'Alaskan Bush' Star Noah Brown Defends New Bride Rhain Amid Family Tension

Alaskan Bush People star Noah Brown is not about to let his famous family stop him from enjoying his happily-ever-after with new wife, Rhain!

In an exclusive interview with RadarOnline.com, the 26-year-old — who wed Rhain in front of a small group of family and friends in Idaho on August 15 — blasted reports that Rhain would not be using his last name due to certain family member's disapproval!

"Rhain is my wife and she is my wife for life and of course she will be taking my last name," the son of Billy, 64, and Ami Brown, 54, said.

And although some of the members of Browntown are still "on the fence" about Noah's new wife, they may not quickly become accustomed to another Rhain Brown in the family. Rhian's mother, Marilyn Merrill, told RadarOnline.com that she is already calling her daughter "Mrs. Brown."

So how does it feel to be the first of his siblings to leave the nest?

"It feels wonderful to be married. Rhain and I were engaged for over a year and we are finally married," Noah told RadarOnline.com.

"It is like this huge weight has been lifted. We can finally focus on being husband and wife."

Do you think that Noah Brown's family should accept Rhain into their lives? Sound off in the comments below.
