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.
