Lisa Hintelmann Is Robyn Crawford's 'Endless Love' with Whom She Created a Family
Robyn Crawford revealed her wife, Lisa Hintelmann, is her "everything," and the couple shares two beautiful children. Their romance came after Robyn Crawford's romantic relationship with Whitney Houston, which the two women kept secret for decades.
Robyn Crawford is commonly known for being one of Whitney Houston's closest confidants and later shocked the world when she revealed their relationship was more than friendly.
However, once her romance with the "I Will Always Love You" singer ended, she found love again with her wife, Lisa Hintelmann, who Robyn Crawford revealed helped her move on from her relationship with Whitney Houston.
How Lisa Hintelmann and Robyn Crawford's Love Story Began
Hintelmann met her future wife while working as a publicist, and in her book, Crawford revealed the two women had been speaking on the phone for a while before they met and fell in love. Although there were no reports of their wedding at the time of publication, both women have appeared wearing wedding bands.
In 2016, Crawford turned to Facebook to share a snap of her and Hintelmann and sported a silver ring on her left hand. In 2021, Hintelmann also appeared in a photo with a band on her left hand. Crawford sweetly writes of her wife in her book:
"My endless love, Lisa. I still see your face from the first time we met, and I draped my scarf around your neck. You are everything [...]."

Lisa Hintelmann Initially Did Not Want to Have Children
In her book, Hintelmann's wife revealed that the publicist did not see herself having children during her days as a young New Yorker. However, after Hintelmann's sister welcomed a daughter, Crawford's wife had a change of heart.
The couple was on a romantic getaway when they decided to build a family and have since welcomed twins, a boy and a girl. In March 2022, Hintelmann's wife took to Instagram to celebrate their children's 6th birthday and shared a photo dump of the twins.
Hintelmann and her wife's relationship blossomed just as Houston left Crawford's life.
"Time flies," Crawford captioned the post, followed by two red hearts. In July 2022, Hintelmann's wife shared three sweet pictures of her and their son in each other's embrace. In November, the family of four wore smiles as they posed for the camera in the photo Hintelmann's wife posted on social media.
Robyn Crawford's Wife Encouraged Her to Go to Therapy Following Her Relationship with Whitney Houston
In 2019, nearly a decade after Whitney Houston had died, Crawford told how they were not only close friends but lovers. However, due to hardships and complications during their secret relationship, the pair had not been in contact for years before Houston's death.
By the time the singer had died, Hintelmann and Crawford were married with children. During an interview, Crawford revealed Hintelmann had played a pivotal role in helping her future wife get over Houston.
"She encouraged me to go to therapy. 'Either go to therapy, or this ain't happening' – that's what she said. And it was clear I needed to help myself," Crawford said. Hintelmann and her wife's relationship blossomed just as Houston left Crawford's life. And the couple's relationship has since stood the test of time.
