<p>Earlier this week, we were the first to report on a mini vacay that actress/singer, #AdrienneBailon and gospel singer, #IsraelHoughton, were taking together. There was a lot of confusion about the status of Houghton&#8217;s marriage to his wife of over 20 years as he claims they&#8217;ve divorced, however he still wears his wedding band! For your info, Houghton has only been divorced for about a month, so y&#8217;all can stop coming for Miss Bailon!!<br />
Another rumor that surfaced this week was that #JoelOsteen&#8217;s Lakewood Church fired him. Church leaders allegedly told Radar Online, “Lakewood Church released Israel Houghton from his responsibilities as a worship leader [in February] and placed him on indefinite leave. Since that time, he has not been featured in any Lakewood Church related activities.”<br />
It turns out that this is totally false! Houghton is just taking a break from his duties at the church for an unspecified amount of time. He actually pointed his fans to an official statement from Lakewood Church which reads:</p>
<p> ;<a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/img_8223.jpg"><img src="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/img_8223.jpg" alt=""></a> ;<br />
“We can confirm that Israel is on indefinite leave, but it is important to clarify that we still consider Israel to be a part of the Lakewood family and that his employment has not been terminated.”<br />
Lets chat, Roommates!</p>
