Rumor Control: Whitney Houston Dating Bishop Eddie L. Long?
Reports of Whitney and Bobby’s divorce shocked the entire entertainment industry. While many suspected trouble in the marriage, few believed that the couple would actually call it quits. But Atlanta Gossip, (AG) has learned that Whitney may have moved on from the relationship a long time ago. We’ve discovered that for months now, the golden-voiced diva has been cozying up with a popular Atlanta minister, Bishop Eddie L. Long of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia, Georgia.
In an exclusive interview, we spoke with a woman who claims that Whitney and the nationally renowned minister have been carrying on a “close private relationship.” The source told Atlanta Gossip that the two met while Whitney was battling her drug addiction.

She explained, “at first [the minister] was just helping Whitney with her addiction, then the next thing you know they’re going on weekend ‘retreats’ together.”
But there’s a big problem with Whitney’s new “relationship” – the pastor is currently married with children. Our tipster, who is also a close friend of the minister’s wife, told us, “what Whitney is doing is just plain wrong, that man has a family.” And she offers a stern warning, “I’m not accusing anyone of anything yet, but [the minister's wife] is not just going to sit back and let Whitney steal her man … if stuff needs to get ugly, it will.” Developing . . .
You already know the deal. We don’t believe you, you need more people.
I’m not trying to question the credibility of AG (okay, maybe I am just a little) or put them on blast but I have yet to see an official website, blog, or messageboard from them. All types of ridiculous rumors have come from the group in the past.
You can believe what you want to but I’m having a very hard time seeing the truth in this.
