Brittany Renner, 33, reflected on her decision to convert to a new religion, Islam. She embraced this faith last year.

Popular for Basketball Wives, she is set to entertain the viewers by appearing on Season 12 of the famous VH1 reality show. She rose to fame by joining the cast of this television series in Season 11.

As Renner made a comeback in the latest season, she spoke with People exclusively at the Basketball Wives' premiere event. On May 2, she expressed her thoughts on adopting her new faith.

"Islam has made my life better in every single category."

While chatting with the interviewer, she also shared,

"And like my husband says, the closer you get to God, the more you get. And literally in every category of my life. I mean, dreams happen."

Brittany Renner got candid about adopting the Islam religion

Complex confirmed that Renner had a religious conversion in August 2024. During her conversation with People on the red carpet, she said:

"Allah called me back to this platform, to this show, and I feel like the first time that I was here, I didn't put my best foot forward."

She also opened up about how Islam "intrigued" her. She shared,

"Islam was always something that intrigued me. I love the way that Muslims greeted each other. I love their camaraderie. And every Muslim I ever met was peaceful."

Brittany recounted the past few years and admitted that it took her a few years to accept the decision to embrace a new religion.

She explained:

"Allah put Islam on my heart five, six years ago. But I was not ready to accept it. Right? So it took five, six years and once I got the call to take my Shahada, I just listened."

The reality show star further continued,

"I felt like if I had not taken my Shahada, I was gonna go down a really dark road."

Renner called her spiritual journey "really beautiful." She also talked about her new religion changing her life.

"Miracles happen once in a while, every day, you know? So it has been really beautiful. It's changed my life. It's for the better."
