Adrienne’s past with Rob Kardashian

Adrienne Bailon was together with Rob Kardashian from 2007 to 2009. Her relationship with Rob was her first significant relationship that caught attention. The mention of their relationship on ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ was crucial.

Adrienne was young when she dated Rob Kardashian. She was only 24 years old, and Rob was only twenty-one. But, young love had some serious potential.

Rob inked Adrienne’s name on his rib cage. Likewise, Adrienne also had inked Rob’s name on her backside. It seemed like true love. Haha!

The two had their share of romance, differences, and falling out. But, well and good, both of them have moved on in their lives.

On one occasion, Rob’s sister Kim Kardashian even joked that Adrienne could have been North West’s aunt. Kim’s daughter North had an obsession with Adrienne’s Disney show, ‘The Cheetah Girls.’

None of them have any hard feelings for each other. Moreover, Adrienne has even gone on camera to talk about her experience with young Rob. She congratulated Rob when he and Blac Chyna were expecting their daughter, dream.

Adrienne clarified the reason for their break up as a naïve act at a young age.

Why did they break up? How long did they date?

Adrienne Bailon and Rob Kardashian dated for two years from 2007 to 2009. The main reason for their break-up was Rob’s disloyalty.

It was Rob who cheated on Adrienne and contributed to the ending of the relationship. People have assumed that Adrienne cheated and broke Rob’s heart. But, the Cheetah girl has clarified on several occasions that it was the other way round.

Did they remove the tattoos with each other’s names?

Well, it must have been pretty hard for the two to keep ex-lovers’ names on each other’s bodies. So, after five years of the break-up, Adrienne Bailon finally removed Rob’s name from her backside in 2014.

With the removal of her tattoo, the significance left in her life of that relationship also went away. Meanwhile, Rob does not seem affected by his ex’s name on his body. The name, Adrienne Bailon on his rib cage reportedly is still there.

Or who knows of the Kardashians? Maybe he has already removed or decided to keep it as a reminder of his love of young age.

Start of Adrienne’s flourishing career

It all started with Ricky Martin spotting Adrienne Bailon at the church one night in 1999. After her performance for Martin’s show, Adrienne continued to live her dream of singing. Then one fine day while she was on a trip to Beth Israel, a producer spotted her.

The producer recognizing her talent offered her to be a part of a girl group. Without any reluctance, she grabbed the opportunity and became a member of the group, 3LW.

Adrienne, Kiely Wiliams, and Naturi Naughton signed a deal with Epic Records. They started the work on their first album in 1999.

The release of the group’s debut album on December 5th, 2000, was a huge thing. The debut album sold 1.3 million copies in the U.S. The group and the girls went on to become a massive hit.

2001 was the year of performance and success for Adrienne and her group. The group performed on tours along with Destiny’s Child, Dream, Jessica Simpson, etc.

Unfortunately, the second album, released in 2002, was not a big hit. The same year, one of the members on the 3LW, Naturi Naughton, left the group. She claimed that the management’s misbehavior and a rift with Adrienne were the reason.

For a brief time, Adrienne and Kiely worked their best to keep the group alive. All their works seemed to go in vain as the group was on the verge of bankruptcy. However, with the arrival of a new lady, Jessica Benson, the group got relief.

They released two other studio albums together. Finally, in 2008, the girl trio, 3LW, drifted apart for good. But new endeavors were awaiting Adrienne.

Involvement with ‘The Cheetah Girls’

Adrienne Bailon joined the 2003 American musical film cast, ‘The Cheetah Girls.’ Her association with the Disney channel was a rating success after the first film became a smash hit. She worked in the musical film with Kiely Williams, Raven Symone, and Sabrina Bryan.

Fans loved this film equally. In no time, the movie became the highest-rated Disney Channel original movie. Adrienne was successful in singing as well as acting at the time being.

She could get no better opportunity to flash her singing ability among a large group of audience. The soundtrack, ‘Strut’ from the sequel, was a big hit. The song gave great appreciation to Adrienne Bailon as well.

The group ‘The Cheetah Girls’ came back in 2008 with the franchise’s third film. The third one, ‘The Cheetah Girls: One World,’ couldn’t do business as the previous ones. The film was the least successful.

Nonetheless, Adrienne had her luck again. She sang two solo songs, ‘What if,’ and ‘Stand Up.’ Both of the songs garnered massive love from the audience.

After the third film, the girls decided to part ways. So, after 2008, ‘The Cheetah Girls’ went on their paths for their solo career.

Are ‘The Cheetah Girls’ Still friends?

Disney Channel’s film, ‘The Cheetah Girls,’ showed friendship and drama among four girls. But like in the reel-life, were the four girls, Adrienne, Raven, Kylie, and Sabrina, close in real life?

She went on to tell records that she didn’t want to meet any of the girls except Adrienne Bailon. So, this proves that the cast members had a poor relationship outside the camera.

Adrienne Bailon and husband Israel Houghton welcome their first child, a son named Ever James

A former television personality, singer, and actress welcomed their son via surrogate with her gospel husband.

It’s official: they’ve become parents with their first child.

A former television personality, singer, and actress welcomed their son via surrogate with her gospel husband. Through Her Instagram post, she announced.

“Ever James ♾ / For this child we have prayed / Just to hear our baby cry / Skin to skin and face to face / Heart to heart and eye to eye…,” Bailon wrote in her heartfelt post.

“Our baby boy is here & we are so in love! If you have followed our love story, you know that our journey to baby has been very challenging – But God is true to His word and His promises. We have quietly prayed while sitting on this most magnificent secret for the last 9 months,” Adrienne shared.

“He is worth every tear, every disappointment, every delayed prayer, every IVF cycle, every miscarriage. Everything. All we feel is joy and overwhelming love & gratitude,” the new mom continued. “Grateful to God, to our angel surrogate, and to all of our friends and family who have stood with us for over 5 years on this journey. He’s here, and we have never been happier to lose sleep! #HappilyEverHoughton 🤍”

It is the first child for the Cheetah Girls star, who married the gospel singer in Paris in December 2019.

Houghton has four children. Mariah, Milan, and Jordan are the daughters of her previous relationship.

The struggles Bailon Houghton has openly discussed during her pregnancy. In 2018, she revealed that getting pregnant wasn’t as easy as she hoped.

“I think so many people are very insensitive to that, in the sense [that] I know you guys are like, ‘Is she pregnant?’ ‘Her face is fuller’— FYI, I’ve always had a really chubby face, so that’s not what it is.”

“I think that as an audience, we should be sensitive to the fact that everybody doesn’t get pregnant right away,” Adrienne added. “I think for myself, I thought it would happen so easily for me, and it just hasn’t happened that way.”

“I’ve had to come to peace with that it’ll happen when it’s God’s timing, and I believe in that, and I have faith in all of that,” Adrienne added. “But it can be really discouraging, and it can be really frustrating.”

“I think I looked at myself, and in my mind, I was like, ‘I’m a Cheetah Girl, I’m 19 years old,’ and then I woke up and was like actually, I’m going to be 35 in a few weeks and that makes a big difference. I can feel as youthful as I want in the inside and in my heart, but my ovaries are what they are, and that sucks to hear that,” Adrienne added at the time.

Adrienne also revealed that she thought, “having wide hips and the fact that I’m Latina — I thought that if my husband looked at me, I’d get pregnant.”

“I really believed that and it just hasn’t been that way.”
