Singing great Whitney Houston "really wanted to marry" Michael Jackson, according to their friend David Gest.
The music producer was a close confidant of both the late stars, and he believes Whitney - who was laid to rest in New Jersey on Sunday - would have liked to have hooked
up with the Thriller singer, but he was "too shy" to make a move on her.
He said the pair once kissed, but that's as far as it went between the two.
"She really loved Michael and he adored her. Michael told me they once shared a passionate kiss, and she told me she was at one time very much in love with him.
"I think she really wanted to marry him, but although he had a crush on her, he was too shy.
