Janelle Brown is not being subtle about her new relationship, and fans are loving every second of it. The Sister Wives star, 57, shared an Instagram post on September 16 praising her boyfriend Pete, saying he drives, opens her car door, and makes sure she’s taken care of. She described it as being spoiled in lots of old fashioned ways, and added that no one has ever watched out for her the way he does.
The timing makes it even sweeter. Janelle split from Kody Brown in 2022 and went public with Pete this past August, so this is her first real romance update since leaving the plural marriage behind. Meanwhile, the rest of the family is thriving too. Christine Brown married David Woolley in 2023, and season 21 of Sister Wives will bring both Janelle’s and Christine’s new partners to the screen. Kody and Robyn Brown, on the other hand, are exiting the show after 16 years.
It’s a full-on reboot for the Brown family, in front of the cameras and off. Janelle’s take on romance, the small gestures, the feeling of being cared for, is the kind of thing that resonates whether you’ve watched the show for a decade or just started paying attention. What’s your must-have green flag in a new relationship?
