Here is everything we have learned about Cody Johnson’s wife.
Who is Cody Johnson married to?
Cody Johnson is married to Brandi Johnson, whom he has known since their teenage years. They have two daughters together, Clara Mae and Cori, born in 2015 and 2017, respectively.
What is Brandi Johnson’s job?
Brandi is the mother of her two children with Johnson. During a 2021 interview with Cowboys & Indians, Johnson spoke about the sacrifices Brandi had made for their family over the years. Johnson was a bull rider and an employee of the Texan prison system. After he quit his prison job to pursue a career in music, Brandi supported him. She quit college and took two jobs, so Johnson could focus on music.
“Do you know what she did? When I quit the prison, she quit going to college and took two jobs so that we could go out and play music,” Johnson recalled. “And we didn’t make any money for the first two years,” he continued.
The country singer added, “That woman is down. That woman is down for the cause.”
Further, Brandi seems to take part in the production of Johnson’s music videos and has appeared in the videos for his songs, including “With You I Am.”
Cody and Brandi Johnson’s relationship history
Brandi saw Johnson perform for the first time at a Future Farmers of America event. He was 17 years old at the time. “The first time I ever saw Cody Johnson perform, I was 14 and a freshman in high school,” Brandi said in the 2021 documentary Dear Rodeo: The Cody Johnson Story. “I was competing in FFA. He had a talent team with some kids from his school and his cousin. My girlfriends and I sat front row, underneath the stage. He was so cute and so talented. I remember he had a broken leg. I now know it was from riding bulls.”
They formally met four years later after Johnson saw Brandi at a strip mall in Texas. The couple started dating and got engaged a year later. They tied the knot in 2008.
