After meeting singer Bobby Brown backstage at the 1989 Soul Train Awards, Houston and Bobby began dating and got married three years later in July 1992. Per BET, Bobby said in his May 2022 documentary, "Biography: Bobby Brown," that he immediately fell in love with Houston at the show. "It was just love at first sight," he said. "Something about her eyes made me melt inside."
Houston and Bobby welcomed a daughter named Bobbi Kristina Brown in March 1993. She was Houston's first and only child, while Bobby has fathered seven kids. Shortly after their daughter's birth, the couple made several public appearances with Bobbi as a baby, including at the 1994 American Music Awards, where Houston won eight awards. Houston even brought Bobbi on stage with her while delivering her acceptance speech for favorite soul/R&B album.
