A few weeks ago (HERE), we published the Gospel Artiste Israel Houghton’s 20 year old marriage had crashed. Well, he has started dating again!
He is now seeing a TV personality, Adrienne Bailon.
That’s not all, Israel has further taken to Facebook
to confirm that he’s dating Adrienne, adding that no one should accuse her of breaking up his 20-year marriage that ended earlier this year.

In the midst of all that’s going on in
the world… Suffering, terrorism, deciding a future for our country, and
making the world safer; It is sad that I am even having to address this
matter… I understand that gossip and salacious untrue speculative
stories are far more interesting and entertaining than the truth &
facts. But, it’s incredibly unfair to allow someone to carry the burden,
blame & shame of something they had nothing to do with…I met Adrienne Bailon a bit over 2 years
ago, we worked together & became friends… Our circles connected
& we remained good friends. From a friendship, as two single adults
we have very recently begun to explore a dating relationship.As I previously wrote in a statement I
released a while back, My marriage had been over for quite some time
before going public with my divorce announcement.Where I shared, or as some have pointed
out ‘over-shared’ my failure in my marriage… From over 5 years prior. It
seems to be simple math that I had not even yet met Adrienne during the
time my marriage was falling apart.It deeply saddens me that an innocent
party would be dragged into this situation that I have taken personal
responsibility for. Adrienne is a woman of integrity & character…
Most of all she is a true friend, and she should not be blamed for my
past indiscretions. I assure you – I am willing to own my wrongs and I
have in the past. God knows & sees all things. I appreciate your
prayers, and I join you in praying for the issues of life that truly
matter today all over the world.Israel Houghton
