Adrienne Eliza Bailon-Houghton is a singer-songwriter, actress, entrepreneur, host and television personality hailing from New York City’s Lower East Side.

Her first claim to fame was acting as the lead singer of successful female R&B trio 3LW. Their debut 2000 single “No More (Baby I’ma Do Right)” quickly became a hit and is considered their signature song; its follow-up self-titled album also found critical and commercial success. After releasing 2 further studio albums, 3LW officially disbanded in 2006.

In the midst of 3LW, she was simultaneously involved in Disney’s international phenomenon The Cheetah Girls (for which she is perhaps best known), which she had been a member of since its launch in 2003. The franchise achieved several platinum-selling albums, iconic merchandise and, of course, worldwide success as a result of the movie series. Bailon consequently became an unstoppable force in the industry.

She is also recognized for her highly publicized relationship with Rob Kardashian during 2007 and 2009, synonymously appearing on the hit reality show he shared with his family, Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Bailon also dated, and was briefly engaged to, music executive Lenny Santiago from 2010 to 2015. However, she has been married since 2016 to renowned gospel singer Israel Houghton, hence her name change to Adrienne Houghton.

Houghton has continued to solidify her career: as a co-host on daytime talk show The Real from 2013 to 2022, where she won an Emmy award; independently releasing a solo Latin-inspired Christmas album in 2017; finishing third as the Flamingo in the second series of The Masked Singer (USA); her various acting appearances; owning several fashion lines; becoming a YouTuber; and co-anchoring from 2022 to 2023 on entertainment news show, E! News.
