8 Shocking Ways Brandi Has Changed Since Dating Clifford After Jared Split (Including Her Racy Football Outfit)

Storage Wars star Brandi Passante is a whole new woman after a shocking split with Jarrod Schulz, and she’s showing off her romance with Clifford Beaver, as well as edgy revenge outfits that make jaws drop. In fact, Brandi is nothing like the dour, eye-rolling shrew that viewers saw during her seasons with Jarrod. In a recent Instagram post, Brandi got racy, donning a skimpy football outfit that gave her a true cheerleader look.

Brandi and Jarrod called it quits in 2018, and when their split was announced on the show, it was surprising. They’d hidden their breakup from the world for a couple of years. On Storage Wars, there was obvious tension between the two, but sometimes, they had fun together. Rooting through lockers isn’t the most romantic activity, but for years, Brandi and Jarrod seemed to make things work. They ran a thrift shop and raised two children, Payton and Cameron Schulz. Apparently, the pressures of fame, and “adulting” in general, tore the duo apart.

8 Brandi’s Getting Her Groove Back With Racy Fashion

She Looks Amazing In Black & White

Brandi is very devoted to her new boyfriend, Clifford, who seems to bring out the best in her. Gone are the grimaces and the attitude. These days, Brandi’s all smiles. She’s taking chances with fashion, and in the post shown above, she looks fabulous in a form-fitting referee costume. Why did she put on this tight outfit, with its low-cut bodice and fishnet stockings? Brandi did it because she wants people to come to Clifford’s Lake Forest, California bar, which is called Our Place, and watch some football.

What’s interesting is that her current man and her ex both own watering holes in Lake Forest. Apparently, Brandi’s attracted to bar owners. Maybe she loves spending time at these types of establishments. Brandi’s a gorgeous woman and her IG post, which features her and another woman, Crystal Lewellen, posing in alluring outfits, is really the ultimate promotional tool.

7 Brandi Says She’s The Primary Caregiver To Her Kids

She’s Openly Supporting Her Kids Online

Brandi and Jarrod’s split got messy – they even got into it at a bar, yelling at each other. She said that Jarrod got physically aggressive, and the cops came. However, Jarrod fled the scene before the police actually arrived. After they broke up, she opened up about her post-split life, getting real about being the primary caregiver. Jarrod’s never disputed the fact that Brandi’s the one who takes care of their children, so maybe it’s true. The kids seem happy and that’s what matters most – hopefully, they see their father sometimes. In the Instagram post above, Brandi asked her followers to donate money that would fund Cameron’s short film project.

Yes, her son’s an aspiring filmmaker. This project isn’t his first. Maybe he’ll be one of the great directors someday. Brandi always helps him, and she doesn’t stop there. She also celebrates his birthday on Instagram, adding baby pictures that she treasures. It’s clear that she loves her boy, and Jarrod probably appreciates the fact that she’s with the children all the time. Brandi is proud of her kids. Both parents love their children, even if Jarrod’s not in the picture too often.

Brandi’s openness about her family and relationship with Clifford is new. She’s sharing details about her life as a mom, and it’s not about Jarrod at all. It’s her life. However, she isn’t doing it all alone. Her partner, Clifford, is there to offer emotional support, even if he’s not really in a formal stepparent role.

6 Brandi’s Rocked A Lot Of Wild Revenge Outfits

This Little Black Dress Was A Daring Choice

One of the signs that Brandi was changing was her revenge wardrobe. When she and Jarrod broke up, it was like she’d been let out of a cage. She started wearing form-fitting outfits with plunging necklines, including the little black dress shown above. Although Clifford may have been a part of Brandi’s life back then, she was acting like a single woman. The sexy clothes, quaffing the drink with such panache, and a general devil-may-care air make this clip exciting.

Most of Brandi’s chest is exposed and that doesn’t bother her one bit.

In the shot above, Brandi was enjoying her freedom. She’d been with Jarrod for years – they had their ups and downs, and in the end, there were more bad times than good. That’s when it’s time to get out. Splitting up with Jarrod was a good thing for Brandi. She probably went through a tough adjustment period, but when it was over, she came out stronger. Her time as a single woman (and single mom) made her a better person.

5 Clifford Beaver Is Lighting Up Brandi’s Life

He Appreciates His Girlfriend

The biggest change in Brandi’s life is her new relationship – it’s lighting up a woman who was often so cranky and negative. The mean-spirited Brandi who called Jarrod an

“idiot”

for bidding too much during a storage locker auction is seemingly missing in action. She’s been replaced by a cheery and happy woman who sees the beauty in life. For this, she must be so grateful to her boyfriend. Clifford is everything that Jarrod wasn’t. Jarrod may be perfect for someone, but he’s very bad news for Brandi, and it’s best that they don’t have a lot of contact.

• Brandi is a Taurus, and so is Clifford
• Jarrod is a Libra – he’s not the right match for Brandi, zodiac-wise
• two Tauruses can thrive together, as they have the same wants and needs
• a Libra may get bored with a Taurus, as Libras need a lot of mental stimulation

Jarrod’s gone very quiet online – he used to post on Instagram and then he stopped. Maybe the shade he got after the altercation at the bar made him shy away from oversharing online. Hopefully, he will come back.

He hasn’t really told his side of the story. However, the picture that Brandi painted was very depressing. She said he was an angry person behind the scenes. She didn’t seem to miss him when he left. This relationship had to end and now, Brandi can really enjoy her life.

4 Brandi Took A Funny “God Complex” Test On TikTok

What Was The Answer?

Yes, Brandi‘s playful. She’s doing a lot more than checking out dusty storage lockers to see if she can turn castoffs into cold, hard cash. This spirited and fun-loving side of Brandi is appealing – it’s something that was missing. Before, on Storage Wars with Jarrod, she would crack jokes, but they were usually snide comments. Now, she’s enjoying herself in different ways. In the clip above, via her TikTok, Brandi finds out that her “God Complex” is “thinking u r the funniest person on earth.”

Brandi 2.0 is a nice person – she’s relaxed and likes to have a laugh. In fact, she seems to have a real lust for life. She’s doing a lot of things, from interacting with fans at TikTok to tending bar at Our Place. Brandi is making the most of her days and nights, always looking for ways to maximize her pleasure. Before, she seemed a lot more businesslike, as though money was her top priority.

3 Brandi’s Showing Her Love For Animals

Her Heart Seems Bigger After Breaking Up With Jarrod

Brandi loves animals, and has a special bond with the pup shown above, as per TikTok. In the clip above, she shows off her female puppy, saying:

“I love her.”

The pup is dark brown and hanging out on a bed. The post got a lot of love from her fans, many of whom are male. Some try to hit on Brandi via the platform. If they’re not that bold, they settle for glowing praise. One smitten follower wrote:

Your the reason why I watch the tv show storage wars!!

Brandi never seemed this warmhearted during her time with Jarrod. As she gets older and finds peace within a relationship, she shows a softer side that makes her so likable. It’s amazing what love can do for people. Brandi’s blossoming like a flower, and doesn’t seem to have any of the anger and bitterness she displayed after she and Jarrod split up. They’d never married, but they were a long-term couple with children.

2 Brandi’s Family May Be Getting Bigger

Her Boyfriend Clifford Has Kids

If Brandi marries Clifford, and this isn’t impossible, she’ll become a part of a blended family, as Clifford has children. He’s a very sweet guy, based on what he’s posted online so far. He’s a bar owner, but he’s not some sleazy denizen of the night. Above, in a screengrab from his IG, Clifford honors his daughter on National Daughter’s Day. He calls her, “Zozo.”

Clifford seems very affectionate and there’s a good reason he shows his love so openly. He lost his brother. This tragedy changed him, and it may have made him more sensitive. He learned the hard way that bad things can happen, and that the people he loves are the most important things. That’s probably why Brandi’s so elated these days – she’s with a mature man who knows how to express love. Above, he seems very connected to his daughter – they’re like peas in a pod.

1 Brandi’s A Stronger, Sweeter Woman

Does Jarrod Miss The Storage Wars Star?

Jarrod may miss Brandi – they were together for almost 20 years. Of course, memories are going to surface. However, it seems like the Brandi of today is a nicer person than she used to be. There is perhaps more for Jarrod to miss, and now and then, he may have regrets. Although Jarrod posted a photo of him and another woman, Rochel Beckman, in February 2021, it’s unclear whether they’re still together. Since he probably doesn’t see his kids as much as he used to, he may wish that things were different.

Life goes on, and Jarrod needs to accept the situation. At this stage, he may be happier too. Breakups seem like the end of the world when they’re happening, but often, they’re for the best. Since things were so turbulent between the Storage Wars stars before they stopped communicating, they needed space. Maybe they co-parent now, and manage to get along. Times change and people adapt to their circumstances. Meanwhile, Brandi is truly loving her life.
