Months after their separation, Bear Brown is speaking out about his ex-wife, Raiven’s, new relationship with her girlfriend, Kaitlin Webb.
In April 2025, The Ashley reported that the Alaskan Bush People stars had separated (again) after agreeing that it’s “better to co-parent and find happiness.” Since then, Raiven has been in a relationship with a woman named Kaitlin and over the weekend, Bear took to TikTok and Instagram to share his thoughts on Raiven’s new relationship. He also discussed whether or not Raiven’s sexuality played a part in their decision to divorce.
Bear began by noting that their split was “mutual,” claiming that “when two people as a couple don’t get along and there are kids involved […] it’s best for them to go their separate ways.” Bear insisted that he and Raiven both want to do what’s best for their three children River, Cove and Everest, claiming that it’s their “top priority.”

Bear went on to say that he wants his ex to “find happiness” and that she wishes the same for him, elaborating that they’ve developed a friendship and they’re “co-parenting really well.”
“Raiven has gone above and beyond to let me spend time with the kiddos,” he explained. “She’s even brought them over and dropped them off. She invited me to her house to unwrap Christmas presents and be there with the boys, so she’s been above and beyond.”
He then pivoted to talk about Kaitlin, whom Raiven recently introduced on her Instagram page as her girlfriend. (In the comment section of a photo posted to her Instagram showing her and Kaitlin kissing, Raiven wrote that she’s been “out” since she was 17.)
“[Kaitlin’s] super nice,” Bear explained. “They make each other happy and that’s what’s important.”

He also addressed rumors speculating that Raiven’s sexuality was what drove their split.
“Raiven’s sexuality had nothing to do with our separation. That is not why we separated,” he said. “Obviously, people need to find themselves and be true to themselves, but that actually had nothing to do with our separation whatsoever.
“We just didn’t get along properly as a couple,” he continued, “but we make really good friends, and that’s really what’s important.”
He ended his video by encouraging fans to “stay positive,” and asking that nobody spreads hate to Raiven.
“Y’all guys don’t need to be leaving comments that are negative, especially negative comments like you’re defending me,” he stated. “That’s not defending me. Raiven is my friend, she’s the mother of my children, and I want her to be happy. She is happy right now, so don’t try to bust her down.”

After Bear posted his video to social media, Raiven posted on Instagram Stories about her custody situation with Bear.
“Bear lives on my [parents’] property,” she explained. “I agreed to custody before even going to court [and] I drive four hours a week to make sure [the kids] see their Dad.”
She agreed with Bear that they “co-parent peacefully and kindly for my boys.”
She ended her post saying, “I can miss my kids and still process and understand the importance of having their dad in their life.”

On Sunday, she posted on TikTok explaining that, overall, she’s dated more women than men and Bear knew that before they began dating.
“We tried to work things out for my kids, have a family,” she said. “I did my best, and I have a lot of good memories throughout those years and I have three beautiful children, he has three beautiful children, and we have the opportunity to be great friends and great co-parents.
“…a lot of people think I used [Bear] for money,” she continued. “I didn’t get money. A lot of people think that because he was on TV he has a lot of money. You’re wrong.”

Bear and Raiven are not the only couple from ‘Alaskan Bush People’ who are currently in the middle of a divorce. As The Ashley previously reported, Bear’s brother Noah split from his wife Rhain last year and is currently trying to fight her for custody of their two sons. He recently asked his social media followers to donate money to him to help pay for a lawyer to help in his custody fight. Currently, his fundraiser has raised just over $3400.

Seems like they’re finally getting along. Good for them
I have two baby daddies- yes, I never saw that for myself but it is what it is. The father of my twin boys, who is also my ex husband, and I have always co-parented. He still comes to my house for holidays. He stops by the house all the time. We are both sober and in fact go to AA meetings together even. The father of my youngest, really did me dirty when I was pregnant with our son. It’s too much to explain but let’s just say I know 90% of women, if they had happen to them what he did to me, they would likely not allow him to see the child. However… I put my son first. His dad is a crappy partner but is a good dad. And my child deserves to know both parents. His dad rarely pays support- I still don’t hold my son from him because of that. I think Bear and Raiven are doing well in the situation- they seemed to be much more volatile in the past from what I remember so this seems to be a good thing. I hope they are both able to continue co-parenting amicably.
Are you sure he’s not doing to your son what he did to you? Whatever it was
Fake show, reaL idiots
Bear, you weren’t getting along as a couple even before you got married had your first kid. She accused you of awful things and then YOU accused HER of awful things, and all the same you went along and had 2 more kids together. You two are idiots and I pity your kids.
Well to be fair…some of us only LET our exes see the kids because we are forced to by the courts, NOT because it’s a good place for the kids to be. So yeah, I let my ex see his kids when inside it was killing me because he didn’t deserve to see them and messed with their heads and hearts for years. Just because you can have sex and make a baby does not make you a worthy or good parent or deserving to be in a kid’s life. The courts try waaaaay too hard to keep toxic parents in a kid’s life just because of biological ties.
Wth? Why are you making this about you? Cringe. She said she decided to let him see them even before they went to court. Sounds like they get along like adults and put the kids first instead of being petty..
So cringe.
Don’t know this people, but I can respect anyone that recognizes that their kids are better off with them not together. Too many parents use the excuse of “staying together for the kids” when really, they’re just afraid of being alone. The kids know you’re unhappy and it’s messing with their view of a marriage. It will do them irreparable harm to stay together and hate each other. But sure, you’re “doing it for them”
I really don’t understand the thought process of taking the time to go to someone’s social media page to critique their sexuality. Seems that same energy could have been used for something that’s actually useful.
It really bothers me when a parent says the other “LET” them see the kids or have the kids because they are just as much the fathers child as it is the mother’s. It is also ashame to have to say she dropped them off to spend time with Bear because that should be normal. She isn’t doing favors she’s doing what is right.
