Houghton’s wife, Adrienne Bailon, born on 24 October 1983 (age: 40 years old), has become famous in her own right as a singer, actress, and TV personality, although she has often been mentioned in reference to her marriage and husband. Here is a look at the marriage between Isreal and Adrienne, as well as his previous marriage and all his kids.
Israel Houghton and Adrienne Bailon Met Through Work
The love story between Israel Houghton’s wife caused so much wagging to tongues when it came to public light in 2016, as many thought he was still married at the time. However, it was later made known that before the pair became an item, his marriage had already secretly ended for a few months.
However, their journey together started two years prior, in 2014, when they started working together. Houghton revealed that after meeting through work, they soon became close friends, and their circles got connected. They remained close friends since then, and after Israel Houghton’s marriage to his first wife came to an end, the pair explored the possibility of dating.
The first time that they were seen in public together was in March 2016, only a month after the singer announced that he was parting ways with his wife. They were seen when on vacation at the Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa in Tulum, Mexico. It was after this vacation that rumors around them began, forcing Israel to state that they were two single adults when they began dating.
Adrienne made it known in an interview that following the cheating claims against Houghton, she got her publicist to do some diggings, and she found out that there was a mix-up with the divorce papers as the former couple filed under their initials instead of their names for the sake of privacy.
