Despite being in a high-profile relationship, Cami stays out of the spotlight as much as possible and even keeps her social media pages private.
According to her Instagram biography, Cami describes herself as a mom, patient advocate, and says she's living her best life with stage 4 stomach cancer.
She is also a budding philanthropist, and dedicated to volunteering with and raising funds for cancer-related charities.
On May 20, 2024, Cami and Brennan spent a "date night" attending a fundraising event for City of Hope.

Does Cami Elliott have cancer?
Cami received her initial cancer diagnosis in 2018, after years of suffering from reflux pain.
"I thought I was so healthy. I didn’t smoke. I ate well. So it came as a real shock to me. I didn’t even know stomach cancer was a thing," she recalls, as reported by Orange Coast Magazine.
"I’m a clinical psychologist by trade, but through this experience, I found this new calling to advocate for patients to receive personalized care," she adds, revealing that she finally went public with her diagnosis in 2022.
In April 2022, Brennan took to social media where he updated his fans on his wife, revealing that she had been diagnosed with stomach cancer.

"Those closest to me know that my Wife Cami has had several bouts with cancer in the past but now she embarks on a new journey as a Stage IV metastatic gastric cancer patient," Brennan wrote on Instagram.
"There is no one I consider braver, stronger, more Fearless even when you’re Faced with a sinister opponent who never plays fair. Even after countless surgeries and chemotherapy rounds."
On Friday, June 7, Cami shared a post to her private Instagram account, featuring her sleeping in a hospital bed with Brennan by her side.
She underwent a "mass excision surgery," which involved "the removal of her belly button to help fight her gastric cancer," as reported by People.
"Brennan has been pulling double duty, prepping for a movie & coming to see me daily, making the best of a makeshift office in my hospital room as I nap," Cami shared.
According to Healthline, a stage 4 stomach cancer diagnosis means that the disease has spread through tissue, the bloodstream, or the lymph system.
Stage 4 is reportedly harder to treat than earlier stage stomach cancer and while it is not curable, it is treatable.
Some of the most common treatment options include laser therapy, surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy.
There are also some forms of target drug therapy that can be used to treat the advanced stage.
Do Brennan and Cami have any children together?
Since tying the knot in 2011, Brennan and Cami have welcomed two children, a son and a daughter.
Their son, Liam, was born on July 26, 2012.
The couple's daughter, Luna, was born on August 30, 2014.
"I have always said being a father is my most challenging yet most fulfilling role. It was nice to wake up to these two thumbs upping me all morning," the actor captioned a photo of his children on Father's Day 2021.
Brennan's children often make appearances on his social media accounts where he gives fans an inside look at his life outside of the entertainment industry.
