Convicted sex offender Stephen Bear set to become a dad for the first time

Convicted sex offender Stephen Bear has announced he and his 18-year-old girlfriend are expecting their first child.

The 35-year-old former Celebrity Big Brother star was jailed for 21 months after sharing a sex tape involving his Love Island ex-girlfriend Georgia Harrison. He was freed after serving half his sentence in HMP Brixton

Taking to social media, he shared the announcement with fans, writing: “Very excited to announce me and my beautiful wife are having a baby!!! Can’t wait to be a dad.” In the accompanying video, he added: “Hi guys, today we’re going to share with you some really exciting news that’s been going on in our lives. Shall I say it or do you want to say it?”

His wife then adds: “Guys, we have a baby,” as Stephen cheered. He then shared: “We can confirm the baby is three months old, the doctor says it’s fit and healthy. I’ve been wanting to tell you lot for a few weeks but it has to be three months old before we announce the news. I’m over the moon. We’re not gonna find out the sex of the baby yet, but because I’m English and you are Brazilian and because I’m really good at football, we’ve decided our baby is going to play for the Brazilian national football team.”

They then held up a tiny babygro of the Brazilian football team and on the back it said ‘Bear’ and the number nine. “Guys, there’s a new Bear on the way!” he said. They also shared footage of Miami having a scan and the baby’s heartbeat.

Bear was jailed for 21 months in March 2023 after being found guilty of voyeurism by a majority verdict and guilty to two counts of disclosing private sexual photographs and films with intent to cause distress by a unanimous verdict by a jury.

During the sentencing, the Celebrity Big Brother winner was given a restraining order and told not to contact Georgia for five years and was also ordered to sign the sex offenders register.

He was released in January 2024 after serving just half his time in prison. In March 2024, he was ordered to pay £22,305, which would be given to HM Treasury and distributed to police charities, and was also ordered to pay £5,000 in compensation to Georgia for emotional and financial distress.

In January last year, Bear taunted the police as he posted a video from Brazil with his new 18-year-old partner. In the horrifying video, he said: “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. 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. They can’t catch me now. Catch me if you can.”
