Two weeks after announcing their engagement and a day after announcing they had called off said-engagement, Alaskan Bush People star Bear Brown and his ex-fiancé Raiven Adams have revealed they are expecting a child.
Raiven shared the big news on her private Instagram account with a photo of a positive pregnancy test along with a onesie reading “newest member of the pack.”
In her post, Raiven confirmed that the pregnancy was a surprise and despite she and Bear no longer being together, they’re both looking forward to co-parenting as friends and excited to find out the gender of their baby.
“Quickly after deciding friendship was best for us we found out we had a little surprise coming our way,” her caption read. “After a quick engagement because we felt that was the right thing to do we talked about things, and ultimately decided being co-parents was best for us as well as our baby. We are super excited, and surprised to announce this especially due to current events. We are excited to co-parents as friends, and do our best to be the best we can be.”
In another post, Raiven fired back at the “hateful people” who she said will trash her online regardless of what she says, noting that she did not care to explain her sexuality nor how “all this came into play,” assumingely referring to her and Bear’s split.
” … I’ve realized I’m simply supplying you with ammunition,” she said. “So you can trash my name. Because reasons you think are fit based off the 10% knowledge you have of me. I will no longer explain myself as I can see you don’t want the truth, you want drama and attention and I have no time for that.”
Bear also spoke up in Raiven’s defense this week when revealing that the two had called off their engagement. On Instagram, he asked that fans “let her be,” adding that Raiven “has a huge heart and really cares what everybody thinks.”
News of the couple’s engagement was revealed to the public August 28 by way of the official ‘Alaskan Bush People’ Instagram page, which included a link to a special video from the couple talking about the engagement.
On Thursday, the show’s social media page posted an updated congratulatory message to the parents to-be that included a statement from Bear himself.
“Raiven will be an amazing mom and I will work my hardest to be the best dad I can be,” he said.
Bear went on to tell People that the baby is expected to be born in Spring 2020.
“Raiven and I are excited to share we’re expecting a baby this spring,” he said. “Even though we’re no longer together, we’re still friends and dedicated to raising a healthy and happy child.”

Can you say “ Child Support Payments “ ? I have an idea she is already counting the amount of money .
Bear you’re acting very mature that’s a great way to be. Have a child takes more than money spending time,coaching,support,and having a steady positive relationship with baby mama. Children understand and feel from the day there born. Please give that baby all the love and the grandparents play a Key role. You’ll see good lick to the both of you
To be honest, I applaud them for deciding what is the best thing for the child and not stay together just for the sake of it. A lot of couples get back together then and they’re miserable, cheating comes etc. And then there are those who block each other on social media and dad never realizes he made a child with his ex. Browns are an amazing family and this kid will have a lot of uncles and aunts who will love him/her, not to mention grandparents! And no, I don’t think Bear will ever forget this child even if he marries and has kids with someone else. It’s called GOOD co-parenting that has NOTHING to do with parents breaking up!
Y’all need to decide you are “better as friends” before getting pregnant. Seriously, does no one use birth control anymore?
At least they had it together enough to realize before they went through with it that getting hitched just because they are having a kid together isn’t a good enough reason unlike several of the 16 and pregnant kids.
So they broke up, learned they were pregnant, got engaged, broke up again, and then publicly announced the pregnancy. All within a few weeks.
That’s nice that they plan to coparent together in a healthy way. Bet – in 2 years they will be contentious and barely speaking and each have a kid with someone else.
Idk who these kids are but they need to get their sh!t together.
