LOVE AGAIN Alaskan Bush People widow Ami Brown introduces fans to her new ‘husband’ 5 years after Billy’s tragic death
ALASKAN BUSH PEOPLE widow Ami Brown has introduced fans to her new “husband”, five years after the tragic death of her long-time spouse Billy.
The patriarch passed away in February 2021, aged 68, from a seizure, leaving Ami and their seven children devastated.
However, the television personality appears to have found love again as she took to Instagram to share a picture with her new partner who she referred to as her “husband”.
She shared a photo of herself along with her daughter Rain, son-in-law Josiah and a man called DJ.
In the picture, DJ is seen with his arm wrapped around Ami as they stand next to Rain and Josiah while standing in the snow, with the sunshine beaming through behind them.
The reality star captioned the post: “Rain, Josiah, my husband, DJ and I.”
Ami didn’t reveal anymore information about her new man and if she has actually gotten married again.
Her fans flocked to the comments section as one person expressed: “Omggg you got married?!! Congratulations.”
Another social media user penned: “Oh my goodness!!!!! Congratulations to you!! I know we’re not entitled to details but I’d love to know more!!”
Somebody else said: “Absolutely outstanding Ami, you deserve to be with someone who makes you happy again. Good for you.”
While a fifth eagle-eyed fan spotted: “Ami and DJ both have wedding bands on if you zoom in. This is her husband.”
Ami and Billy, along with their children, Matt, Bam Bam, Bear, Gabe, Noah, Snowbird and Rain shot to fame on Alaskan Bush People when it first premiered on the Discovery Channel back in 2014.
It follows the Brown family in an attempt to survive in the remote wilderness, apart from modern society.
It has aired 14 seasons, with the last instalment airing in December 2022.
At the time of Billy’s tragic passing, his family took to Instagram to reveal the heartbreaking news.
They wrote: “We are heartbroken to announce that our beloved patriarch Billy Brown passed away last night after suffering from a seizure.
“He was our best friend – a wonderful and loving dad, granddad and husband and he will be dearly missed. He lived his life on his terms, off the grid and off the land and taught us to live like that as well.
“We plan to honor his legacy going forward, and to continue with his dream.”
The family also asked for “privacy and prayers” during the difficult time.
Prior to his death, Billy had been in and out of hospital and was previously told by medical professionals that the high altitude wasn’t good for him.
He decided to defy doctor’s orders and continue to live in the mountains with his family.
Ami has had her own health battles after beating stage 3 lung cancer in 2017 as well as being hospitalized with pneumonia in 2020.
