A reality star who is on the sex offender’s register for a revenge porn conviction has tied the knot with his 18-year-old Brazilian girlfriend.
Disgraced British reality star Stephen Bear has married his 18-year-old Brazilian girlfriend – just 18 months after being release from jail over a revenge porn conviction.
The 35-year-old, who rose to fame after appearing on a string of popular TV shows, was ordered to sign the sex offender register after being found guilty in December 2022 of two counts of disclosing private sexual photographs and films with intent to cause distress, and two counts of voyeurism, after he leaked footage of himself and ex-girlfriend Georgia Harrison having sex.
Bear was jailed for up to 21 months for distributing the sex tape, which Harrison had no idea had been filmed, and was released on licence in January 2024 after serving just half of his sentence.
Following the completion of his licence, he introduced social media users to his “beautiful 18-year-old Latina girlfriend” in a video filmed on a beach in Brazil.
He’s now claimed to have married the teenager, whose name is still unknown, in a series of Instagram posts shared on Friday.
“MY WEDDING. MR AND MRS BEAR,” he captioned a video from the big day.

During the clip, the former Celebrity Big Brother winner could be seen picking up his new bride, whose Instagram handle is simply ‘Miami’.
In another video he could be seen singing Frank Sinatra’s ‘I Love You Baby’ as he spun her around on the dancefloor.
They didn’t appear to have many guests at the reception, according to The Sun.

It is not known how or when the couple met, but his new bride first appeared on his socials in January in a video which showed Bear boasting: “The police can’t catch me now.”
“Life’s good. I thought I’d come on here guys and say I love you all, simple as that. I love you all,” he said as he swigged from a beer bottle.
“Stay true, because this year I’m fully active, I’m off licence. The police, they could still be after me, but I’m in Brazil.
“I can be completely left alone, ready to enjoy my life now. All my conditions are just lifted.
“Now I can post on social media, that was the main condition, watch this space.”
Georgia Harrison, Bear’s sex tape victim, has become a highly-commended advocate for those who have been affected by the violating crime.
The former Only Way Is Essex star has tirelessly campaigned for stricter rules surrounding intimate image abuse and deep fakes — including working with the government on the Online Safety Act – and was recently awarded a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire — also known as an MBE — as part of the King’s Birthday Honours, which is in a similar vein to an Order of Australia Medal, for her work.

“I am beyond honoured to be listed to receive an MBE,” she said on Instagram after discovering the news last month.
“I’m so grateful to anyone who has reach out to congratulate me and also to all of you who have shared and continue to share your stories with me along the way.
“I am continuously reading them all, taking on board your experiences and using them as both fuel and knowledge for my campaigning.”
Bear was ordered to pay Harrison £27k (about $56,500 Australian Dolalrs) on top of the £207,000 ($433,000) he was told to pay her in a separate civil case after leaking and selling the video on his OnlyFans account.
