AceShowbiz - Alaskan Bush People star Ami Brown has exciting news to share with fans: she is expecting her eleventh grandchild. Despite the many challenges the family has faced over the years, this joyful announcement marks a special milestone for the Browns.
The reality series Alaskan Bush People introduced viewers to the Brown family back in 2014, showcasing their unique lifestyle as they lived off the grid in Hoonah, Alaska. The family originally included parents Billy and Ami Brown and their children: Matt, Joshua “Bam Bam,” Bear, Gabe, Noah, Snowbird (Bird), and Rain. Over time, the show also featured the spouses of the Brown siblings, capturing the dynamics of their isolated but resilient family life.
Tragedy struck the family when Billy Brown passed away in 2021, a loss that deeply affected the Browns and their fans. Since then, Ami Brown has been seen with a new partner, signaling a new chapter in her life. Meanwhile, some of the Brown children, including Noah and Bear, have separated from their spouses. Despite these changes, the family continues to grow, currently welcoming ten grandchildren.
The latest announcement comes from Ami Brown, who revealed that her daughter Rain Brown is expecting her first child with husband Josiah Lorton. The couple, who married in 2025, had a turbulent past that included an arrest together, but they appear to be moving forward positively. Ami shared a sonogram on social media with the caption:
“My baby girl, Rain, is having a baby!!! Grandbaby Number Eleven, Coming Soon!”
The post indicated that the baby’s due date is February 3rd, and at the time of posting, Rain was eleven weeks and two days pregnant. Fans of Alaskan Bush People responded with enthusiasm and heartfelt congratulations, happy to hear such uplifting news after a period of family struggles and loss.
