Brit Prawat’s husband
Brit Prawat and her husband Justin Daniel Prawat are both podcast hosts. While Brit hosts Crime Junkie, Erik is best known as the co-host of the comedy podcast Don’t Blow Your Pod.
The two began their romance in May 2005 and married 12 years later on July 25, 2009.
According to Brit, her husband first proposed to her over the car radio playing All-American Rejects. She describes him as “her biggest supporter, the best father to her kids, and somehow still the funny one in (their) relationship.”
As of November 2021, the couple is happier than ever and lives in Indiana with their two adopted children — a boy and a girl.

Brit Prawat Net Worth
Brit Prawat has a net worth of under $1 million as of 2021.
A crime buff since she was a child, Brit grew up watching recorded interrogations on YouTube. She eventually found herself working for a private investigator for a while, and then introduced her friend, Ashley Flowers, to the Crime Junkie podcast in 2016.
Their podcast is popular among crime enthusiasts, but it has also had its fair share of controversy. Back in early 2019, Brit and Ashley were accused by a former journalist and several other podcasters of using their work in episodes without credit. They also criticized the hosts for quietly deleting episodes after the truth came to light.
Some time later, Crime Junkie lost its position as the number one podcast in the country, all due to plagiarism allegations.
Here are some of their most popular podcasts of 2021 — The Mysterious Death of Ellen Greenberg, Murdered: Enrique Roman Martinez, The Mysterious Death of Patsy Wright, and Arrested: Allan Showery.

Brit Prawat Weight Loss, Illness

Additionally, she cut her hair in late 2019, showing off a completely different look. This may also have led some fans to believe that she has lost weight.
