Bear was sentenced to 21 months imprisonment for sharing a sex tape of his ex-girlfriend and Love Island star Georgia Harrison.
But the disgraced star has now announced the news of his marriage in a series of Instagram posts.
Bear wore a pink suit for the ceremony and posted to Instagram a photo of the couple, writing: "MY WEDDING . MR AND MRS BEAR."
The Celebrity Big Brother winner could be seen in one video picking up his new bride, who donned a lacy white gown.
He was also filmed singing Frankie Valli's Can't Take My Eyes Off You as he spun Miami around on the dancefloor.
It is not known exactly when the couple met.
However, in January, Bear revealed he had relocated to Brazil with his new girlfriend, boasting: "The police can't catch me now."
In a grim video shared from the beach, he bragged: "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."
Swigging a beer, he added: "I'm just chilling out, licence is finished, police is finished. 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."
Bear was caged for 21 months in March 2023 after being found guilty of voyeurism and sharing the explicit footage without consent.
He was released from prison in January 2024 just 10 months into his sentence.
Revealing his location and his girlfriend, Bear added in the video: 'I'm in Brazil, I don't know if you've heard.
'This is my 18-year-old Latina girlfriend, say hello baby.
'We just chilling, I got eight music videos I got to shoot while I'm in Brazil. Thinking of looking at some property while I'm over here.'
Bear was ordered to pay her £27k on top of the £207,000 he was told to pay Georgia in a separate civil case after leaking the video on his OnlyFans page.
The Sun later revealed he was trying to make ends meet by selling a range of tracksuits, which he bought from Temu for £11.95, and then embossed with the words 'Mexican Cartel'.
Self-proclaimed "billionaire" Bear previously claimed he was and could only afford to pay £10-a-week due to his financial struggles.

Love Island USA star Cierra Ortega makes a shock exit from the villa following offscreen racism scandal
Love Island USA 's Cierra Ortega was removed from season seven for past derogatory social media posts. Just weeks after another cast member sparked backlash for past racial slurs and was booted off of the show, she was fired when fans uncovered another offscreen racism scandal. On Sunday's episode, which aired on Peacock, narrator Iain Stirling confirmed that Ortega 'left the villa due to a personal situation' and had left Nic Vansteenberghe 'officially single.' A following scene showed him talking to Ace Green and saying he wasn't sure what he would do next — which comes just one week before the season is set to conclude. While she was filming in Fiji, sequestered from social media, a racist post from her Instagram was uncovered by Love Island fans. This comes just weeks after Yulissa Escobar departed from season seven after being introduced as an OG islander. By the beginning of the second episode, she was gone with Iain Stirling simply saying in the introduction that she had 'left the villa.' The 27-year-old real estate professional from Miami had been booted in just the third day after videos surfaced of her using the N-word in a podcast. After the swift removal of Escobar, many fans had been anticipating the same will happen with Ortega, a 25-year-old content creator from Phoenix, who arrived on Day 2. Past Instagram posts have surfaced of her using a racial slur towards Chinese people in two separate instances many years apart. One post from January 2015 showed a snap of her at the top of a mountain, using a version of the slur to describe how she smiles. There was also an Instagram story post from February 2023, showing her getting Botox treatments, again using the slur to describe her smile, and many fans are furious, calling for her immediate removal. One post from January 2015 showed a snap of her at the top of a mountain, using a version of the slur to describe how she smiles. While it remains to be seen if the show's producers will remove her like they removed Escobar, Ortega has already taken a bit hit in regards to her Instagram followers. She has lost over 200K followers in the past 48 hours after the posts first re-surfaced. Ortega was poised to potentially cross the 1 million follower mark at some point during Love Island Season 7, but her follower tally now stands at 709K. While she's currently coupled up with Nic Vansteenberghe as filming continues in Fiji, many are calling for her removal on social media. A new petition calling for her removal was started days ago, when the Instagram posts first surfaced, which currently has 6,670 verified signatures. One fan - @deannacortes - shared the petition link on X, adding, 'Send Cierra Ortega home,' with the hashtags #racist #LoveIslandUSA #stopasianhate. Another X user - @ShaneAnime1990 - insisted, 'Cierra Ortega used a racist word now we have to cancel her if she did it once she'll do it again.' Cass Rabbit (@cassrabbit) tagged both @LoveIslandUSA and @Peacock in her tweet, which read, 'Get Cierra Ortega off your show. This is now the third time I'm seeing she used the slur for asians. Y'all rightfully kicked off Yulissa for saying the n word, what about Cierra? Or does racism against asians not matter to you guys?' Another X user - @h0td1lfj0hnny - asked, 'Why has cierra not been dropped from the villa,,,, she's f***ing racist using slurs. Cass Rabbit (@cassrabbit) tagged both @LoveIslandUSA and @Peacock in her tweet, which read, 'Get Cierra Ortega off your show. This is now the third time I'm seeing she used the slur for asians.

X user @SSTARZZNE added, 'cierra better be at the BOTTOM of that vote after her racist a** got exposed #LoveIslandUSA.' Mai (@mainpopvirgo) said, 'yulissa said a racial slur (the literal nword) and was kicked out of the show (as she should) bc of the rightful outrage how is this different to cierra saying another racial slur she cannot claim' The user added, 'Yall got yulissa up out of there quick but not cierra ??? @loveislandusa #loveislandusa Cierra not been dropped from the f---ing racist using slurs.' X user @SSTARZZNE added, 'cierra better be at the BOTTOM of that vote after her racist a** got exposed #LoveIslandUSA.' Mai (@mainpopvirgo) said, 'yulissa said a racial slur (the literal nword) and was kicked out of the show (as she should) bc of the rightful outrage how is this different to cierra saying another racial slur she cannot claim.' Ortega has not yet addressed the controversy personally via her verified Instagram page.

Former MP Tim Holding weds his long-time partner in stunning ceremony at their multimillion-dollar French chateau - after asking for donations to restore the property
Tim Holding has wed Felicity Selkirk in a beautiful ceremony at their sprawling French chateau. The former MP, who was a Victorian Labor minister in the Steve Bracks and John Brumby governments, tied the knot with his fiancée on 21 June at their magnificent Château de Purnon. The couple said 'I do' in the chapel of their 237-year-old Louis XVI-style chateau, which they bought for $1.19 million in 2020 and have been restoring over the last few years. The 105-room castle is near the French village of Verrue, which has just 400 residents and is located three and a half hours outside Paris. Taking to social media, Felicity shared a glimpse into their intimate wedding ceremony and their stunning French DIY project. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'In Purnon's sublime chapel, surrounded by family and friends, we took the next step in our journey together,' she said. In her vows, Felicity gushed over the 15 years spent with the former MP, revealing that she is 'happiest' when she's with her now-husband. 'For 15 years you've been by my side, you're my calm, my joy, my pride. We've roamed the world, just me and you. I've climbed many a mountain following you. 'It's where I'm my happiest, when we're side-by-side, together forever on this wild ride. So today I promise you all my heart, you've always had it right from the start.' Another clip posted by Felicity to Instagram showed the couple restoring the chapel for their big day, which required a lot of cleaning and fixing in the run-up. In 2023, Tim asked the public to donate to the huge restoration project and labour of love that he took on with his fiancée at the time. As well as the main 18th-century Louis XVI-style chateau, there are two main buildings, a dried out moat, cottages, stables, a wine barrel room, a chapel, a boulangerie and an orangerie. Tim was a Victorian MP from 1999 to 2013, and a year after he resigned, he set off for France. He and Felicity have been regularly documenting their progress on the chateau, with Tim even returning to Melbourne to celebrate the launch of Les Amis de Purnon (Friends of Purnon), a not-for-profit association to support the restoration of Château de Purnon. At the time, tickets were reported to have cost $150 a head. The request for donations attracted criticism from The Australian's Margin Call editor Yoni Bashan, who referred to the restoration as a 'self-enriching vanity project'. 'The people are already paying for this guy to yuk it up in the French countryside. Now, in the ultimate act of p***-taking, he's asking punters to help him pay for it. C'est incroyable! (It's incredible),' the column - written in a response to a piece by The Herald Sun - read. The column also stated that Tim would have left parliament with a pension of around $150,000, while his fiancée is an heiress to the Selkirk Bricks company. The couple first came across the chateau in 2019, and they now live in a small wing of the property that has heating and a bath. The pair had looked at 15 other chateaus before they settled on Purnon, which on the donation website, is described as being in a state of 'serious peril'. 'Dating back more than a century, the slate roof of the castle is out of use, threatening the conservation of the framework which covers the two upper floors of the house and that of the floors,' the website read. 'A little-known treasure, the castle requires energetic and urgent action to save it from ruin and preserve its authenticity.' Tim and Felicity are hoping the castle may be used for weddings, exhibitions, concerts and guided tours once the restoration is complete. The castle and parts of its surroundings have also been listed as Historic Monuments, meaning French authorities have to approve any work being carried out. The couple, along with their passion project, have featured in television shows and magazines such as Good Weekend throughout its restoration.

Mel B offers Spice Girls bandmates second chance to attend her wedding as she plans another 'informal and sexy' ceremony following lavish St Paul's Cathedral celebration
Mel B will be offering her Spice Girls bandmates a second chance to attend her wedding celebrations after only Emma Bunton attended the big day at St Paul's Cathedral on Saturday. Scary Spice, 50, has revealed she and new husband Rory McPhee, 37, will be jetting aboard for another ceremony, which she described as 'more informal and sexy' than her nuptials in London. Mel C, 51, and Victoria Beckham, 51, both paid tribute to the bride and groom after they were forced to miss the wedding. However Geri Halliwell has so far failed to acknowledge the star-studded nuptials. Mel B told The Sun of her plans for a second wedding to Rory, 37, later this summer and said she'd already splashed out on a gown to wear. 'In one incredible afternoon I found two perfect dresses. One beautiful classic dress by Josephine Scott, a British designer, and one stunning dramatic dress by a US designer, Justin Alexander'. MailOnline have contacted Mel's representatives for further comment. It comes after Mel B shared a glimpse of her quirky 'just married' outfit following her lavish wedding day. She took to her Instagram following the ceremony as she joined her new husband at they celebrated at their £28K reception at iconic London landmark the Shard. In the black and white snap Mel wore a white cardigan over her gorgeous bridal gown with the words 'Just Married' embroidered onto the back. The groom looked dapper in suit and kilt as he beamed at his new wife, who captioned the post: 'MARRIED'. Guests including Alan Carr and Leigh Francis were quick to offer their congratulations, while fellow bandmate Geri remained silent. The pair have a tempestuous relationship and at times have struggled to be in the same room without there being animosity. Geri continued to snub Mel B on Sunday after her lavish wedding weekend - while the likes of Heidi Klum, Paloma Faith and Kerry Katona led the stars sending the Spice Girl congratulatory messages following the ceremony. However other Spice Girl Victoria was quick to comment under Mel's post saying: 'Congratulations!!!!! We hope you had an amazing day!!!! X kisses xxxxxxxxc.' It comes after Mel B shared a glimpse of her quirky 'just married' outfit following her lavish wedding day Heidi Klum added: 'CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU BOTH. WISHING YOU LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE FOREVER.' Paloma Faith then added: 'Congrats my angel you deserve the world.' Alice Evans said: 'You deserve this! I'm so happy for you!'. Alexandra Burke posted simply saying: 'Congrats!' Katie Piper added: 'Congratulations you deserve so much love and happiness Robbie Williams' wife Ayda Field said under the post: 'Congratulations !'. It comes after Mel C shared a sweet snap of Mel B and her new husband as they celebrated their wedding day on Saturday. Sporty Spice was notably absent as her Spice Girl bandmate said 'I do' to her fiancé Rory in London in front of a string of very A-list guests. Mel was unable to attend no doubt due to scheduling conflicts, as she was performing in Sweden, but still wanted to share her excitement and happiness for the pair and took to her Instagram to share a photograph of the newlyweds. Admitting that she was 'gutted' not to be there, she made reference to the fact they would all see each other and meet up in the not too distant future. Posting some sweet words online, she gushed in the caption: 'So so happy for you both and beyond gutted I couldn't be there. Excited to celebrate with you really soon! Yippee!' Victoria also missed the ceremony but did share a sweet black and white throwback of herself and the bride with bandmates Geri, Mel C and Emma to her Instagram. Posh, 51, captioned the snap: 'Congratulations @officalmelb @rorymcphee on your special day! I couldn't be more excited for you both and wish you a lifetime of happiness! kisses xx' It comes after Mel C shared a sweet snap of Mel B and her new husband as they celebrated their wedding day And despite her absence, Posh, 51, took to Instagram to share a sweet black and white throwback of herself and the bride with bandmates Geri, Mel C and Emma Hours earlier, Victoria had also posted another tribute to the couple on Friday with a photograph of herself and Mel looking glamorous together at a recent event. She gushed in a caption: 'Sending love to you @officialmelb! @rorymcphee is a very lucky man! xx' Ahead of the wedding, sources told the Mail that there was no bad blood between Victoria and Mel but was simply a scheduling conflict. They said: 'Victoria has long standing plans out of the country and she simply can't be there. She adores Mel, they get on really well despite their paths going in opposite directions. It's a real shame. 'There is no issue between them, they haven't fallen out. It's just one of those things.' Geri and Mel though went to war after Mel B revealed that they had had an intimate relationship when the band was starting out while she was being interviewed for Piers Morgan's Life Stories programme. Geri was said to have been deeply upset by the bombshell revelation in 2019, for which Mel has apparently never apologised. Sources also say that Geri's husband Christian Horner was 'mortified' about Mel's claims. Though the other Spice Girls were absent, Emma was in attendance and looked gorgeous in a stylish pink dress as she stepped out to support Mel B. Emma was accompanied by husband Jade Jones and their son Beau, 17, with both men looking dapper for the big day. After heading out of the cathedral, Baby Spice kindly stopped and signed her autograph for an eager fan.
