Brown has never been shy about wearing his heart on his sleeve, but in a recent interview with Fox News, he sounded more open than ever.

Talking about life with his fiancée, Kendra Scott, the singer said simply, "It's been incredible. My kids adore her."

Scott, a mother of three, has children of a similar age to Brown's kids.

The star explained that at first, some of her older sons were cautious, but over time, they've begun to embrace the relationship.

"She has a son that's the same age as my son. Incredible," Brown reflected, adding that her children are a testament to her resilience and strength as a mother.

He went on to describe how the union has brought unexpected peace to both families.

"They're very different, but they're all extraordinary," he explained.

Brown has endured his share of difficult chapters. His 12-year marriage to Shelly Brown ended in 2018, leaving him the father of five children, Justice, Lucy, Georgia, Joni, and Alexander.

In 2023, he tied the knot with actress and model Kelly Yazdi, but that marriage unraveled in just four months.

Their divorce was finalized in early 2024, though legal battles continue to this day.

These setbacks, however, have made Brown more determined to get it right this time.

He admitted that blending families comes with many moving parts, but insisted it feels destined, noting, "So, you know, we have to redefine success together now. And a lot of moving parts, but it's all meant to be, and I'm grateful for all of it."

If the family plans weren't enough to capture headlines, Brown's proposal certainly did.

He revealed that he popped the question in dramatic fashion during a river trip.

He shared, "We were actually on a barge with 30 elephants on the bank and the sun setting and birds flying over and hippos in the water. And I got it good."

To him, the magic wasn't about grand gestures alone, but about who he was sharing the moment with.

He gushed, "Kendra's such an amazing human being. We share so much in the way we love our family, the way we protect our people and our business, the way that we fight for good things in our philanthropy, the way that we choose to try to help each other."

He is also grateful for their relationship.

"I'm so grateful that we found each other and that we can relate to being leaders," he said of Scott. "We can support each other on a level that just hasn't happened before, so I love her heart."

Those close to the couple note that this approach is what sets their relationship apart from Brown's previous romances.
