Bobby Brown went to therapy to cope with the loss of his two children and ex-wife Whitney Houston
Bobby Brown has been in therapy to "work through" his grief after the deaths of his two children Bobbi Kristina Brown and Bobby Brown Jr and former wife Whitney Houston.
The 56-year-old singer explained that he decided to see a therapist to cope with the grief that came with loss of his daughter and son in 2015 and 2020 at the ages of 22 and 28 from drowning and drug intoxication and a drug overdose respectively, as well as the passing of the 'I Will Always Love You' singer in 2012 at the age of 48.
Speaking on 'The Jennifer Hudson Show' on Monday (19.05.25), Bobby said: "Lots of prayer, first and foremost, that absolutely took me to the point where I accepted therapy in my life. I accepted going to a therapist and really working out all of the issues that I had within me."
The 'Every Little Step' hitmaker also revealed that the support of his wife Alicia Etheredge-Brown and his five remaining children – son Landon, 38, daughter La'Prinicia, 35, from his previous relationships with Melika Williams and Kim Ward respectively and son Cassius, 15, and daughters Bodhi, nine and Hendrix, eight, from his current marriage – has helped him heal through tragic times.
Bobby said: "Also, just family... being there for me when I was down and when I wasn't feeling right and when times got hard.
"They're still there because it doesn't stop. It's not like it just goes away. It's gonna be with you forever, but it's about dealing with it and really paying attention to yourself. Paying attention to how you're feeling that day and letting somebody know how you're feeling that day. You know, not keeping it inside."
The New Edition star was married to Whitney from 1992 until they divorced in 2007 and revealed that he still misses the music icon, with whom he had Bobbi Kristina.
Bobby said: "She taught me a lot, about life and love and about living right... she is definitely loved and missed in my heart."
The star previously revealed that he still sees his late children in his dreams.
He told People in 2022: "I always see them at beaches or in fields. They're running away, but they're laughing. And they're always together.
"I didn't have many dreams about Bobbi Kris before Bobby Jr died. But then all of a sudden – floods of dreams."

Pamela Anderson feels more 'fearless' than ever
Pamela Anderson has never been more "fearless". The 57-year-old actress has enjoyed a renaissance in recent times after starring in the acclaimed movie The Last Showgirl and explained that she is throwing herself into all aspects of life at present. She told People: "I love being in the fight. I love living my life knowing that I can always do better. That just makes me feel alive. And to push myself to try new things. To sing and dance and act onstage, and make choices that are more compassionate when it comes to my beauty regimen." The Baywatch star – who has sons Brandon Thomas, 29, and Dylan Jagger, 27, with her former husband Tommy Lee – continued: "Being an entrepreneur and working with my kids has been so fulfilling and so wonderful. I've never been so at peace, but also inspired and fearless." Anderson admits she finds it "surreal" to be considered an icon after a rollercoaster career in showbusiness. She said: "I don't know how anybody could identify with the term. "But I bought my grandmother's farm, so to think that I was sitting here, probably where I'm sitting now, with my grandma having tea as a young girl, and to have had the whole life that I've had, it does feel surreal." Anderson is famous for her blonde locks and has considered going grey, but suggested that mother Carol's influence has prevented her from doing so. She said: "I think about that a lot. It's my mum saying, 'No, Pamela, not yet.' She's very specific when it comes to hair. Everything is about hair for her. "She was the one who always told me, 'If you're pretty, you're more powerful.' And I always rebelled against it." Pamela Anderson has never been more "fearless".

Hugh Jackman, Deborra-Lee Furness divvy up real estate amid divorce, including $35 million NYC apartment
As tensions heat up in their divorce, Hugh Jackman and Deborra Lee-Furness have started splitting up their real estate assets. Furness, 69, reportedly paid $11.7 million (AU$18 million) to the company that the couple used to buy their glamorous New York City penthouse in 2022 for $21 million. The luxury apartment in Manhattan's Chelsea neighbourhood is now valued at around $23 million, according to People , meaning that Furness has bought Jackman, 56, out. Property records suggest that the Australian actress made the payment on May 25, two days before she officially filed for divorce after 27 years of marriage. The three-bedroom and 3.5-bathroom apartment sprawls over 5,000 square feet across two floors, with an additional 3,700 square feet of outdoor space. It's tucked near the Hudson River in a neighbourhood known for bold facades and even bolder celebrity residents. The riverfront haven is just one of many standouts in the former couple's enviable real estate collection, which includes properties in the US, UK and at home in Australia. It is believed that they still own together a waterfront apartment overlooking the iconic Bondi Beach, a second apartment in New York City's West Village and a Hamptons beach house. The news comes after the former couple were reportedly struggling earlier this year to divvy up their estimated $250 million fortune after it was revealed they didn't have a prenup. The pair eventually reached an agreement behind the scenes. 'A settlement was reached that Deborra is pleased with, which includes a handsome spousal support payment,' a source revealed to The Daily Mail . 'There was some back and forth regarding this financial agreement, but in the end, she got what she believed she deserved. Both are coming out of this financially secure.' It is believed their marriage began to unravel during COVID, which is around the same time Jackman struck up a friendship with Sutton Foster, his co-star on the hit Broadway revival of The Music Man. In a recent statement, Furness hinted that the Wolverine star committed an act of 'betrayal', fuelling rumours that her former husband cheated on her with Foster. Furness is now reportedly planning to publish a tell-all book, which will detail her side of the divorce. Jackman is yet to release a statement about the divorce, but is believed to be 'extremely disappointed' in Furness' allegations about 'betrayal'.
