6 million ran but also disrupted their way of life as the family had to find Safe Haven in hotels a strange lifestyle they were not used to just when bear was trying to push forward and rebuild his life and another tragedy struck during Raven’s second pregnancy she spent much of her time in Texas alone with the Sun River while bear remained in Alaska the decision for Raven to stay back in Texas was due to the high-risk nature of her pregnancy and so that they could move closer to a good hospital with a neonatal Intensive Care Unit something

rare in their home state bear finally joined her just in time for the birth of their second child’s Cove but he didn’t stay long after that leaving Texas before the spring storm season hits now bear is back in Texas but this time he’s witnessing the full Fury of the storm season fortunately for them their move to Texas was a fruitful one as his wife gave birth safely just the day after his birth Raven shared an update with her friends and followers about her baby’s Health unfortunately Cove the newborn was diagnosed with premature infant lung

disease a condition that requires intensive care Raven explained on her in Instagram post that Cove had been doing exceptionally well despite the challenges he faced born at 38 weeks it was uncommon for a baby at that stage to have such a condition but Cove was one of those rare cases luckily for the family Cove stay in the NICU was short as they left the hospital earlier than expected Bear’s family moved to Texas was driven by necessity but it brought with it new experiences and concerns unlike the cold and isolated environment

of Alaska Texas has a much warmer climate and as bear quickly learned much more intense weather patterns during his stay bear spoke about the terrifying storms that had swept through Texas where he and Raven are currently staying there has been a super bad storm here for the past 3 days there is actually a flood warning going on right now the storms brought with them something bear wasn’t used to lightning in Alaska where bear lived he’d never experienced lightning firsthand but in Texas he saw it up close and personal along with the

Thunder heavy rains and tornadoes that struck close to where they live bear known for his rugged Alaskan Adventures now finds himself in an unfamiliar territory both geographically and emotionally this time he’s not just facing the challenges of the wild but also the challenges of fatherhood and the anxieties of living in a state known for its unpredictable weather well the weather wasn’t the only unpredictable thing the couple’s relationship was just as unpredictable with the birth of their first son everyone had assumed things were normal

with the couple who’ve had an on andof relationship but barely 2 weeks after the birth of river Raven announced their separation Raven revealed that she had moved out of her home with bear and was co-parenting with him but not for long despite the challenges brought on by the weather the family dealt with it just well some years later bear took to his Instagram page to announce the birth of his third child although they had mixed feelings about moving to Texas it was eventually worth it since they were able

to achieve the primary reason for moving as time has passed the season’s finale a golden future had fans wondering about the fate of bear brown and that of the show for Bear Brown it seems like we’ll be seeing more of him and his growing family for now he posts on his Instagram page reminiscing memories from the show and as for the fate of the show we’ll have to wait for official word from the Discovery Channel and so far there has been no official word from the network or from the Brown family just yet this

silence is only fueled speculation among the show’s devoted fan base the uncertainty has been tough for viewers who feel so deeply connected to the Browns they want to know what’s next for the family they’ve come to love in the midst of this uncertainty the Brown family has faced additional challenges bird brown the eldest daughter suffered a health scare doctors discovered she had a borderline tumor which means the tumors aren’t cancerous but need to be removed as soon as possible sadly the two large tumors

found on her ovaries were removed surgically but she was told there is a 50% chance that the tumors will return despite these challenges the other family members appear to be moving forward in their own ways each member seems to be living their lives somewhat independently of Alaskan Bush People while some members like Matt Brown who moved to California in the 8th season for Rehab are pursuing personal projects that reflect their individual passions other members like Gabe Brown and Noah Brown are focusing on raising their own

families this could only mean one thing the Browns are not in a rush to return to the show especially without Billy guiding them the future of Alaskan Bush People Still Remains uncertain but one thing is clear the Brown family has left a significant mark on the hearts of their viewers whether or not the show continues the legacy of the Brown’s Incredible Journey will not be forgotten
