Robyn Crawford

And, um, sadly they didn't, but-

You were, you were close friends with Robin Crawford.

No, I know Robin.

Away from the stage, her private life attracted growing curiosity.

She had a close personal and working relationship with Robin Crawford, whom she had known since adolescence.

At the 1989 Soul Train ceremony, she also met R&B singer Bobby Brown.

Their courtship brought together two stars with strikingly different public reputations, and it would soon become inseparable from the next phase of Whitney's life.
