Jarrod and Brandi publicly announced their split on the Season 13 premiere of Storage Wars, even though they parted ways in November 2018.

While Brandi continues to bid on storage units on the A&E series, Jarrod has not returned. Here is what we know about Jarrod today!

So, what happened to Jarrod Schulz on 'Storage Wars'?

Jarrod came under scrutiny in the spring of 2021 after attacking his ex-partner, Brandi Passante.

The stars bumped into each other at a bar in Orange County, Calif., on April 30, 2021, and the encounter quickly snowballed into a conflict. Apparently, Brandi asked Jarrod to leave the venue. He refused, pushing her and yelling at her and her friends instead.

Jarrod was arrested and charged with one count of misdemeanor domestic violence battery in May 2021, per TMZ.

Jarrod doesn't post much on social media, but he did share a photo with his new girlfriend, Rochel Beckman. More recently, he has shared photos of his bar, The Rush Bar and Grill, in California.

"The family owned and operated the establishment for 4 years before deciding to take their journey elsewhere. At that time Jarrod Schulz, family man and self-made entrepreneur, pursued ownership of the Rush bar and grill in April 2019," the bar's website reads. "Jarrod has owned numerous businesses and decided his next adventure would be to take on this new opportunity and adventure with the goal of running a great time neighborhood bar."

Meanwhile, his ex Brandi has been slightly more active on social media.

On Oct. 3, 2021, she unveiled a new tattoo — the word "Free," with a sparrow-like bird flying away from the second "e" on her middle finger.

"To me, [this tattoo] means that somehow, by the grace of God, I managed to escape a very difficult situation that so many people fall victim to," Brandi captioned the post. "I will be eternally grateful, for the life and freedom, without fear that I get to live now. I am also grateful for the empathy and grace, that I am able to give others as a result of the things, that I have endured."

She also briefly moved on from her abusive relationship with Clifford Beaver. In a touching Instagram post from 2023, Clifford gushed about Brandi, writing, "Happy birthday Brandi. I love you so much and happy we found each other."

However, it seems the couple has since split.

Luckily for fans, Brandi is still bidding on storage units in Season 16 of the show, and confirmed to Distractify in 2021 that the hauls are very real.

"You're going to get good ones and bad ones, and I don't think the show really highlights the bad ones as much ... but it definitely happens," Brandi told us. "From the very beginning, I think when people saw the show, they just assumed that this was some kind of get-rich-quick, modern-day treasure hunt and in every unit, you're going to find something great — but that's just not how it goes. You just have to try your best to make a guesstimate as to what's going to be in there."

Watch Storage Wars Saturdays at 9 p.m. EST on A&E.
