In the sneak peek video clip, Bobbi Kristina nervously announces "We're engaged!" to family members and many of them object to the controversial romance. Despite widespread assumptions that she was serious, it is now suspected that the teen may have been joking.
The engagement speculation comes six months after it was revealed that a number of Houston family members are apprehensive about Bobbi Kristina's relationship with Gordon.
Gordon, who was reportedly taken in by the late Whitney Houston as a child but never legally adopted, has been accused of preying on Bobbi Kristina during her vulnerable state. The teen has reportedly struggled with her late mother's passing ever since it occurred on Feb. 11.
"Everyone is worried that Nick is looking to take advantage of Krissy," a source reportedly told Star magazine with reference to Bobbi Kristina's multimillion dollar inheritance.
Bobbi Kristina is reportedly set to inherit Whitney's estimated $10 million estate; money, furniture, clothing, personal effects, jewelry and cars will become hers when she turns 21, according to a 19-page court document obtained by Inside Edition.
Some critics fear that marrying Gordon could jeopardize Bobbi Kristina's finances, as he would be granted legal access to everything unless they were to sign a prenuptial agreement, which some doubt she would do.
"[Bobbi's] taking prescription pills ... Nick is getting her at her most vulnerable. If he really loved her, he'd back off the engagement and just be her friend," the source previously said.
