Robyn Crawford and Lisa Hintelmann’s relationship history
Lisa Hintelmann and Robyn Crawford met after the latter left Whitney Houston’s inner circle. They have been together since then and are adoptive parents of a pair of twins. As of late 2019, the family resides in New Jersey.
Before Hintelmann came into her life, Crawford was reportedly in a relationship with Houston. She wrote about it in her book A Song for You: My Life With Whitney Houston. They met when they were still teenagers in the summer of 1980. At the time, they were both employees at the East Orange Community Development Center in New Jersey. Their relationship gradually changed over the years into a more professional one as Houston sought to establish herself in the music industry.
In an interview with Lena Waithe for Oprah Magazine, Crawford reflected on societal labels and how it has impacted both Houston and her. “As for me, I don’t label myself today,” she said I don’t feel like I have to slap a label on my chest just because I found love with my wife. Just because I choose to stand up for anything that I choose to support, doesn’t mean that I have to be this or that. I’m just Robyn.”
