Since getting married, Brown and Etheredge have added two daughters, Bodhi and Hendrix, to their beautiful family. Although the couple only got married nine years ago, they have known each other since they were teenagers.

Brown previously revealed he met Etheredge when he was about 18 years old. They met at a dance place and became friends, then they started hanging out.

Although Brown is famous for his talent as a musician, he was also noted for his bad-boy behavior, womanizing, and drug use.

Since 2008, Etheredge has been working as her husband's manager. Before working for him, she worked for sports and music stars like Magic Johnson and Macy Gray.

Her business knowledge is somewhat a family thing as she comes from a family of business owners. Her brother works in the film industry, while her sister is a hair product line co-founder.

Faith is at the center of Etheredge and Brown's marriage. Although Brown is famous for his talent as a musician, he was also noted for his bad-boy behavior, womanizing, and drug use.

However, he has since turned a new leaf thanks to his faith in God and in no small part to his wife. During an appearance on Essence's "Yes, Girl!" podcast, Brown and his beautiful wife spoke about how faith was at the core of their marriage.

Ward found out Brown was engaged to famed singer Whitney Houston while she was two months pregnant with Bobby Jr.

In his lifetime, Brown has fathered seven children. Besides his three kids with Etheredge, he has four other kids from different relationships and his first marriage.

Brown's older child is Landon, who he shares with Melika Williams. Landon was born in 1986. Brown also had a prolonged on-and-off relationship with Kim Ward, who he met in 1980.

He and Ward welcomed their daughter La'Princia in 1981 and their son Bobby Brown Jr. in 1991. It was in the year of Bobby Jr.'s birth that Brown and Ward ended their 11-year relationship.

The reason for their split was that Ward found out Brown was engaged to famed singer Whitney Houston while she was two months pregnant with Bobby Jr.

After splitting from Ward, Brown married Houston in 1992. Their marriage was contentious and riddled with infidelity claims, drug use, and domestic violence.

The coupls was the center of jokes on television as people made fun of their relationship. Things got worse in 2003 after Brown was charged with battery following a fight with Houston.

Two years after that episode, Brown and Houston appeared in the reality show "Being Bobby Brown." However, their personal lives were scrutinized even further. In September 2006, Houston filed for divorce and it was finalized in April 2007.

During Houston and Brown's marriage, they welcomed a daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, born in 1993. After finalizing their divorce, Houston revealed she began using drugs with Brown and that he was abusive towards her.

Brown's marriage to Etheredge has been devoid of complications.

Houston died on February 11, 2012. Brown could not perform after finding out about her death and excused himself from the stage during a New Edition show.

In his first interview after her death, he told "Today's" Matt Lauer that he still misses her fiercely and that he had 14 beautiful years with her. He also said:

"I can honestly say that -- I love that woman with -- with everything that I am. And I believe she loved me the same way."

Brown also said he never used drugs before meeting Houston, but after trying it for the first time, he became addicted. He expressed his regrets and wished he had done something different to ensure Houston had a longer life.
