Shanahan and Bryn had announced their divorce earlier this year over “irreconcilable differences” however a Wall Street Journal report claimed that Shanahan was allegedly involved in an extramarital relationship with the Tesla chief.

Shanahan reportedly runs a philanthropic foundation which promotes criminal justice reforms and reproductive rights and was married to Brin for nearly four years.
Shanahan was earlier married to a finance executive. Reports claim Brin and Shanahan were facing problems during the coronavirus shutdown. The couple gave birth to a baby girl in 2018.
She grew up in Oakland and is the daughter of a Chinese immigrant mother.
Shanahan is also a tech entrepreneur and had reportedly started ClearAccessIP which uses artificial intelligence to manage patents. The company was sold two years ago. She holds a law degree and studied at the University of Puget Sound.
