Ray J has hinted he could rekindle his romance with Whitney Houston, explaining the pair "understand each other".
The stars shocked showbiz in 2007 when it was revealed they were secretly dating - an on/off relationship that is rumoured to have continued until this year (09).
The singers have gone their separate ways for now, while Houston, 46, masterminds her comeback and Ray J, 28, promotes the second season of his dating show For the Love of Ray J.
But the star - who famously shot a sex tape with socialite Kim Kardashian - insists they're still close.
He tells Us Weekly magazine, "We still hang out, we're friends."
And he hints their close bond means a romance is always on the cards: "We understand each other and always will."
