The hit show Storage Wars from A&E appeals to all for its original blend of drama and fun. Apart from the neglected storage vaults and the amazing riches they conceal, the stars of the performance are as unforgettable. Of them, Brandi Passante is among the most often used cast members.
Brandi paired up with her then-husband, Jarrod Schulz, mesmerizing viewers with their explosive combo for the first 13 seasons. They also starred in a hit spinoff series together. Despite her distance from Jarrod and some controversies that followed, Brandi’s popularity has only gotten less over years.
What then is Brandi Passante’s present activity? She still participates in Storage Wars, and what exactly transpired between her and Jarrod? Let’s get right in with the most recent updates.
Brandi Passante in 2024: Notes on Life and Career
Brandi most last showed on TV in 2023, during the 15th season of Storage Wars. Although a new season is still unknown, it was great to see Brandi and her fellow cast members return to the show that first gained them international recognition in the 2010s.
Brandi has been collaborating with Ivy Calvin to bid on abandoned storage lockers in previous seasons. She did, however, no longer run an antique store as in previous seasons. Rather, she emphasizes handpicking objects at auctions to sell individually—a tactic she detailed in a 2021 interview on the podcast Happening Now with Hammer.
As shown on her extensively followed Instagram page, Brandi periodically works with the podcast and also takes public appearance requests.
Chapter New: Brandi’s Personal Life
Beyond her career, Brandi has been active on social media providing fans with a window into her dynamic personal life. From working at a California-based pub called Our Place Lake Forest to attending events with family and friends, she seems to effortlessly mix business and leisure.
In her romantic life, Brandi has progressed since her divorce from Jarrod. She piqued interest among her followers in February 2023 when she uploaded a video including a man not seen in her other works. A few months later, his identity—that of Our Place Lake Forest’s owner, Clifford Beaver—was discovered.
Clifford made their connection public after expressing his love and respect of Brandi on social media. Though not much is known about him, his Instagram indicates that he is a music lover who enjoys visiting events all throughout California and a father of two.
What transpired between Brandi Passante and Jarrod Schulz?
On-screen romance between Brandi and Jarrod brought them a spinoff in 2014 called Married to the Job. After shooting the 12th season of Storage Wars in 2018, the pair broke off their apparently close connection. Though admirers had seen their absence from each other’s social media, the causes of their divorce remain personal.
The split was verified during the April 2021 13th season of Storage Wars. Separately bidding on the show, Brandi and Jarrod frequently made disparaging comments about each other.
Sadly, their breakup was followed in April 2021 with a public confrontation in an Orange County, California bar. Reports state that Brandi begged Jarrod to leave, but he refused, which set off a fight when he allegedly pushed her. Later on Jarrod was accused of domestic violence, however specifics of the case are still unknown.
A&E looked into the incident thereafter, and Jarrod did not show up on the 14th season of the show, which debuted later that year.
Approaching Ahead
Brandi Passante has demonstrated resiliency in face of these obstacles. Her tenacity and optimism inspire supporters in both her personal and professional spheres as she keeps shining.
Regarding Jarrod, he apparently too has moved on and has been seeing a woman called Raquel Beckman since 2019.
Last Words
In the Storage Wars fan base, Brandi Passante is still a revered person. Her charisma and diligence never fails to enthrall supporters whether she is bidding on lockers or investigating new businesses.
