Publicist Nancy Seltzer declined to reveal where or when Houston filed the divorce papers, and said the singer had no statement to make.
"I can just confirm that she has filed for divorce," Seltzer said.
Houston and Brown, who wed in 1992, have had a sometimes tumultuous marriage, and rumors of their breakup have surfaced often over the years. The couple believed live in Alpharetta, Ga.
The couple have one child, a 13-year-old daughter , Bobbi Kristina.
Houston, 43, had her greatest musical success in the 1980s and '90s when she had several No. 1 records on Billboard's Hot 100 including the megahit "I Will Always Love You," from the 1992 film "The Bodyguard," in which she also starred opposite Kevin Costner.
In recent years she's been an executive producer on the popular Raven-Symone films "The Cheetah Girls" and "The Cheetah Girls 2."
Her musician husband recently reunited with his old soul group New Edition for a show at July's Essence Musical Festival. The show got mixed reviews from the audience when Brown jumped suggestively around the stage and made vulgar remarks about his sex life with Houston.
Brown, 37, has had a history of drug and alcohol arrests and was sentenced to 90 days in jail in 2004 for missing three months of child support payments for two other children.
He was arrested in March on minor motor-vehicle violations dating back 14 years when he visited Webster, Mass., to watch one of his children take part in a cheerleading tournament.

- (I)We Love you Whitney and Bobby. It's a shame alot of people strive on others problems and misfortunes. I'm sure they have problems of their own. No matter what the outcome, I wish you two the best. I will always be a fan of both of you whether your together or not. It hurts me so to see two beautiful people who brought so much joy and happinest to so many peoples lives seperate after so many years of spotlight drama. I just hope the media and the drama has not brought this on, but I wouldnt be surprised at all if it has. Its hard I know, not that I'm a star by any means. I just know how the media and the drama they bring can be too much for any one person. May the good lord continue to watch over you and your beautiful children. Fan For Life. Greg!

- Things happen for a reason; it's about time. Some of us are lucky to get second chances in life; this is Whitney's.
Remember, Whitney, live from you heart and not your head. When you live out of your head you create a great deal of stress, anxiety and franticness. Try as much as possible to bypass your mind, ego, personality and mental body and live from your heart. When you live from your heart life becomes what you want it to be: very simple and very easy. My sincere best. - Reply to this comment
