I don’t know what I’m gonna do,” she said during an appearance on Kate and Oliver Hudson’s Sibling Revelry podcast. “I’m not really interested in getting married again or even really dating at this stage.

“I used to think I’d ‘broken’ at certain points in my life,” Janelle shared in a December 2025 post on Instagram. “Leaving the show… leaving a marriage… starting over at an age where everyone expects you to have it all figured out.
“Shedding feels painful while you’re in it, but on the other side you realize you didn’t lose yourself… you uncovered her,” she added. “…If everything feels like it’s falling apart… just hold on. Most of the time, it’s actually falling away.”
