R&B singer Bobby Brown is perhaps best known for his tumultuous relationship with fellow music icon Whitney Houston. He began his solo career in 1986 after leaving the successful pop group New Edition, and after numerous Billboard hits, he won a Grammy Award.

While married to Houston, Brown appeared in his own reality TV series Being Bobby Brown, which chronicled the couple's rollercoaster romance, but they divorced in 2007. Brown has four children, one with Houston and three from previous relationships. He welcomed his fifth child, a boy, with current girlfriend Alicia Etheridge.
