Brennan and Jobs began dating in 1972, their senior year in high school. Brennan stayed connected to Jobs during his time at Reed College. Brennan, a senior at Homestead High School at the time, backed Jobs when he informed her he intended to quit Reed because she didn’t have any intentions to attend college.
Even though Brennan stopped visiting him, he continued attending classes by auditing them. Later, Jobs extended an invitation to her to stay with him in a house he had rented near the Reed campus, but she declined.
Jobs returned to the San Francisco Bay Area in mid-1973. Brennan claims that at this point, their “Relationship was difficult. I couldn’t break the link and I couldn’t commit.
Neither could Steve.” Brennan would periodically accompany Jobs as he hitchhiked and worked his way throughout the West Coast. Brennan added, “At the same time, “Steve and I gradually drifted apart.
But we were never able to let go completely. We never discussed breaking up or splitting up, and we never had that conversation where one person says it’s over.” They grew separated, but Jobs would still seek her out and pay her visits. They kept involved with one another while seeing other individuals.
