Stephen Bear set to become a dad after jail release and conviction
When stephen bear held up a tiny Brazilian football babygro and announced that he and his 18-year-old girlfriend are expecting their first child, the moment landed on social media as a personal milestone. It connects to a longer legal arc for the 35-year-old who was jailed in March 2023 and released in January 2024.
Stephen Bear and Miami reveal a three-month pregnancy and babygro moment
The couple shared a video in which they said the baby is three months old and the doctor had described it as “fit and healthy. ” In the clip, his partner says, “Guys, we have a baby, ” while Stephen Bear cheered and held up a miniature Brazilian team babygro stamped with “Bear” and the number nine.
They also showed footage of a scan and the baby’s heartbeat, and said they will not find out the sex yet. In the announcement Stephen called his partner his “beautiful wife” and joked the child will play for the Brazilian national football team because he is English, she is Brazilian, and he is “really good at football. “
March 2023 conviction, Georgia Harrison and the HMP Brixton sentence
In March 2023, a jury found the former reality television contestant guilty of voyeurism by a majority verdict and guilty of two counts of disclosing private sexual photographs and films with intent to cause distress by a unanimous verdict. The conviction related to material involving Georgia Harrison.
He was sentenced to 21 months and given a restraining order that barred contact with Georgia for five years. The sentence also included an order to sign the sex offenders register; he served part of his sentence at HMP Brixton before his release.
January 2024 release, March 2024 payments to HM Treasury and earlier conduct in Brazil
Bear was released in January 2024 after serving half of his 21-month sentence. In March 2024 he was ordered to pay £22, 305 to be given to HM Treasury and allocated to police charities, and to pay £5, 000 in compensation for emotional and financial distress to Georgia Harrison.
Earlier behaviour that drew attention included a video posted in which he said he was in Brazil and taunted police, saying: “The police can’t catch me now. Life’s good. ” That clip featured his new 18-year-old partner, and it was posted before the conviction and the orders that followed.
Back at the opening image of a tiny Brazilian babygro, the announcement closed on the practical detail that the pregnancy is three months along and medically described as fit and healthy. For now, the confirmed next development from the context is that the couple will wait to learn the baby’s sex and have shared a scan and heartbeat as part of their announcement.
