The identity of the 45-year-old star's latest man is unknown, but Whitney - who has battled crack-cocaine addiction - is said to be smitten with him.

He has reportedly been a regular visitor to the home in Atlanta, Georgia, she is currently renting.

The source added to the National Enquirer: "Whitney has finally gotten Bobby out of her system and she is clean of drugs. She's in a much healthier place than she was a couple of years ago, hopefully this could be the start of something great for Whitney."

Whitney and Bobby married in 1992 and divorced in 2007. They have a 15-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina.

In 2006, Whitney was revealed to be addicted to crack cocaine and living in squalor.

Shocking photographs allegedly showing the singer's bathroom littered with drug paraphernalia were released by Bobby's sister Tina, who at the time claimed she had abused substances with Whitney.
