Help and support from family and friends
Many media sources have reported that it was Aretha Franklin, but in an interview with Al Roker after Whitney Houston's death, Aretha stated that she was not Whitney's godmother, but rather, a very close family friend. That said, Whitney thought of Aretha as a member of the family, and there are reports she called her "Aunt Ree" when still a child. But after Whitney died, reports also surfaced that Aretha and Cissy Houston (Whitney's mom) had a dispute and became estranged from each other; this may explain why Aretha began to disavow any relationship to the family.

No, they are not related, but Whitney always felt close to her and thought of her as an aunt. Actually, Aretha was Whitney's godmother.
By most accounts, Aretha was a very close friend of the family, and when Whitney was growing up, she thought of Aretha as an aunt. It is not unusual for a close family friend to be asked to be the godmother. But it should be noted that after Whitney died, Aretha went on a TV program (the Today Show) and said she had never been Whitney's godmother, even though this had been reported in the media for many years.

Whitney Houston- Family First
Media sources for years reported that Aretha Franklin was Whitney's godmother, and she did not correct that assertion. But more accurately, she seems to have been Whitney Houston's honorary Aunt; Whitney referred to her as "Aunt Ree". Whitney Houston's actual Godmother is Darlene Love. In an interview with Al Roker after Whitney's death, Aretha Franklin confirmed that she was not Whitney Houston's Godmother, but a very close family friend and an honorable "Aunt" to Whitney. It should also be noted that Aretha seemed to have gotten into some sort of dispute with Whitney's mom, Cissy Houston, about whether the family had done enough to keep Whitney off drugs; perhaps Aretha has been trying to separate herself from the family by now saying she was never Whitney's godmother.
