The relationship is said to have taken place six years after her alleged secret affair with Jermaine Jackson.
"I loved Michael so much but I finally feel it's time to get everything that horrified and upset me over the years off my chest," Fiddles told The Sun.
"I also know this affair will end all the myths that Michael was some kind of child molester - he was a straight man."
He continued: "One of the many stories that has never been told about Michael is that he had an ultra-secret affair with Whitney Houston that he never got over.
"He was furious when he heard she had also slept with Jermaine but this didn't stop him holding a candle for her his whole life.
"They met because they were two of the biggest recording artists on the planet and mixing in the same circles. They instantly connected as kindred spirits because they understood each other's massive fame.
"Whitney practically moved in to Michael's ranch and they had a fling like any other young couple. But Michael said later he had always hoped the relationship had gone further, and I know he dreamed of marrying her."

The relationship reportedly lasted only two weeks, with Whitney marrying Bobby Brown a year later. They were later reunited at Michael's anniversary concerts at New York's Madison Square Garden in 2001.
Fiddles added: "They were both a mess, to be honest. They shared what would be their final hugs and Michael begged Whitney to get off the drugs that were destroying her life.
"The two of them whispered that they loved each other as they hugged. The emotion was written all over their faces."
Fiddles also claimed that he may be the biological father of Michael's son Blanket, saying he donated sperm to the singer in order for him to "create an athletic child".
The Jackson 5 recently suggested that they are interested in creating a Michael Jackson hologram for a reunion tour in the future.

Why oh why do people fabricate these silly affair stories prior to the person's death? It may be interesting, but it doesn't make it true. How are we supposed to believe that they had a thing going; its common knowledge that both MJ and Whitney were pretty much confused in their lives, especially with their sexuality. Whitney was definitely bi, but probably closeted. Bobby Brown even admitted she only married him when the rumours about her orientation were threatening her career. MJ was forced into his own supposed marriage to Lisa Marie Presley to make him seem vaguely normal, in reality it drew attention to his sexuality when they were questioned of their marital activities. He came across as too childlike to be sexually active, so it was unlikely that there was anything beyond friendship between them.

This is a made-up story sold to the tabloids. The speck of truth in it is buried for the mountain of lies.
