In a stunning yet gentle revelation, Bear Brown of Alaskan Bush People has officially announced the end of his marriage to Raiven Brown. After years of ups and downs played out both on television and social media, the couple is calling it quits—again. The announcement came directly from Bear himself, via an emotional Instagram post.
“Raiven and I have decided to separate,” he wrote. “We are still good friends and will be co-parenting together. It’s something we have been discussing for a while, and we feel it is the best thing to do for us and our children.” He added, “There are no hard feelings between us, and we will always have love for each other.”
The message, while composed, echoed a tone of quiet heartbreak. And fans? They were quick to respond—with heartbreak, disbelief, and a flood of well-wishes.
Alaskan Bush People: Fans Left Shaken and Confused
The comment section exploded with emotional reactions. Many expressed sadness and support, while others couldn’t help but point out the whiplash from recent posts. Just weeks ago, the couple had shared updates about settling into a new property and planning a garden. “So sad! Just a month ago, y’all posted a sweet video of how excited you both were to get settled up the mountain,” one fan wrote, echoing the confusion felt by many.
“Y’all looked so happy,” another added, “and now this? It’s hard to believe.”
Several followers admitted this wasn’t the first time they’ve seen a breakup from the couple. “Again? Sorry to hear,” one fan remarked, while another noted, “They did this like every month a few years back.” The pattern has made some viewers question the sincerity of the announcement, though many still sent prayers and warm words.

One of the most discussed revelations from the comment section wasn’t just about Bear and Raiven—it was about the broader Brown family. Followers quickly pointed out that this news comes on the heels of Bear’s brother Noah also confirming his separation.
“Both brothers separated at the same time?” asked one stunned fan. Another wrote, “Aww… first Noah, and now you. 😢 I wish you the best.” Speculation grew rapidly. “What is happening to the Brown families?” one commenter asked, while another warned, “None of you can keep a marriage for more than minutes! Your father would be so disappointed.”
Fans have noticed that the Brown boys are struggling with stability in their personal lives. This could be a coincidence or part of a bigger issue in the family’s off-grid dynamic.

Reactions were split down the middle. Many offered sympathy and support. “So sorry, Bear. Praying for your family 🙏💜,” wrote one commenter. Another added, “Love is worth fighting for. My husband and I have been married 34 years. Don’t give up on something sacred.”
But others were more skeptical, or even frustrated. “This is one of the saddest things to read today,” a fan wrote, “but some of y’all need to stop playing emotional games online.” A few even referenced Bear’s recent April Fool’s prank, suggesting the news didn’t feel genuine at first. “This is where the adage of the ‘boy who cried wolf’ comes in,” one user explained.
Despite all the emotional noise, Bear made it clear: “This is a mutual discussion, so please be respectful to Raiven and don’t be hateful.” That line has since been praised for its maturity and grace amid the breakup buzz.

Now that the separation has been confirmed, fans are wondering what’s next. Some believe the two will reconcile again, as they’ve done before. “You’ll be back together in a week or two,” said one confident fan. Another predicted the usual pattern: “The drama never ends! In two months you will announce the imminent arrival of another child, followed by a brief reconciliation… then another sad breakup.”
Others hope for a peaceful transition into co-parenting. “Hard decisions are sometimes best made for all involved,” wrote one follower. “Glad to hear you can separate from a place of love & respect.”
The children remain the priority, and many comments expressed that sentiment. “Two happy parents are better than two miserable ones,” a fan observed.
