Nick, 22 -who would call Whitney "Mom" - also became like a brother to the 'IWill Always Love You' hitmaker's18-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina.

And althoughWhitney - who battled drink and drug addiction - blew most of her fortune, sheis believed to have left £20 million and her family say Nick will get a share.

A sourcetold The Sun newspaper: "Nick was family, she loved him as much as anymother could love a child. If he is notwritten into her will and everything goes to Bobbi then it will only be becauseit was written before she took Nick into her family.
