Months after diffusing a public scandal about
their relationship, Adrienne Bailon’s boyfriend
and Christian music singer, Israel Houghton, is
praying with her co-stars on the hit daytime
talk show “The Real.”
Bailon, 32, took to Twitter to reveal an image of
Houghton praying with her fellow co-hosts,
Tamar Braxton, Loni Love, Jeannie Mai and
Tamera Mowry-Housley.
“Love this pic @ihoughton praying with us for
the last prayer of the season. #TheReal,” the
singer, actress and co-host wrote.
In a previous interview with The Christian Post, Bailon revealed how she has been able to
bond with her co-stars through prayer
“I love that all five of us as believers, before we
walked out on that set every single day, we
prayed. I don’t know what anybody else’s
rituals are on other shows but I said there’s
something so special and so crazy about that,”
Bailon told CP. “…We pray that God use us individually to touch somebody, to make
somebody laugh, to make somebody say ‘Oh
my God, I’m not alone!'”
Bailon was first romantically linked with
Houghton from the Christian band Israel
Houghton & New Breed earlier this year. The
band’s frontman defended their romantic
union after he publicly announced his divorce
on Facebook.
With rumors swirling that Bailon broke up his
marriage, Houghton made it clear that was not
the case.
“…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…,” Houghton wrote in a lengthy Facebook post. “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.”
Although Houghton only publicly announced
his divorce one month before being
photographed vacationing with Bailon in
Talum, Mexico, the 44-year-old set the record
straight about the ending of his previous
union.
“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,” he wrote. “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.”
On her own television show, Bailon put the
rumors to rest as well.
“I think people see an announcement was
made at the top of the year and then they see
these photos and then they think well let’s put
this together but this is why I’m grateful for
things like this because it allows you to set the
facts straight and God forbid the facts get in the way of a really juicy story,” she explained on “The Real”. “I’m going to say the truth and the truth of the matter is he isn’t married. He
obviously is divorced.
