Michael Jackson is said to have fallen in love with Whitney Hosuton after a series of romps at his Neverland ranch and never got over her when she ended it.
Their sensational affair came six years after Whitney Houston slept with Michael’s older brother Jermaine Jackson.
The passion between two of the world’s most tragic stars is among a string of revelations about Michael Jackson’s crazed life.
Michael Jackson’s British bodyguard, Matt Fiddes, who spoke to him three days before his death, last night lifted the lid on his most intimate secrets in a world exclusive interview on Saturday.
“I loved Michael so much but I finally feel it’s time to get everything that horrified and upset me over the years off my chest,” the Sun quoted multi-millionaire martial arts master Matt Fiddes as saying.
“I also know this affair will end all the myths that Michael was some kind of child molester – he was a straight man,” he said.
Matt Fiddes also told how Michael Jackson was impotent for years because of his huge intake of drugs and booze, was a Nazi sympathizer who needed psychiatric “re-programming”, a desperate attention-seeker, haunted by baldness, anorexic and riddled with needle marks he dismissed as “spider bites”.
“One of the many stories that have never been told about Michael is that he had an ultra-secret affair with Whitney Houston that he never got over.
“He was furious when he heard she had also slept with Jermaine but this didn’t stop him holding a candle for her his whole life,” Matt Fiddes said.
Matt Fiddes, 32, said that Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston met in 1991, when they were both global superstars. Jacko, then 33, had just renewed his recording contract with Sony for a record $60 million.
Whitney Houston, yet to spiral into crack cocaine addiction, was 28 and riding high on the worldwide success of her debut album which shifted 25 million copies and contained mammoth hits including Saving All My Love For You and How Will I Know.
“They met because they were two of the biggest recording artists on the planet and mixing in the same circles. They instantly connected as kindred spirits because they understood each other’s massive fame.
“Whitney practically moved in to Michael’s ranch and they had a fling like any other young couple. But Michael said later he had always hoped the relationship had gone further, and I know he dreamed of marrying her,” Matt Fiddes said.
The love affair only lasted two weeks but Michael Jackson never forgot his love for Whitney Houston. A year later she was married to Bobby Brown – the man some blamed for sending her into a downward spiral of addiction.
But ten years later Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston had a tearful reunion at the 2001 concerts at New York’s Madison Square Garden to celebrate his 30 years in pop.
“They were both a mess, to be honest. They shared what would be their final hugs and Michael begged Whitney to get off the drugs that were destroying her life.
“The two of them whispered that they loved each other as they hugged. The emotion was written all over their faces,” Matt Fiddes said.
Michael Jackson embraced Whitney Houston at the show despite his bitterness over her year-long affair with his older brother before they met.
Jermaine Jackson, now 57, had his fling from 1984 to 85, though he was married to Hazel Gordy, daughter of Motown founder Berry.
Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston then went on to die in horrifically similar circumstances – alone and hooked on drugs.
