Whitney Houston’s secret son has spoken out over the loss of the woman who gave him her love, RadarOnline.com is reporting.

As news of the singer’s death broke on Saturday, tributes poured in from celebrities, with many sending their thoughts to Whitney’s teenage daughter Bobbi Kristina, however, those who knew Whitney best said they were thinking of Whitney’s children -- plural.
