Nick Gordon denied reports he is taking legal action to see Bobbi Kristina Brown

"He remains in constant prayer for his companion and he hopes to be reunited with her soon. "Despite the incredible public interest, we ask and hope that this matter can be resolved privately by Mr Gordon and the family." Bobbi Kristina's family, including her father Bobby Brown and grandmother Cissy Houston, have been by her bedside since she was found unconscious in a bath on 31 January. It's believed that Nick has not visited Bobbi Kristina since she was transferred to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta on 2 February, amid increasing reports of tension between Nick and the rest of the family. This week, the Roswell Police Department confirmed that they are conducting a criminal investigation into the night Bobbi Kristina was found.
