Brittany Favre went on Claim to Fame anonymously, but fans figured out she's Brett Favre's daughter
Brittany Favre-Mallion is best known as the eldest daughter of NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre — but she is far more than a famous surname. In 2022, she stepped into the spotlight herself when she joined ABC's celebrity-relative reality show Claim to Fame, competing anonymously before fans pieced together her identity almost immediately. A qualified lawyer turned artist, Brittany has built a quiet life largely on her own terms, raising three sons and advocating openly for mental health.

What is Brittany Favre famous for?
Brittany Favre-Mallion is the daughter of Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre. For most of her life, she avoided the media attention that came with that name. Prior to appearing on Claim to Fame, she was a relatively unknown figure, and she revealed that she had tried to avoid the attention that comes with being the daughter and part of Brett Favre's family.
That changed in the summer of 2022. Brittany joined ABC's reality competition series Claim to Fame on the season's premiere, a show in which 12 celebrity relatives live under one roof, compete in challenges, and conceal their true identities while competing for a $100,000 prize.
How fans figured out her identity on Claim to Fame
During the premiere, a contestant named Brittany shared three facts about herself, saying: "My name is Brittany. My celebrity relative is my dad, and he is most known for being an athlete." Viewers at home heard a "lie" buzzer go off when she mentioned an Emmy Award, but her fellow contestants were not tipped off.
Shortly after, she revealed that her dad "is a Super Bowl champion and Hall of Fame quarterback" — and her first name alone was enough for fans to narrow things down.
"My dad and I are really close. I did inherit his competitive nature. At my house, winning is the only option." — Brittany Favre-Mallion, Claim to Fame
Ultimately, Brittany was eliminated when she attempted to guess contestant Kai's famous relative, guessing Kai was related to Andra Day — and was sent home after guessing wrong.
Brittany was eliminated from Claim to Fame in the fourth episode. Following her elimination, she revealed to Distractify that her dad "loves the show."
"He loves the show. He loves all competition television shows, of course. So he's super excited that he actually has, you know, like a stake in one of them. He's super proud of me and proud of how I handled myself." — Brittany Favre-Mallion, Distractify
Who is the mother of Brittany Favre?
Brittany's mother is Deanna Tynes Favre. Deanna is an American author and the Founder and CEO of the Deanna Favre Hope Foundation. Brett was 19 when he and Deanna — his girlfriend at the time — had Brittany in 1989. The couple married in 1996 and later had another daughter, Breleigh, in 1999.
When Brittany was selected for Claim to Fame, her parents had very different reactions. In an interview with the Green Bay Press-Gazette, Brittany revealed she called her father first. Brett's honest reaction was: "Absolutely. That sounds so much fun. You should do that. That's great." Her mother, however, said: "That is a terrible idea. Are you sure you want to be on TV?"
Brittany Favre's education and career
Brittany Favre college and law school
Brittany, born in 1989, graduated with a law degree from Loyola University's School of Law in 2015, while raising two children. It was far from an easy journey. She has 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 a week, and Alex had a way of calming me and helping me remember the purpose of this struggle."
She continued,
"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." — Brittany Favre-Mallion, Bleacher Report
From law to art
Though Brittany graduated from Loyola University's College of Law in 2015, she has since given up her career as a lawyer to become an artist. She frequently showcases her artwork on Instagram and has exhibited her work at art shows.
She has also used her social media presence to bring attention to mental health issues, which she has struggled with herself.
Speaking to the Green Bay Press-Gazette, she said:
"I've never really been in the spotlight before and that was intentional, and I've gone through a lot of things in terms of mental health issues... I've put my family through a lot of stress, and we're finally on the other side of it. I wanted my kids to see me do something like this that would make them proud of me."
