Just two weeks later, they called it quits.

Raiven continued: "The drama, the articles the harassment."

How many children do Bear Brown and Raiven Adams have together?
Raiven gave birth to River Brown on March 9, 2020.
River Anthony was born prematurely.
In a bitter court battle, Raiven demanded sole custody of their son after Bear filed for joint custody, alongside confirmation that he was the father of the young boy.
Raiven's court filing read: “It is in the best interests of the minor child that defendant Raiven Adams have sole legal custody of the minor child.”
The documents also read it is in River’s best interests for Raiven to have “primary physical custody of the minor child.”
She asked for Bear to have “restricted visitation” with his son.
The Sun exclusively revealed that just days after Raiven gave birth, Bear filed papers claiming he wasn't the legal father of the newborn.
The petition would have freed Bear of the obligation to pay child support and other financial responsibilities.
However, the Discovery Channel star later demanded joint custody of River if a DNA test proved he is the father.
Bear claimed his first filing was a “court error.”
Bear took to Instagram to express his discontent, claiming that he was trying to gain "equal rights" as the child's father.
“Hello everyone! There is something I would like to say! 1. It was two days after River was born before anyone told me! 2. I am not trying to un-establish myself as River’s dad, I am trying to establish myself AS his dad, so that I will have equal rights as a parent!” Brown explained.
Brown added, “When my petition was filed there was a mistake in the order, it was supposed to say I’m trying to establish myself as Rivers ad! NOT un-establish! Please check the court records and you will find the mistake has been rectified. I will always consider myself Rivers dad! Thank you everybody for sticking with me! Stay healthy and God bless!”
His net worth is a far cry from his parents Billy Bryan Brown and Amora "Ami" Brown, who are both said to be worth half a million dollars.
Bear is one of seven siblings in the Brown clan.
