Brandi Passante, the beloved star of Storage Wars, is making headlines again—but this time, it’s not about a rare storage unit find. The reality TV personality recently stepped out with a new partner, and while she appeared to be enjoying her time, not all fans are thrilled about the development.
Passante, who rose to fame alongside her former partner, Jarrod Schulz, was a fan favorite for her no-nonsense attitude and sharp eye for valuable finds. Her split from Schulz, which was confirmed in 2020, left many longtime viewers shocked. Since then, Brandi has focused on raising her children, running her business, and enjoying a more private life outside of the Storage Wars spotlight.
However, recent photos and social media posts showing Brandi with a new companion have ignited a wave of mixed reactions. While some fans are happy to see her moving on and finding happiness, others have expressed disappointment, nostalgia, and even resentment over the change.
Many followers took to social media to voice their opinions, with some suggesting that they had hoped for a reconciliation between Brandi and Jarrod. Others felt that her new partner doesn’t measure up to their expectations, though little is known about him so far.
Despite the online chatter, Brandi has remained tight-lipped about her new romance. She has always been known for keeping her personal life relatively private, choosing to share glimpses with fans on her own terms. If the past is any indication, she is unlikely to let the negativity affect her.
As always, celebrity relationships tend to attract strong emotions from fans, especially when they have followed a public couple for years. Whether or not Brandi will address the backlash remains to be seen, but one thing is clear—she’s living life on her own terms, and not everyone is happy about it.
