Alaskan Bush People recently finished its 12th season, and during the show’s run, viewers have seen members of the Brown family find love and add to their family. Some of Billy Brown and Ami Brown‘s children are still in relationships, while others have called it quits. Bear Brown‘s up-and-down relationship with Raiven Adams has been the Alaskan Bush People relationship under the spotlight in recent months, and they reunited in September. Here is a look at the relationship statuses for the Brown family.
Bear’s relationship with Adams started when they met at Noah Brown‘s wedding in August 2018. In July 2019, they went public and got engaged just a month later. The relationship seemed doomed, as they split in September 2019. Later that month, Adams said she was pregnant with their first child, River. In late September 2020, Bear revealed on his private Instagram that the couple was back together after Bear finally met River in person.

“After meeting River in person and seeing Raiven again we found out that we both still have feelings for each other, so we’ve decided that instead of being co-parents we are going to be just parents,” Bear wrote. “Raiven and I have decided to give our relationship another try!” he continued. “I asked Raiven if she would be my girlfriend and she said yes!” Now that this relationship is back on, scroll on for a look at the other relationships in the Bear family.

Billy and Ami on their relationship
The toughest challenge of the Browns’ lives came in 2017 and 2018 when Ami battled advanced lung cancer. In January 2018, the couple told PEOPLE she beat cancer. Her fight proved to Billy they could overcome any challenge. “The Good Lord’s got it,” Billy told PEOPLE. “Between Him and the support of the people around us and the people on the street who see us at a red light and just give us a thumbs up or say they’re praying for us, we can get through anything.”
Bear Brown and Raiven Adams
Bear and Adams met at Noah’s wedding and have been in an on-again, off-again relationship ever since.

A few days after the two reunited, Bear revealed they were going to give their relationship another chance.
