Bobby Brown's Family Helps Him Through Grief
Bobby Brown is currently married to Alicia Etheredge.
The singer-songwriter credited his current wife, Alicia Etheredge-Brown, for helping him get through his worst days.
"Also, just family … being there for me when I was down and when I wasn’t feeling right and when times get hard," he added. "They're still there because it doesn't stop. It's not like it just goes away. It's gonna be with you forever, but it's about dealing with it and really paying attention to yourself. Paying attention to how you're feeling that day and letting somebody know how you're feeling that day. You know, not keeping it inside."
Alicia and Bobby share three kids together: Cassius, 16, Bodhi, 10, and Hendrix, 9.

How Did Bobbi Kristina and Bobby Brown Jr. Die?
Bobby Brown opened up about the loss of Bobby Brown Jr. and Bobbi Kristina.
Bobbi Kristina passed away at age 22 in July 2015 due to drug intoxication and drowning in a bathtub. Bobby Jr. suffered a drug overdose five years later, in November 2020.
Bobby previously opened up about how his deceased kids come to him in his dreams.
"I always see them at beaches or in fields," he told an outlet in 2022. "They're running away, but they're laughing. And they're always together. I didn't have many dreams about Bobbi Kris before Bobby Jr. died. But then all of a sudden — floods of dreams."
He disclosed how he was still processing the fact that his daughter and son are gone.
"I've cried, but not how I want to," he said. "I really want to just scream to the top of my lungs and cry, but it's just not there."
