Is John Russell Houston III dead?

While Whitney's father, John Russell Houston Jr., died in 2003, her step-brother John Russell III is still alive.


Did Whitney Houston's father remarry or were the stepbrother and sister older than Whitney Houston?

Yes, Whitney's father, John Russell Houston Jr., did remarry and Whitney did have older step-brothers. Whitney Houston's mother, Cissy Houston, was married before she married Whitney's father. Cissy's first marriage produced a son, Gary, Whitney's older half-brother. Whitney's father was married once before he married Whitney's mother. Thus, he already had a son, John Russell Houston III, from that previous marriage. And after divorcing Whitney's mother (with whom he had her and a son Michael), John remarried and had a daughter, Alana, with his third wife, Peggy. Gary and John Houston III are her half-brothers. Alana is not John's biological daughter, he adopted her when he married Peggy.

He had a daughter (Alana) with his new wife, so Whitney also had one step-sister.
