Born Robert Barisford Brown on February 5, 1969, and later nicknamed Bobby Brown, Bodhi’s father made his name as one of the pioneers of the new jack swing touted to be a mix between hip hop and R&B. He became a member of the R&B and pop group New Edition in 1978 before he left in 1978.
With New Edition, Bodhi’s father released four studio albums before going on to release five solo studio albums between 1986 and 2012. His acting career has also seen him appear in over a dozen movies and TV series with the most recent coming in 2021 when he appeared as Crab in the American reality singing competition known as The Masked Singer.

For her part, Alicia’s career, in her capacity as a producer, has seen her produce several TV shows while as a manager, she has worked on the management teams of a good number of celebrities including retired NBA star Magic Johnson, R&B singer Macy Gray, and of course, she has been her husband’s manager since before they were married.
Bodhi Jameson’s Parents Got Married In 2012
A good number of sources have indicated that Bodhi’s parents tied the knot on June 19, 2012, in Hawaii. Before deciding to settle down as man and wife, the celebrity child’s parents reportedly knew each other as teenagers and as time passed their relationship progressed to the point where they became inseparable as friends.
According to several sources, Bodhi’s mom was at the wedding party when her dad got married for the first time in 1992. That was the last time they were publicly seen together at an event. All that would change almost 16 years later when he asked her to join his management team in 2008.
It was as if time had stood still for the now-married couple who soon allowed their emotions to become merged with their professional relationship and they began seeing each other romantically.
Bodhi’s parents became engaged in 2010 before exchanging marital vows in 2012. Their marriage has lasted the better part of a decade and despite the myriad of controversies in that time, they are still together and the signs point to the fact that they are likely to remain so for the foreseeable future.
Bodhi Jameson Is Not Active On Social Media
Being the child of a celebrity comes with its perks but the accompanying challenge of having to navigate media and public expectations is one that Bodhi will have to deal with as time passes. For now, though, her parents are doing the best they can to shield her from these challenges while she lives her life away from the spotlight.
The implication of this freeze has meant that details of her formal education background is yet to be revealed to the public and the media. Also, Bodhi has not yet become active on any of the well-known social media platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, and the likes. Beyond the fact that her parents may not want her on social media, virtually all the known platforms have age policies that prevent her from being actively involved on these platforms.

Bodhi’s younger sibling and sister was born Hendrix Estelle Sheba Brown on July 21, 2016, in Los Angeles California. Her relationship with her siblings is nothing short of what you would expect from any other family with young children, despite the over 7-year age difference between her and her older brother.
Bodhi’s father, Bobby Brown, also had four other children with three different women before he became intimate with her mother. The oldest of the celebrity kid’s half-siblings is a half-brother named Landon Barisford Brown.

After Whitney Houston was found face down in her bathtub, Bobbi, who was a singer and actress like her mother, was in a coma for a long while and spent some time in hospice before she died on July 26, 2015, in Duluth, Georgia, United States, less than a month after Bodhi was born.
