If you're wondering who's keeping Bobbi Kristina warm at night throughout all this mayhem following her mother Whitney Houston's death, we'll tell you (and it might surprise you).

The 19-year-old and her "big brudder" Nick Gordon have confirmed that the two of them are dating via Twitter.

But before you get all judgmental, know the facts...

Bobbi Kristina's and her "other half" are not blood-related.

A source close to Houston's daughter tells E! News that the two of them met when they were younger, and Nick was going to enlist in the Army after high school to escape his family problems. According to our source, Bobbi Kristina told Whitney about Nick's plans and expressed that she didn't want him to go, so Whitney agreed to take Nick in as her own.

The source also described Nick as a very great person and a great friend. He is very laid back, smart, and very supportive. He was the "man" of the house since Bobby Brown was never around.

As expected, some people found Bobbi and Nick's relationship controversial, so Gordon made sure to set the record straight and show that people's opinions don't faze them or their desire to be together.

"Yea we got a little closer and what!!!… All the haters that dont know us or th real story can't un follow me. I don't give a f--k," he tweeted. "I've proved my loyalty to her and the Houston family. I don't owe any of you anything. Ha I don't even know y'all haters….Some ppl have no lives so they gotta be in ours," he said.

He went on to tweet, "For the stupid ppl out there she gave birth to 1 child. And she trusted me with EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!…She called me her me " God Son" I swear some ppl in this world act like they don't have a brain…"
