It is a shock when people come to the state of breaking marriages, but even a bigger shock when a wedding for a very long time sees it end. Israel Houghton divorced his wife Meleasa Houghton after a marriage of twenty years.
It's really sad to see the couple divorcing after spending the marital life for around two decades. So, what went wrong in between the couple? Read the full story here.
Israel Houghton Divorced Meleasa Houghton
Israel Houghton, whose age is 44 years has filed divorce. He and his wife were living separated way before the official proceeding took place. Parents of three kids Israel and Meleasa just did not want to stay together is what the sources claim.
However, ironically Israel stated in the media that they both would continue to be “good friends” being “mature people" for the sake of their children.
Israel Houghton’s career affected after divorce
Seems like the lady luck going away from Israel cost him high time because as he divorced his wife, the singer was placed on an "indefinite leave” in his position as the worship leaders for Joel Osteen’s Texas megachurch. And now he is no longer with Church (He served in this post for 5 years.)

The reasons are pretty clear- his divorce and the cheating rumors. Infidelity did cost Houghton high time because this has not only affected his long-time music career but rapidly brought down the net worth of Houghton as well.

Israel Houghton and Adrienne Bailon
Israel Houghton met Adrienne Bailon during the filming of I’m in love with a church girl, and that is when the chords struck. After a month of his divorce, Israel and Adrienne were seen getting cozy in Tulum, Mexico where both of them were apparently holidaying together.
The couple dated for around six months before tying the knot on 11th November 2016. They got engaged in August 2016 with $750,000 Ring In Paris.
In all of this, there has been one thing that is interesting- Israel has gone on a record to claim that Adrienne has no role in his divorce but then his Facebook post tells a completely different story.
The front of Israel and New Breed; Houghton was the reason for his divorce and cheating his wife on his girlfriend Adrienne- this was the news everywhere, but Israel very “calmly” on Facebook posted that Adrienne was NOT the home breaker. Hmmm..
