ATLANTA (AP) – Whitney Houston’s daughter has frequently declared her love for the man she calls her husband, Nick Gordon, since announcing their marriage a year ago. But a lawyer for Bobbi Kristina Brown’s father, R&B singer Bobby Brown, says that’s not true.

“To correct earlier reports, Bobbi Kristina is not and has never been married to Nick Gordon,” reads a statement released Tuesday by attorney Christopher Brown.

Legal authority over Bobbi Kristina’s health care and money could become a critical issue for the fractious Houston-Brown family, which has said that Bobbi Kristina “is fighting for her life” after being found face-down in her bathtub on Saturday.

Gordon has not spoken publicly since he encountered her unresponsive body. Police said he attempted to revive her while a friend called 911, and that she was alive when rushed to a hospital.

Whitney Houston brought the orphaned Gordon into her family, but never formally adopted him. The megastar singer later divorced Brown and raised the two teenagers on her own.
