Is Bobbi Kristina engaged? Whitney Houston's daughter 'set to marry singer's secret son Nick Gordon'

Bobbi Kristina and Nick Gordon

Bereft Bobbi Kristina is apparently set to marry in the wake of her mother's tragic death. The 19-year-old is said to be secretly engaged to longtime family friend Nick Gordon, who it was reported earlier this week she was dating.

Now it has emerged that 22-year-old Nick - who lived with Whitney since he was 12-years-old and was known as her 'adopted' son - has popped the question to Bobbi, according to Star magazine. 'Nick proposed to Krissy on March 10, and she said yes,' a family friend told the magazine.

'Krissy said Nick is the only person she trusts in the world. They have a very deep connection.' The pair live in Whitney's $1.2m Atlanta townhouse. The singer - who died last month - never formally adopted Nick, but took him in several years ago when his father went to prison and his mother was unable to take care of him.

Star says the couple are keeping the news quiet for now - but quotes other sources expressing concern and suspicion at the time of the proposal.

'Everyone is worried that Nick is looking to take advantage of Krissy,' a friend told the publication, referring to the $10m Bobbi is set to inherit from her late mother.

Bobbi and Nick were apparently spotting kissing and holding hands together last Friday outside a Target store in Johns Creek, Georgia, according to Hollywoodlife.com. (Dailymail)
