Janelle is officially off the market!

Last season on Sister Wives, we watched Janelle briefly discuss easing back into dating and saw her define what her goals for the future were. Since then, she's built her dream home in North Carolina and posted some inspirational content on social media.

And now, she hard launched her new relationship, talking many fans by surprise. She posted a single selfie cuddled up with a new man and wearing the biggest smile. She shared the adorable pic online and introduced us to someone very special to her: Pete.

Janelle wrote, "Some chapters are meant to unfold quietly before they’re shared."

She continued, "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."

She concluded her post, "Everyone please meet Pete."

We're thrilled to see Janelle thriving and we can't meet to learn more about the new man in her life! Check out their first public photo together below.
