Stephen Bear Announces Pregnancy with Teen Wife Miami
Convicted sex offender and former television personality Stephen Bear, aged 36, has publicly announced that he is expecting a child with his 19-year-old wife, Miami. The couple revealed the news in an enthusiastic Instagram video, confirming that Miami is three months pregnant. Bear expressed overwhelming joy, stating he is "over the moon" about the impending arrival.
Bear's Controversial Past and Legal Troubles
Stephen Bear first gained fame through reality television appearances on shows like Shipwrecked in 2011, Ex on the Beach in 2015, and Celebrity Big Brother, which he won in 2016. However, his career took a dark turn in January 2021 when he was arrested for uploading private CCTV footage of himself engaging in sexual activity with his ex-girlfriend, Georgia Harrison, to his OnlyFans account without her consent.
In May 2021, Bear faced charges including voyeurism, disclosing private sexual photographs and films with intent to cause distress, and harassment without violence. Despite pleading not guilty, he was convicted in December 2022. In March 2023, he began serving a 21-month prison sentence but was released early in January 2024 after serving only 10 months.
Life After Prison: Relocation to Brazil and Marriage
Following his early release, Bear relocated to Brazil, where he now resides with his wife Miami. The couple married last year when Miami was 18 years old, though details of how they met remain undisclosed. In social media posts from Brazil, Bear has been vocal about his new life, claiming, "The police can’t catch me now," and expressing relief that his legal conditions have been lifted.
Bear continues to earn a living by sharing explicit videos on OnlyFans, charging $20 (£15) per video. He and Miami live together in an apartment, frequently posting content about their daily lives, including vlogs, sketches, and dancing clips.
Pregnancy Announcement and Future Plans
In the Instagram announcement video, Bear and Miami cheered excitedly as they shared the pregnancy news. Bear explained that they waited until the three-month mark to announce, as advised by their doctor, who confirmed the baby is "fit and healthy." The couple has decided not to learn the baby's sex beforehand.
Bear humorously noted that because he is English and "really good at football," while Miami is Brazilian, they have decided their child will play for the Brazilian national team. Miami proudly displayed a yellow baby sleepsuit with the team's logo and the name "Bear" on the back during the video. The clip also included footage from a prenatal scan, with the baby's heartbeat audible in the background.
Impact on Georgia Harrison and Advocacy Work
Georgia Harrison, Bear's ex-girlfriend and the victim in his revenge porn case, waived her right to anonymity during his criminal and civil proceedings. Since the incident, Harrison has become a prominent advocate against revenge porn, using her platform to raise awareness and demand better support for victims.
Harrison donated part of the £207,900 compensation she received from Bear to charities that supported her after the ordeal. She has also fronted documentaries such as Revenge Porn: Georgia vs Bear in 2023 and Georgia Harrison: Porn, Power, Profit in 2025. In recognition of her efforts, she was appointed an MBE last year for her services to preventing violence against women and girls and campaigning against cybercrime.
Broader Context and Public Reaction
Bear's announcement has sparked mixed reactions online, given his criminal history and the age gap between him and his wife. His move to Brazil and continued online presence have kept him in the public eye, despite his conviction. The case highlights ongoing issues around revenge porn, digital consent, and the challenges victims face in seeking justice.
As Bear and Miami prepare for parenthood, the story underscores the complex intersections of celebrity culture, legal accountability, and personal redemption. Harrison's advocacy work continues to shed light on the lasting impacts of such crimes, emphasizing the need for stronger legal protections and societal awareness.
