Houston has sparked controversy after revealing in a recent interview with Page Six that he prefers to date younger women. He believes that older women come with baggage and red flags. The 40-year-old explained that while he has nothing against single women, those with children are a red flag for him. 

These comments come after Houston received backlash for marrying his 19-year-old wife, Miya Dickey, in 2022.

Houston’s comments about his dating preferences have raised eyebrows, with many criticizing him for perpetuating ageism and suggesting that single mothers are less desirable partners. Some have also pointed out the hypocrisy of Houston’s remarks, given that his own wife was a teenager when they first met.

The actor and singer have faced scrutiny over his relationship with Dickey since news of their marriage broke last year. Dickey was just 18 years old when she and Houston tied the knot, and many have expressed concern about the power dynamic in their relationship. Houston has defended their union, saying that he and Dickey have a strong connection and that he loves her deeply.

Despite the criticism, Houston seems unapologetic about his views on dating and relationships. In his interview with Page Six, he made it clear that he is not interested in dating women who come with what he perceives as “baggage.” 

Whether or not his comments will affect his reputation in Hollywood remains to be seen, but they have certainly sparked a heated debate about ageism, single motherhood, and the dynamics of power in relationships.

Marques Houston Age Gap Controversy

Houston shared that they fell in love and had a lot in common, including being Jehovah Witnesses. However, he acknowledged that he faced criticism for pursuing a relationship with someone who was still underage at the time.

The actor stated he did not pursue a romantic relationship with Miya until she was 18 years old; the legal age of consent in most states. Some fans accused Houston of preying on a young girl and waiting until she was of legal age to marry her.

The couple has also faced allegations that Miya was a missing teenager at the time they met. In fact, it is said she ran away at 15 and was declared missing in Oregon in 2016. These claims have recently resurfaced in light of the controversy surrounding their marriage.

In addition to the age gap controversy, there were also allegations of grooming by former record executive Chris Stokes. Stokes is accused of sexually abusing members of B2K. There were also rumors that Houston was involved in the alleged abuse of B2K members.

In July 2022, former B2K member Omarion announced he was dropping a tell-all docuseries. The docuseries is set to expose the truth about the group breaking up.

Despite Marques’ explanation, some fans have criticized him for “preying” on his young wife. A Twitter user called Houston a “creep,” saying, “bro shoulda shut ya creep ass up. bro whispering the whole interview on some Michael jackson type ish  you a weirdo.”

Some have even compared him to R. Kelly, who was recently sentenced to 30 years in prison for sex trafficking. One fan even said, “Somebody tell marques Houston unlike his wife, we were not born yesterday…. Dude definitely was channeling Rkelly energy when he married Aaliyah.”

Fans will have to tune in to see how Marques addresses these criticisms in his upcoming interview, but the controversy has certainly sparked a heated discussion on social media.

It’s Not You, It’s Me

In similar news, NLE Choppa, a 19-year-old rapper, called it quits with his 27-year-old girlfriend, Marissa Da’Nae. Since the now, ex-girlfriend didn’t face the same level of backlash as Marques Houston, fans may call it a double standard.

​However, the age gap between the two still raised debates on social media.
