Stephen Bear, a former reality TV personality, has announced his marriage to his 18-year-old Brazilian girlfriend, Miami — just over a year after being released from prison following a high-profile case involving the unauthorized sharing of private content.
Bear shared several images and videos from the ceremony on Instagram, where he wore a pink suit and captioned one photo, “MY WEDDING. MR AND MRS BEAR.” The footage showed Bear lifting his new bride on the dance floor while singing Can’t Take My Eyes Off You by Frankie Valli.
The couple wore themed glasses reading “Noivo” and “Noiva,” Portuguese for groom and bride, and showcased their wedding cake featuring figurines of themselves. The wedding appeared to be a small event, with few visible guests in the reception hall.
It's unclear when the couple first met. However, in January, Bear revealed he had relocated to Brazil, stating in a video: “Life's good… I’m in Brazil now, and I’m ready to enjoy life again.” He introduced Miami in the same clip, referring to her as his 18-year-old girlfriend and expressing excitement about future music and business ventures in the country.
Bear had previously served 10 months of a 21-month sentence related to a conviction involving the sharing of intimate content without consent. He was also ordered to pay compensation in both criminal and civil court rulings.
Since his release, Bear has tried to rebuild financially, including launching a tracksuit line. Meanwhile, Georgia Harrison — who was at the center of the case — has become an advocate for stronger protections against the sharing of private content, using her platform to raise awareness and push for legislative change.
