Adrienne Bailon and her new man

Looks like the actress, singer and co-host to the Real is off the market again.

Adrienne Bailon went public with her new romance whilst on holiday in Tulum, Mexico this week. It looks like the 32-year-old is dating Grammy-winning gospel singer Israel Houghton. Interestingly enough, he recently announced he had divorced his wife of more than 20 years Meleasa last month.

The 44-year-old stated that he and Meleasa had been separated for a long time before officially ending their marriage, and revealed that his infidelity five years ago was to blame for the split.

According to TMZ, Adrienne began dating Israel after his divorce was made official earlier this year, and the two were spotted kissing during their romantic Mexican getaway.
It wasn't an out of the blue get together kind of thing, the pair were friends before they became romantically involved, Adrienne was in the movie 'I'm in Love with A Church Girl' which came out in 2013 and co starred alongside rapper Ja Rule. Now Israel Houghton produced this movie. Rumour has it that this is when they first officially met.

Israel shared a Facebook post on Tuesday after news of his relationship with Adrienne broke, stating: 'I met Adrienne Bailon a bit over 2 years ago, we worked together & became friends.

"Our circles connected & we remained good friends. From a friendship, as two single adults we have very recently begun to explore a dating relationship."

Israel insisted in the now-deleted post that they will 'remain friendly and kind to each other' for the sake of their three children: Mariah, Israel Jr. and Milan Lillie.

"Although I am sincerely sorry, and forgiven, I soberly realize that I will live with the consequences of my failings for the rest of my life,"

Now this is where it gets interesting. A few fans well a few people decided to be shady and did a little digging. People dug up the post of Israel Houghton congratulating Adrienne and her then fiancée Lenny. 

Unfortunately, the engagement didn't last. The couple who had been together for six years announced that they had called off the wedding in September. 

Recently, on The Real on one of their girl chats the topic was 'talking about situationships'. Now if I'm correct I remember hearing Adrienne say "I'm not looking for a boyfriend, I'm looking for a husband". So here is my thought is Israel a potential husband, or not?  What do you guys think?

Do you think this is a small fling/rebound kind of relationship? Or this might end up being a serious relationship?
