Aari McDonald has received an opportunity to show her abilities in the WNBA out of nowhere. She was waived by the Los Angeles Sparks earlier this season after facing a lot of competition from other guards. McDonald has had a solid four years in the WNBA, with three out of those being with the side she was drafted by in the 2021 draft, the Atlanta Dream.  Now that she has this chance to prove herself, let’s find out who has been her support system all this time: her husband, Devon Brewer. 

Who is Aari McDonald’s husband, Devon Brewer?

Devon Brewer is a former defensive back for the University of Arizona football team. A native of Fresno, he attended Central East High School and Milford Academy. He was rated a three-star recruit coming out of high school. During his time at Arizona, Brewer earned a bachelor’s degree in Education with a focus on Teaching Individuals with Specific Learning Disabilities. His exact date of birth is not known; he graduated from Arizona in 2018, so he is likely to have been born in 1997.

Devon has supported Aari through thick and thin. In 2021, when McDonald completed her college career, achieved her WNBA draft dream, and then took up her first pro contract in Hungary, she was homesick and struggled.

“It was during Covid and there was burnout for me,” she explained. “My confidence was really shot, it was hard. I found myself in a different culture; there was a language barrier and I wasn’t able to perform. My husband wasn’t there; I wasn’t able to produce and play well for my team.”

What is Devon Brewer’s height and age?

If we take that estimated year of birth as 1997, his age right now would be about 28. His height is 5’10. 

When did Aari McDonald meet Devon Brewer? 

Aari and Devon are teenage sweethearts. While they got together at the University of Arizona, they knew each other from high school. They have iterated the story of how they met on their YouTube channel, where they mentioned that Aari had a slight crush on him since the fourth grade, but did not do anything about it. 

Aari said, “He was the first person i’ve seen on campus for summer school; literally, my first day, I was walking to the academic center with my teammate and i seen him. I’m like, what? I know him and so it wasn’t planned.”

Since they hailed from the same city, they found comfort at a new place with each other and have been together ever since. Devon proposed to her after the Wildcats were eliminated from the Pac-12 Tournament in 2020. They got married in September 2021. 

What does Devon Brewer do for a living? 

Devon Brewer is currently a behavioral health technician at GAP Ministries, where he works with kids with behavior problems. He had taken a leave from his job to join Aari on her international journey in Australia, where she played for the Perth Lynx in the 2023–24 WNBL season. 

Aari has acknowledged his support; as she said in 2021, “He’s made a sacrifice to come out here and make sure I’m comfortable. I’m able to sleep and be in a calm state of mind, having him in the stands for the games is really big.”

Then he likely accompanied her to China, where Aari played for the Beijing Great Wall. Then she was back in the US last year playing for the Los Angeles Sparks in the WNBA.
