’s massive fame.”
Then things got serious for a bit, Fiddes explained. “Whitney practically moved in to Michael’s ranch and they had a fling like any other young couple,” he said. “But Michael said later he had always hoped the relationship had gone further, and I know he dreamed of marrying her.”
We can totally imagine Whitney and Michael bonding, especially because they were both young super stars. However, it’s sad to think about what could have happened between them — especially since they’ve both passed on at such young ages.
Do YOU think Michael and Whitney were well suited for one another?

I’m not surprised they hooked up at one point. I always wished they stayed together, who knows how their lives might of ended up. They might still be both alive today. I always used to wonder why she never did a duet with him though for I Just Can’t Stop Loving You. But damn she cheated on him with Jermaine??? I could never cheat on Michael, especially with his brother, of ALL people… This goes to show you Michael WAS not gay and was not into little boys. He was a grown man who loved the ladies this is proof of that. He was getting it from the ladies… He also loved Diana ROss at one point and wanted to marry her, but this was back in the early 80s. Michael loved his black women too… he loved all women. If they had gotten together and made it public they would have reigned as King AND Queen of Pop. R.I.P. A powerful combination. Both gone too soon
