Storage Wars is still one of the most-watched reality TV programs on A&E. For years, audiences have been captivated by the combination of dramatic bids and different personalities. Among the most notable cast members were Jarrod Schulz and Brandi Passante, who went on to become one of the most well-known pairs on the show.

Rene and Casey Nezhoda, Dan and Laura Dotson, Kenny Crossley and his revolving partners, and Darrell Sheets and Brandon Sheets were among the other well-known pairings they frequently faced off against. When Brandi and Jarrod broke up after almost 20 years of dating, attention turned to Brandi's private life.

Clifford Beaver and Brandi Passante started dating after the split, and fans of Storage Wars got curious about them right away. Now, viewers want to know more about Clifford Beaver's identity and his impact on Brandi's life since taking over.


Clifford Beaver steps into Brandi Passante’s life after Storage Wars split

Clifford Beaver is Brandi Passante’s first publicly known partner since her breakup with Jarrod Schulz, which became official in 2020 while both were still appearing on Season 13. Despite never having been married, the pair spent almost 20 years together and brought up two kids, Cameron and Payton Schulz.

Jarrod and Brandi's split marked the end of an era for Storage Wars because they had been connected both personally and professionally during their time on the show. Clifford became a part of Brandi's life in 2023 when she began sharing photos of him on her TikTok and Instagram.

Unlike Jarrod, Clifford has never been involved with Storage Wars or the storage auction sector, but he has set himself apart on social media by being straightforward and supportive. On May 1, 2024, Brandi celebrated Clifford's birthday by posting a video on Instagram that featured the Queens of the Stone Age song Make It Wit Chu.

It was a rare public gesture of affection from Brandi, who previously kept her private life guarded during her years on the show. Clifford also reciprocated with his own message online, writing,

“I’m so lucky to get another year around the sun with you! You have been a blessing to me & my familia. Whether it’s helping me at the bar or being a great mentor and showing nothing but unconditional love for me & my family! I love you so much!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.”

How does Clifford show support for Brandi on and off social media?

Fans pointed out that Clifford Beaver and Brandi Passante share a similar zodiac sign when Passante celebrated his birthday in 2024. Born on May 16, 1980, Brandi has previously talked about how she felt abandoned in her previous relationship with Jarrod during the Storage Wars.

According to ScreenRant, in contrast to the arguments with Jarrod on television, Clifford's social media presence implies greater harmony and respect within the pair. Clifford has demonstrated that he values his family even outside of his engagement with Brandi.

During their year together, Brandi and Clifford often appeared together in relaxed and candid moments online. One notable example was in 2024 when Brandi shared a playful photo of herself with Clifford at Heritage Barbecue, where she posed making a silly face while holding a pickle.

For longtime Storage Wars viewers who remembered Passante for her serious demeanor during locker auctions, this lighter side of Brandi has been standing out. Clifford seemed to bring out a more cheerful version of her personality, which fans noticed through her frequent posts during their relationship.
