Storage Wars: What Happened To Jarrod Schulz & Brandi Passante's Relationship (2024)

Storage Wars couple Jarrod Schulz and Brandi Passante have called it quits on their marriage, and there's curiosity surrounding what happened to the formerly dynamic duo. Since marriages have slightly more than a 50/50 chance of lasting in the USA, the odds of a relationship surviving the pressures of fame are slim. It was shocking when the famous couple split. While Jarrod wasn't a part of the Storage Wars season 15 cast, Brandi did appear in that installment.

Brandi and Jarrod were never legally married. Though the two welcomed children together, shared a business, and considered each other life partners, they never officially exchanged wedding vows. Now, Brandi has a new man, but she seems to be the primary caregiver of her and Jarrod's children. While their kids, son Cameron and daughter Payton, are now teenagers, there aren't a lot of mentions of them on either parent's social media accounts, as per requests from the children. However, Brandi posted about Cameron recently.

What happened in Jarrod and Brandi’s relationship is still somewhat unclear, but Brandi has shed light on some of her issues with Jarrod. The two split back in 2018, but that didn't become public knowledge until 2020. When Storage Wars started its run back in the day, Brandi and Jarrod were always seen bickering on TV - Jarrod might have grown tired of Brandi’s eye rolls and dismissive sighs. They clashed in the clip shown above. Brandi felt she carried most of the load as a parent, which may have contributed to their split, as per her statement to People:

"I did a lot of it on my own anyway, but it's the scary dad voice in the background that we're missing."

Storage Wars' Brandi Had Fun After Split From Jarrod

Brandi Passante Didn't Seem Heartbroken

Once Brandi started posting a host of selfies, it was easy to assume that their relationship was on the rocks. She started showing off her body more and included a lot of pictures that featured her drinking with her gal pals. Brandi's social media account is a highlight reel that gives fans fascinating glimpses of her post-split life.

Brandi Passante Has A New Man

Brandi Passante Is Dating Clifford Beaver

On May 2, 2024, Brandi posted a cute couples' pic of her new man, Clifford Beaver, so she's definitely moved on after her high-drama breakup with Jarrod. Her beau is a realtor and Brandi, who could have smiled a bit more while she was appearing in Storage Wars, seems quite happy to be in a new relationship. In the post above, she added a gallery that featured her smiling several times. For Brandi, this is real progress. She wished her partner a happy birthday and shared some of their fun experiences with her followers.

Jarrod Schulz Posed With Another Woman On Instagram

Jarrod Schulz May Have A Girlfriend

Jarrod's last Instagram post was added on May 5, 2022, so his recent activities are a bit mysterious. However, back then, he did share a snap featuring him and a woman, as seen above. Both looked like they were having a great time together. Jarrod got some bad press after the split went public. Brandi implied that he was a "scary" dad, as mentioned previously, and that may have negatively impacted his reputation. It could have pushed him to lie low on social media.

The woman shown in the picture above is Rochel Beckman. There were reports that Jarrod was in a romance with her. Rochel had some nice things to say about her boyfriend while posting online, according to Reality Tidbit. The woman stated:

“It’s crazy how much happier life can be when you are appreciated and cared for the way a person should be.”

There was also a messy and disturbing domestic violence issue, which made headlines on May 17, 2021, as per Entertainment Weekly. The charge was domestic violence battery, and it was classified as a misdemeanor. According to the publication, Jarrod wasn't arrested. He left the scene before law enforcement officials knocked on his door. Brandi was the one he allegedly assaulted.

Brandi has talked about the fact that she did most of the parenting and Jarrod hasn't disputed this. Hopefully, Jarrod does get to see his children. He's very quiet online, so it's hard to say what his dynamic with Cameron and Payton is right now. However, the kids seem to be enjoying life. In particular, Cameron is thriving. He's currently working on his first crowd-funded film. He's the writer and director. Brandi, who's very proud of her son, talked about his movie on Instagram.

Brandi's post about Cameron is seen above. Storage Wars fans who want to contribute to his project can find it at the Are You Sure You're Good To Drive? GoFundMe page. To date, just over 1K has been raised, and more money is needed to complete the project. The GoFundMe page's name is the title of the film. So, it looks like Cameron's a chip off the old block, as he's trying to make a name for himself in the entertainment industry.

Brandi's a strong person who appears to be juggling a lot on her own. She has a new relationship, she's the primary caregiver of two children who need her, and she has a career. The auction queen has built a new life after a long relationship ended. It must have been hard for her to start over. However, she doesn't appear to have any regrets.

Clearly, Brandi and Jarrod are not together. Brandi is doing well in a new relationship, and Jarrod also appears to be dating. While Storage Wars took a break, Brandi and other iconic cast members returned for season 15 in 2023. In the court of public opinion, Brandi seemed to "win" their split, but more facts about the breakup may come to light in the future.
