The nuptials come nearly a year after Brown, 34, hinted at his upcoming wedding on Instagram.

"Hey everybody! I wanted to let y'all guys know, that very soon I will be a married man!!!!" he captioned a selfie of him and Adams in February. "Be sure to check out the new season of Alaskan Bush People and all your questions will be answered!!!! Thank you everyone for all your support!!!! God bless!!!"

The couple first got engaged in August 2019, but just two weeks later, they "made the difficult decision to part ways as a couple," Brown told PEOPLE at the time.

One day later, they announced that Adams was expecting and by that October, had decided to give their relationship another shot. They would eventually split again, but in September 2020 they reconciled once more after Brown said he held River, then 6 months, for the first time.

"I have some awesome news I'd like to share with everyone," he wrote on Instagram at the time. "After meeting River in person and seeing Raiven again we found out that we both still have feelings for each other, so we've decided that instead of being co-parents we are going to be just parents!"
