Personal life

Brown was born in Houston, Texas and has three older sisters.[3] He is of Jamaican and Cuban descent. He came out as gay at age 15.[4] Brown grew up in Coral Springs, Florida and graduated from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland in 1999.[5][6] Following the shooting at the school in 2018, Brown became an active member of the Never Again MSD movement started by the students, advocating for new gun safety legislation. He graduated from Florida A&M University, a historically black university, and worked as a social worker for nearly a decade after The Real World.[7]

In 2007, Brown was notified that he was the father of a 10 year-old boy, Jason, receiving custody of him that year. Brown adopted Jason's half-brother Chris in 2010. Brown moved back to Los Angeles with his two sons in 2011 where they currently reside.[8] In May 2018, Brown became engaged to his partner of eight years, director Ian Jordan.[9]

Brown made a return to reality television on TV One's The Next 15 in 2016, which followed Brown and five other reality stars.[10]

Brown was a contributing host on HLN's Dr. Drew On Call, YouTube's The Young Turks,[8] served as host and producer of HuffPost Live for Huffington Post and as a recurring guest host of Access Hollywood Live. In 2014, Brown became a host and segment producer for the Own Show.[11]

He hosted MTV's Are You The One: Second Chances.[12] Brown currently plays the role of the culture expert in the Netflix revival of Queer Eye. The first season was released on Netflix in February 2018.[2]
