Unfortunately the good times did not last and in December 2016 the two finally confirmed that they had broken up for good.Feud With Brother: In 2017 Jeanie's brother Johnny moved to take control of The Lakers away from his sister. After an extended battle, the coup ended with Jeanie taking even greater control of the team. She is now 100% in charge of all Laker decisions for the family.
