TRAGIC TIMES
Back in 2021, Bear was the one to confirm his father’s death on social media.
At the time, Bear had written: “We are heartbroken to announce that our beloved patriarch Billy Brown passed away last night after suffering from a seizure.
“He was our best friend – a wonderful and loving dad, granddad and husband and he will be dearly missed. He lived his life on his terms, off the grid and off the land and taught us to live like that as well.

BEAR’S STRUGGLE
Bear isn’t only mourning his father, but also the end of his marriage.
His ex-wife, Raiven, shared on her social media Friday that she and Bear have called it quits just weeks before their second son is due to be born.
The couple have barely been married for a full year as the pair got hitched in January 2022.
Raiven took to her Instagram to share the sad news with her fans.
She posted: “Bear and I have separated. I am putting my health and my children first.”
The ABP star then elaborated and shared the two plan to continue to co-parent, especially with her second son on the way.
She shared: “We will be co-parenting, no drama, and I won’t be sharing info past this point.
“Our kids will be well taken care of.”
Raiven announced she was pregnant with their second child four months after their wedding.
The star did not reveal a reason behind their divorce and declared the singular statement is all she plans on sharing.
DIFFICULT TIMES
However, their honeymoon months have been on the rocks.
Bear was arrested for domestic violence assault in the fourth degree on March 11, 2022.
At the end of April, The Sun exclusively revealed that he has accepted a plea deal and reconciled with Raiven.
