La Toya Jackson spilled new details on the reported affair between Jermaine Jackson and Whitney Houston. “He has admitted that they had an affair,” confirmed La Toya, who wasn’t sure if Jermaine was “completely married” during the period that the affair was to have taken place. The romance reportedly started in 1984, around the time that the two were working on Whitney’s self-titled debut album. In his biography, Jermaine admitted to struggling with his feelings for Whitney and putting them aside for the sake of his marriage.
