Reflecting on Whitney Houston’s shocking death in 2012, Bobby said,

“I think we could have helped each other out. I think she would still be here if we hadn’t divorced. I wasn’t there. I beat myself about it because I wasn’t there. I wish I could have been there for her.

He continued,

“We had made our beds and had to lie in them. We always felt that our love was strong enough to overcome any obstacle put in front of us..We would still be together if it wasn’t for drugs. Drugs got the best of us.”

“the love of my life”

He said:

“It was just, like, love at first sight. There was something about her eyes that made me melt inside.”
