'I Love a Mama’s Boy' star Janelle McAloon took a playful jab at her mother-in-law Tina McAloon on Sunday, November 17, 2024, following the announcement of her pregnancy. TLC shared a video on their official Instagram showing Janelle holding a positive pregnancy test and saying, “Tina can say all she wants about us having a fifth kid or not, but joke’s on her because I’m pregnant. Surprise, b***h!” This comes amid growing tensions between Janelle and Tina, who had opposed the couple’s plans to expand their family.

Janelle had previously shared the pregnancy news with her followers on Instagram on Tuesday, September 3, 2024, announcing that she and her husband, Josh McAloon, are expecting their fifth child—a boy. Since then, Janelle has been regularly updating her fans on how she's handling her pregnancy, often sharing fun and lighthearted moments with Josh and their four kids. This latest comment seems to be a subtle swipe at Tina, who has been vocal about her disapproval of the couple adding to their family. The two have had disagreements about the decision. In a previous clip, Janelle and Josh expressed their desire for another child, prompting Tina, who was sitting beside Josh, to plead, “Not now, guys. Come on.” Janelle quickly fired back, saying, “It’s not your decision.”

Is Janelle McAloon with Josh McAloon for reality TV fame?

With Josh McAloon often showing signs of being an inattentive husband, it raises the question of why Janelle chooses to stay.
