Is Brandi Passante From Storage Wars Dating Anyone?
Jarrod Schulz and Brandi Passante of "Storage Wars" fame were a fan favorite couple for years. However, during the Season 13 premiere of the A&E show in April 2021, viewers found out that Jarrod and Brandi had gone their separate ways, according to People. Per the outlet, Brandi revealed she ended things with Jarrod after filming for the twelfth season of the show wrapped. (Season 12 premiered in November 2018.)
In a 2020 Facebook Live interview with The Dad Diary, Brandi opened up about navigating life as a single mother. Brandi, who shares daughter Payton and son Cameron with Jarrod, expressed that she's been the sole caretaker for quite some time. "I did a lot of it on my own anyway, but it's the scary dad voice in the background that we're missing, she said. "I have them all the time, 24/7 they're here with me, so I have to navigate that."
Things took a turn in April 2021, when Jarrod was charged with one count of misdemeanor domestic violence battery against Brandi, per TMZ. The two reportedly had a "heated exchange" at an Orange County, Calif. bar. Per the outlet, at one point, Brandi told Jarrod to leave. Sources told TMZ that Jarrod stayed and later "allegedly pushed Brandi twice ... while yelling at her and her group." As of this writing, A&E is investigating the situation, per TMZ, and it's unclear if Jarrod will return to the series.
While Jarrod's professional life is in question at this point, Brandi seems to be doing just fine. But what's her personal life looking like these days? Keep scrolling to find out.

Brandi Passante is 'figuring out' who she is
These days, it seems that Brandi Passante is working on herself and trying to heal from her past relationship. During an appearance on "Spirit Talk Hosted by Shavaun and Sabrina" in February 2021, she revealed that she's "just going with the flow right now." She noted that she wasn't seeing anyone "in particular," adding that she's taking time to figure out who she is outside of a relationship. "I wasn't really allowed to have an identity for, you know, many, many years. And so these last couple of years, I'm kind of coming into my own and figuring out who I am."
Until the right one comes along, she said, "I just don't have an attachment to anyone." While she shared that she's "definitely dated and things like that," she's really just doing her own thing at the moment. "Right now [dating is] not something I'm really trying hard to seek out. I'm waiting until I, you know, can feel an attachment to someone."
As far as Jarrod's love life goes, he's seemingly moved on from their relationship. In January 2020, he took to social media to go public with his relationship with girlfriend Rochel Beckman. Based on Beckman's Facebook activity, as of this writing, it appears the two are still together.
