Janelle Brown is already imagining a lasting future with her new boyfriend, Pete, and their latest social media moment has fans cheering them on.
In an Instagram video shared on Wednesday, October 21, the couple sat together in rocking chairs on a porch, enjoying a beautiful fall afternoon. Pete shared the clip with a heartfelt caption: “Beautiful fall afternoon. Rockin with my baby. This is forever.”
The video also revealed just how far ahead the couple is thinking.
“Okay, we’re predicting this is us in five years,” Pete said to the camera.
Janelle had a much longer timeline in mind. “Oh no. Let’s say 30,” she replied.
Pete appeared momentarily confused, asking, “Wait… six years?” When Janelle repeated, “30,” he finally caught on. “Oh, my God. 30, okay,” he said, as Janelle added that they would still be sitting together in their rocking chairs.
Janelle Brown’s New Chapter After Her Split From Kody
Janelle’s relationship with Pete comes after the end of her long relationship with Kody Brown, whose plural marriage was documented on TLC’s Sister Wives.
Janelle was one of Kody’s four wives, alongside Meri, Christine, and Robyn Brown. Over the past several years, the family’s relationships underwent significant changes. Janelle, Meri, and Christine all separated from Kody, leaving Robyn as his only remaining wife.
Janelle and Kody were together for approximately 30 years and share six children: Logan, Madison, Hunter, Garrison, Gabriel, and Savanah. Their son Garrison died by suicide in 2024.
Janelle introduced Pete to her Instagram followers in August, sharing a photo of herself embracing him and reflecting on the unexpected romance.
“Some chapters are meant to unfold quietly before they’re shared,” she wrote. “I wasn’t looking. I certainly wasn’t expecting you. And somehow, you turned out to be exactly what I didn’t know I needed. And it has been pretty wonderful. Everyone please meet Pete.”
‘Sister Wives’ Teased the Romance in Season 21
Janelle and Pete’s relationship has also become part of the story surrounding the currently airing 21st season of Sister Wives.
A season trailer offered a glimpse of their early connection, showing Janelle hugging a man and greeting him with, “Nice to meet you.” In a confessional, she identified him as Peter and shared her positive first impression.
“His name is Peter, and there are no red flags. Peter is so nice,” she said.
Although Pete has yet to make his debut on the show, Janelle’s social media posts have already given fans a glimpse into their relationship.
Fans Are Rooting for Janelle and Pete
The couple’s latest video prompted an outpouring of supportive comments from followers who were delighted to see Janelle looking happy.
“I’m so happy for you both,” one person wrote, while another commented, “So happy for you, Janelle!!”
Other fans were charmed by the couple’s rocking-chair plans, with one asking when they would be getting a porch swing. Another shared a heartfelt message wishing the pair “countless years of love” and, naturally, plenty of time sitting on the porch.
Several commenters also praised Janelle for finding happiness again, with one writing that she deserved all the love and joy coming her way.
For now, Janelle and Pete appear to be enjoying their relationship while already joking about spending decades together. Their playful exchange has given fans another reason to celebrate this new chapter in Janelle’s life.
