Age, Early Life, and Education Background

Chris Potoski was born in the USA in 1972, which makes him around 50 years old as of 2022 – he hasn’t revealed the exact place and date of birth. He was raised the only child by his unnamed parents, who both led successful legal careers. Reportedly, Chris doesn’t get along well with his parents, and has revealed that he hasn’t seen them face to face since 2000.

Chris grew up very physically active, and was very interested in kickboxing, then became interested in soccer and acting when he joined high school. He played for his school’s soccer team, which made him a very popular student. He matriculated to Central Michigan University in 1990 to study Physiology and Kinesiology, and it’s reported that he took two more years to graduate (1995).

Hobbies and Interests

Potoski is a huge fan of billiards, golf, and tennis. He also hits the gym regularly to maintain his athletic body.

His career has seen him visiting nearly all US states, and European destinations such as Greece, Italy and England. He said during an interview that he’s never traveled to Alaska because it’s too cold for him.

Career

Shortly after he graduated from college, Potoski landed a job at Curative Health Services in Setauket, New York. He served as Business Development Director for nearly five years before he left the firm to work as the Vice President of the Florida-based National Healing Corporation, staying with the firm for five years from 1999 to June 2004. Subsequently, Brandi’s husband founded the company, No Rivals Media, and worked as its Chief Executive Officer until 2008. He later created another firm, TJC Assets management, which specializes in digital media assets, domain and content management. Shortly afterward, he created another software firm, Invixis.

In 2011 Potoski secured the Vice Presidency job at Regent Medical Solutions. He quit two years later, and in 2014 launched the company Tracey Jordan Properties, which is a boutique and luxury property developer that specialize in managing digital assets, and now owns several luxury hotels. He now works as the CEO of both TJC Assets Management and Tracey Jordan Properties.

Chris has tried his hand at acting and appeared alongside his wife in the documentary comedy series “Penn & Teller: Bullshit!”, which aired on the Showtime network from 2003 to 2010. He is reportedly also working in the adult film industry, just like his wife.

Personal Life

Chris and Brandi met in college in 1991, and dated for three years before they walked the aisle in a private wedding that was attended only by their family and closest friends in 1994. The duo welcomed a daughter in 2000, but have kept her name a secret. It’s reported that Potoski suffered a heart attack in 2000, and his doctor advised him to find another line of work because he believed that his career as a businessman was too demanding for him. As a result, he ventured into the adult film industry. His parents were not okay with his decision, because they believed that it would negatively impact the life of their daughter but Chris didn’t stop making pornographic videos. Because of this, Chris and his wife have not been on good terms with their parents since 2000.

Controversy

Previously, Chris’ in-laws felt that their granddaughter was in an unsafe growing environment, and wanted to have sole custody of her due to Brandi Love’s line of work. Brandi and Chris tried to challenge their decision, but had trouble securing legal representation, perhaps because of the nature of their jobs. Luckily, they won the child custody case after contacting child protection services. The couple later founded the website, Parent in Adult, to help other pornographic actors get legal representation easily. Despite working as a porn star, Brandi’s marriage (open relationship) seems not to be affected.

Height, Weight, and Physical Appearance

Chris is of Caucasian ethnicity, and has a pair of green eyes and dark brown hair. He is 5ft 9ins (1.75m) tall and weighs around 165lbs (75kgs).

Net Worth

Potoski has been involved in the real estate business for over two decades now, which has seen his wealth grow steadily. He has also accumulated a good sum from his involvement in the adult film industry, and is reportedly worth approximately $10 million as of 2022.

Who Is Chris Potoski’s Better Half, Brandi Love?

Brandi Love was born Tracey Lynn Livermore in North Carolina, USA, under the Aries zodiac sign on 29 March 1973, which makes her 49 years old as of 2022. She spent her childhood in Dearborn, Michigan, and is of mixed English and German roots; she’s an alumnus of Central Michigan University.

Cooper Douglas Kupp was born on 15 June 1993 in Yakima, Washington State, USA, the son of Craig and Karin Kupp. He comes from a family of National Football League players and coaches. His father Craig was an NFL quarterback, while his grandfather Jake Kupp was an NFL offensive lineman.

He went to Davis High School, where he played football and basketball. He excelled in football, winning a number of awards, but he didn’t receive any college football scholarship offer until three weeks following the final game of his senior season, from Eastern Washington University, and then he received an offer from Idaho State.

He chose Eastern Washington University and was redshirted the first year. In his four years at Eastern Washington University, he played in 52 games and scored 73 touchdowns, winning several awards, including First-team FCS All-American selection and Walter Payton Award.

Cooper was picked by the Los Angeles Rams in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft, as the 69th pick overall. He was the seventh wide receiver in the draft and the second-highest drafted from Eastern Washington. Michael Ross was recruited as the 41st pick overall back in the 2005 NFL Draft.

He signed a four-year deal with the Rams worth $3.83 million, with a signing bonus of $954,760. Cooper had a tough competition to make the starting line-up, as Tavon Austin, Mike Thomas, Pharoh Cooper, Bradley Marquez, Robert Woods and Josh Reynolds all competed to get into the line-up during the training camp.

He made his debut in the first game of the season, which the Rams played against the Indianapolis Colts. He scored a touchdown and had a total of 76 yards from four receptions. He played in 15 games in his rookie season, starting six games, managing to score five touchdowns and had 869 receiving yards.

His successful first season provided him with a starting spot for 2018, but which was unfortunately cut short due to a torn ACL.

He returned to the field on the first day of the 2019 season, and played through the entire season, securing his first 1000+ receiving yards season, with 1,161 for 10 touchdowns.

In 2020, he signed a three-year deal worth $48 million, which included $35.1 million guaranteed, but the season was a disaster, as he had 92 receptions for 974 yards and only three touchdowns.

Nevertheless, he returned better and stronger in 2021. This was his breakthrough season, as Kupp posted the best numbers to date, playing in 17 games that year, and scoring 16 touchdowns from 1,947 receiving yards. He won the AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year, and as the Rams reached the Super Bowl, Cooper won the Super Bowl MVP award as he helped the Rams defeat the Cincinnati Bengals 23:20, scoring the last touchdown of the game to give the Rams the lead.

Before the next season began, Cooper signed a new three-year contract with the Rams worth $80 million. He’s played in eight games in the 2022 season so far, and has scored six touchdowns from 813 receiving yards.

Since starting his professional career, Cooper has broken several records, including:
