Although she didn’t mention Bobby Jr. directly, his cause of death was an overdose. The artist died five years after his sister, Bobbi Kristina Brown, died at age 22. That January, Bobbi’s boyfriend, Nick Gordon, found her in her bathtub, similar to how her mother, Whitney Houston, passed. Before she died, Bobbi had copious amounts of cocaine and alcohol in her bloodstream.

Since Bobby Jr.’s death, Anna has moved on to another relationship. In 2022, she shared a photo of her new baby, Skylar Maria Ortega, who she welcomed with a musician named Youngsta.

“Mommy hasn’t been able to stop taking pictures of me all day,” Anna captioned under a photo on Skylar’s Instagram page.
