Brittany Santiago

Overview

Brittany Santiago became a recurring Love After Lockup personality through her relationship with Marcelino Santiago. Their story continued into the original 2019 cast of Life After Lockup, the We TV spinoff that followed couples beyond the flagship’s initial courtship and release period. By the time the new series began, they were newlyweds raising a blended family in Las Vegas and preparing to move into another home.

The early Life After Lockup episodes explored how Brittany and Marcelino handled parenting, friendship and independence within their marriage. The focus was no longer simply on starting a relationship in person, but on making decisions together in an expanding household. Those domestic questions continued through later installments, alongside changes in Brittany’s working life. In its June 2022 season announcement, We TV described her success in real estate and the resulting shift in childcare responsibilities at home.

The next year brought a change of location. We TV’s January 2023 preview placed Brittany and Marcelino in St. Cloud, Florida, after their move from Las Vegas. The season asked whether starting again away from nearby family could help their marriage. Brittany also appeared in Love After Lockup: Crime Story, the interview-led limited series announced in January 2025, which invited returning participants to discuss their lives before the original program.

By 2026, their television story had shifted toward separation and co-parenting. TMZ reported in July that Marcelino had filed for divorce on June 3; that report did not establish a finalized divorce. We TV subsequently introduced the pair as separated participants in Love After Lockup: Relationship Rehab. The series brought five franchise couples together with psychiatrist Dr. Ish Major to work on their relationships. For Brittany and Marcelino, the network described a goal of improving co-parenting whether or not they could restore their romantic connection.
