Brett Favre and his wife, Deanna Favre, have been through some of the most dramatic highs and lows that any married couple could have. From her breast cancer diagnosis and battle to Brett’s personal struggles, the duo stayed together in spite of everything. But Netflix’s latest documentary Untold: The Fall of Favre, which was released on May 20, 2025, is giving viewers a glimpse into Brett’s other alleged controversies.
Below, News47.us has all the details about Brett’s wife and their marriage.
Deanna is an author and the founder and CEO of the Deanna Favre Hope Foundation. After being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004, Deanna became a fierce advocate in the fight against the illness that affects around one in eight women in the United States.
Brett’s wife wrote about her health journey in an article on Guideposts, recalling the moment she learned of her breast cancer diagnosis.
“That first week of October 2004 was tough, one of those weeks where right out of the blue your life will never be the same again,” Deanna wrote. “Brett was on the phone in minutes. All he could say was, ‘Oh, God.’”
Brett and Deanna have been married since she was 20 years old. The two met in their small Mississippi town when she was just 14, and Deanna got pregnant with her and Brett’s first daughter, Brittany, when she was 19 years old, according to People.
