Briana told her older sister: “His name is Kevin. He’s 14 years old. He knows about me. They saw us on the TV show and they said they know who we are and they know we are siblings. He was born in 2005.”
Brittany revealed the family moved to Florida in October 2004, adding: “She must have been pregnant already. Dad pretty much hid it from us.
“Clearly he was with mom when he got that girl pregnant. So he hid his other kid from us so mom wouldn’t leave, him but they ended up breaking up anyway.”
Briana added: “Dad was in our lives 14 years ago. He was very active. The time I stopped talking to him was in 2011 when I gave birth to Nova. I have all these memories and then he got up and left. That little boy would’ve been 6 years old when Nova was born.”

When Brittany asked, “Does he think I’m his biological sibling too or no?” Briana responded, “I don’t know.”
Briana and Brittany have different fathers, as her dad adopted Brittany when she was a child.
Brittany said: “I feel like that’s my brother, but that’s not my brother biologically, but only for dad because that’s my mother f**king father regardless.”
Although Briana promised she would wait until Brittany returned home from vacation to see their brother, she reached out to Kevin and flew to New York to meet him.

Briana explained of her decision: “Brittany has emotions about meeting Kevin, which I understand, but I can’t wait for Brittany either. Because if it was me waiting for Brittany I think she would hold off on it for a really long time. It sounds selfish, but I don’t want to wait that long. I’m going to call him tonight.”
When Briana returned home from New York, Brittany told her she is not meeting Kevin.
She explained: “Yes I’m happy for you, go hang out with him if you want, but I don’t want to meet that kid. You went to New York in the middle of my Korea trip. The whole time I was in Korea I was thinking about it. That made me feel out of place. So I said, ‘Okay that’s her brother then, not mine.’
"I saw him as a brother and how you went about it made me feel like he wasn’t my brother. Cause yes biologically that’s not my brother, but on paper that is. How you went to meet him without me made me feel, for the first time, that you’re my half sister.”

When Briana said they’re not half sisters, Brittany broke down in tears and continued: “At the end of the day like, that’s my brother too. Dad adopted me. How you communicated with him, I didn’t feel included in that at all... I don’t want to meet him because I feel broken about the whole situation.
“That man hurt me more than he probably hurt you because he chose to be my father on paper. He didn’t choose to be your father. You’re his DNA. He didn’t have to sign that paper. He didn’t have to raise me. And then he left.”
Briana, who is mom to Nova, 9, with ex Devoin Austin, and Stella, 3, with ex Luis Hernandez, then stormed out of the room and fired: “It’s always about you Brittany. You call me selfish, but you’re very selfish!”
Brittany yelled back: “It’s not always about me. How’s it about me? How is it about Brittany when everything is about Briana? I do everything for her. Everything is catered to her and her f**king kids. I’m still living at home to help her with her f**king kids.”

Their mother Roxanne explained how Brittany called her “sobbing” and was “devastated” when she learned Briana met Kevin without her.
Roxanne added: “She said mom, Briana promised me she would not meet Kevin without me being there, that we would do it together.”
In the end, Brittany met Kevin when he visited their home in Florida.

Briana exclusively told The Sun of Brittany’s relationship with Kevin today: “Brittany and Kevin, they haven’t seen each other since Kevin came over to Florida. There is not a big relationship there. Brittany knows about Kevin and Kevin knows about Brittany and that’s just what it is.”
She previously told The Sun that she continues to have a strong relationship with her half-brother, as they “text on the regular.”
The MTV star explained: “Because of Covid obviously I cannot see him. We haven’t seen each other in a while. I’m sure we’ll definitely meet up again.”

Briana continues to have no relationship with her father today, though she remains hopeful they will reconnect in the future.
She told The Sun: “I would always like to reach out to my father. I have mixed emotions about it. It’s still a very sensitive topic.
“Hopefully someday in the near future I can speak to my father and we can hash things out and figure stuff out.”
