Brett Favre played in the NFL back in 1992 to 2010 when he retired at 41 years old. He is a former quarterback who played for Green Bay Packers for 20 seasons. Brett met and married Deana Tynes on July 14th, 1996. In the course of their relationship, they had 2 children, Brittany Favre and Breleigh Favre.
Brittany was born on February 6th, 1989 in Hattiesburg Mississippi, United States. As expected, Brittany had a very close relationship with her father. Growing up, Brittany attended many work events at the stadium with her father, Brett. Her childhood was unique in her statement.
During an interview with Bleachers Report, Brittany revealed that her dad Brett was playing football while she was born and coincidentally, her firstborn watched Brett's last season before he retired. She said, "Football has been my life, and most of it was in Green Bay."
While Brittany was reminiscing about her childhood, she said, "I remember getting breakfast at the stadium before Dad dropped me off at school. When I was younger, we had players and coaches and their families over all the time. I loved sitting and listening to their stories, hearing them tell jokes, doing impressions of each other, and talking about locker room pranks. Those were happy times. People that we were close to slowly started moving away, or moving on, and that's what made that lifestyle difficult for me. We grew close to families, then in a matter of days, they've moved across the country with their next team."
Brittany's mother, Deana Tynes was diagnosed with cancer in 2004. It was such a devastating time for the family. Deana managed to get back to good health after a year of chemotherapy.
Later on, Brittany's mother decided to open a foundation known as Deana Favre Hope Foundation which deals with assisting women in fighting breast cancer. As time went by, Deana decided to merge her foundation with her husband Brett. The foundation is now known as Favre4Hope.
Is Brittany Favre-Mallion Married?

According to Green Bay Press Gazette, in the course of Brittany's 2 marriages, she has 3 children in totality.
Parker Brett, Brittany's firstborn, was born on April 2, 2010, when Brittany was in her first year in college. At that time, Brittany felt overwhelmed trying to study and take care of her child at the same time.
In an interview with Bleachers Report, Brittany said that her first son, Parker Brett was her main motivation for working extremely hard to provide him with a great future.
Brittany also revealed that when she met her now husband, Alex, he gave her reasons as to why she shouldn't quit school. She said, "About five months after I thought my life had fallen apart, I met Alex. He’s the reason I didn’t quit after my first year. My school was just under two hours from home, so I would study in New Orleans a few nights during the week to go to class and study. I would go through these phases where I just felt lonely and selfish for leaving Parker, and Alex had a way of calming me and helping me remember the purpose of this struggle. I married Alex in my second year. My third year, we had a baby boy, AJ."
This Is What Brittany Does For A Living
Brittany is a lawyer by profession. She works in a law firm that is located in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. The 34-year-old went to Loyola University School Of Law and there she graduated in 2015 with a law degree. Brittany specialized in entertainment and sports law because growing up, the business of sports is what she knew.
During an interview with Bleacher Report, Brittany said it was always her wish to become a lawyer since childhood. "I've wanted to be a lawyer since I was a kid. I looked at successful lawyers the same way aspiring athletes look at my dad. Naturally, I've changed paths a few times, but it was more to do with my level of self-confidence and less to do with my dream of becoming a lawyer. I had a little too much fun my first two years of college, so I didn't think getting accepted to law school would be an option."
Brittany also said that her parents knew that she wanted to be a lawyer, and they allowed her to follow her dreams. All her mother ever wanted was for her to be self-sufficient, financially independent, and most importantly to have 'something that she's earned.'
Brittany is also an artist. She loves to paint and some of her beautiful art pieces can be found on her Instagram page.
This Is The Main Reason Why Brittany Favre-Mallion Avoided The Media Attention
Despite avoiding the spotlight, Brittany Favre-Mallion has always been passionate about addressing mental health issues on her social media channels as well as to the press. Of course, this all changed with her competing on Claim to Fame. But in an interview, she revealed why she took so long to get anywhere near the spotlight.
While speaking to Green Bay Press Gazette, Brittany said that she always wanted to avoid media attention which related to her being Brett's daughter. She said, "I’ve never really been in the spotlight before and that was intentional, and I’ve gone through a lot of things that I’ve been pretty open about in terms of mental health issues and things that I’ve had to work through.”
Brittany added, "It just seemed like the time for me to sort of step into ‘a’ spotlight in a way and kind of resolve a lot of that anxiety and that tension that was felt whenever I was going through some really dark times."
