Rod and Steph discussed this rumor yesterday morning on Cars 108, and at this point it is still only a rumor. The source is questionable but his claim is that Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston were for a brief time, an item.

Radar Online published a report that Matt Fiddes spoke about the love connection between Whitney and Michael. “Whitney practically moved in to Michael’s ranch and they had a fling like any other young couple,” Fiddes said. “But Michael said later he had always hoped the relationship had gone further, and I know he dreamed of marrying her.”

The relationship only lasted two weeks. “They were both a mess, to be honest,” Fiddes said.“They shared what would be their final hugs and Michael begged Whitney to get off the drugs that were destroying her life,” Fiddes said. “The two of them whispered that they loved each other as they hugged. The emotion was written all over their faces.”

Houston was also reportedly linked to Jackson’s brother Jermaine at one time, with some sources claiming that Michael was one of very few who knew about their relationship. We may never know the truth, but the rumor is fascinating!
