Brandi And Jason Maxiell Love Story
Brandi and Jason Maxiell first met in high school. The couple went to the same school, Newman Smith High, in Carrollton, Texas.
Born in the same year, 1983, only a few months apart in age, Brandi and Jason made their relationship work during his transition to athletic career from collegiate to professional.
The pair branched off to pursue their professional lives after that. Brandi attended the University of North Texas and earned her bachelor’s degree in 2007, while the former athlete joined the University of Cincinnati.
Jason went on to play for Detroit Pistons in the NBA and quickly became one of the most prominent players in the league. He played seven seasons with the Pistons before joining Orlando Magic in 2013.
Mr. Maxiell ended his NBA career with Charlotte Hornets in 2015 as he moved to play in the Chinese basketball league for Tianjin Ronggang.
On the other hand, his lover Brandi was also doing significantly well in her professional career. However, at 24, she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
Following an extensive regimen of surgery and chemotherapy, she beat the disease in 2008 and has remained cancer-free since.

Brandi walked down the aisle with Jason in August 2010. The couple celebrated their 12th wedding anniversary in 2022.
Their nuptials came two years after Brandi won a battle over cancer in 2008. To show his love and care for her beloved girlfriend, Jason shaved his head bald when she had to undergo chemotherapy and lose her hair in a touching gesture of support.
After dating for more than eight years, they were engaged and eventually tied the knot in August 2010. Event planner Donnie Brown was in charge of the event.
Several NBA athletes, Amir Johnson, Antonio McDyess, Tayshaun Prince, Maurice Evans, and others, joined their opulent ceremony to bestow goodwill and well wishes for the newlyweds.
A picture of the two where Jason kisses Brandi’s left foot caught much attention on the internet back then.
After the pair celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary in August 2017, Jason announced his retirement from professional basketball. Since then, he has kept a low social media presence.
