Whitney Houston had a complex relationship with her family. While she was close to her mother, Cissy Houston, and often credited her for her musical influence, her relationships with other family members were more complicated, particularly with her cousins and her ex-husband, Bobby Brown. Her family's struggles with addiction and personal issues also impacted their dynamics. Overall, while there were strong bonds, there were also significant challenges that affected their closeness.
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.

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.
