Marques Houston Welcomes New Baby with His Wife Miya

Marques Houston and his wife, Miya, have announced the arrival of their new baby.

Hitting Instagram, the couple wrote “On December 13th we welcomed our sweet baby boy. We are so in love and couldn’t feel more complete.”

The baby’s name is Greyson Houston and weighed 6lbs and 2oz.

Earlier this year, Marques Houston opened up on marrying a 19-year-old woman, who he met when she was 17. The R&B singer will appear on the TV One series, Uncensored, where he will tell why their “situation is a little different.”

Houston states the two met through mutual friends. “When I met my wife, she was 17. We had no, really, conversation and no, really, connection until she was of age,” Houston said.

Acknowledging the backlash, Houston chalked it up as “people don’t understand.”

“When we did finally start to talk, I was like, ‘This woman is like me.’ For one, we had a spiritual connection, and I feel like that’s the most important thing, and being able to start being around her, we connected through music and her spirit, her kindness, her heart, reminds me a lot of my mom. We connected on so many different levels.”

In June 2020, the singer/actor addressed his relationship on Instagram. “With all that’s going on in the world, my love life shouldn’t be a topic. But since it is let me just give y’all the facts so you don’t have to ‘allegedly’ believe or create rumors,” says the You Got Served star. He continued, “I needed to speak because this is not music or television, this is my family, my future wife and my life.”

At that time, Houston told his fans on Instagram that he met Miya at a Jehovah’s Witness Convention in 2018. She eventually became friends with his manager Chris Stokes’s daughter, Chrissy.

He continued saying, “ We fell in love and got engaged in March of 2019. My dad Michael loves her, and the people I am closest to all love her as well. Most importantly we have Jehovahs blessing. …And that’s the story. No twists, no turns, no scandals, just true love. There is nothing that can come to light, because there’s no darkness in my life. You wanted the truth. I don’t have anything to hide, so if you’re waiting for something else, you will be waiting forever.”

Marques Houston Slammed For Dating Comments

by

Marques Houston may be better known for his dating exploitations than his storied musical career. In 2019, Houston became engaged to Miya Dickey, and the couple was married in August 2020. However, Dickey was just 18 when the couple met, a full 19 years younger than Houston. The relationship sparked a wave of backlash against the couple. It is still a much-talked-about issue, with Houston speaking out about it as recently as earlier this month.

However, Houston is now in the news for a different reason concerning his dating life. Speaking with Page Six, Houston said that women his own age (41) came with too much “baggage.” Furthermore, the father of one went on to say, “A red flag to me [was] always with a woman that had a kid,” he said. “Nothing against single women, but single mothers with children are a red flag for me.” Already in a hole, Houston kept on digging, saying, “So that was always my red flag… and a woman with an attitude. I don’t like women with funky attitudes.”

Backlash Against Houston Swift and Fierce

Safe to say, the internet didn’t love Houston’s comments. The responses broke down into two specific camps. First, there were the people who objected to Houston calling single mothers a “red flag” when he is best known for dating an 18-year-old. There were plenty of tweets that simply called Houston a “predator” in a similar vein. Other people pointed to the allegations that prior to being taken in by Houston’s friend Chris Strokes, Miya Dickey was a runaway teen. If these allegations are true, Dickey was just three years removed from being a missing person when she met Houston. Detractors also pointed to a recent TMZ clip where Houston says his wife “keeps him young and fresh.”

Meanwhile, other replies largely questioned why people give Houston the opportunity to defend himself and give public statements like this. One tweet simply read “Can we stop asking Marques Houston questions?” Defending his marriage to a 19-year-old is really the only topic of conversation for Houston in recent media appearances. This is why there is an understandable objection to giving him a platform, as he primarily uses what he is given to defend his marriage. However, Houston does have his supporters. One tweet argues that Houston “made a 19-year-old an honest woman through the institution of marriage”. Regardless, Marques Houston is once again in the news for marrying a 19-year-old. However, this time it comes with the added layer of bashing women his own age.

Marques Houston Explains Marrying Wife At 19 When He Was 38

He once topped the charts and toured the world with his Immature groupmates, but Marques Houston has been controversial in recent years. The singer and actor has been involved in the industry since his childhood. Houston knows the perils of public life, especially the public’s prying eyes. However, he was met with a wave of backlash after he married his wife, Miya, when she was 19. At the time, Houston was 38, and people believed their romance was inappropriate.

Reports ran wild as photos of Marques and Miya’s wedding emerged in 2020. Among the well-wishes were questions about how long the pair were together before tying the knot. Considering her age, people believed Houston dated the teen before she became a legal adult. In an interview with Uncensored, the hitmaker finally addresses the scandal.

Marques Houston Sets The Record Straight

Houston says he had no romantic feelings or interactions with Miya before she was 18. “No conversation and no, really, connection,” he said on Uncensored. “Me and my wife’s situation is a little different.” Houston stated he and Miya met through “mutual friends.” It’s rumored that one of those friends was Chris Stokes, the controversial music executive who has faced assault allegations from B2K’s Raz-B. Marques admitted that Miya was 17 when they met but said their situation was unique.

“People don’t understand it. And, of course, I got a lot of backlash for marrying someone that was 19,” said the singer. “And, you know, when we did finally start to talk, I was like, ‘This woman is like me.’” He explained what made his relationship with Miya differ than women his age. “For one, we had a spiritual connection, and I feel like that’s the most important thing.” Both Houston and Miya are Jehovah’s Witnesses.

“And being able to start being around her,” he further said, “we connected through music and her spirit, her kindness, her heart. Reminds me a lot of my mom, and we connected on so many different levels.” This has only caused the pushback to intensify from the public.
