Early life and childhood

Janelle was born in May 1969 as Janelle S Shriever and grew up in a non-polygamist family environment. Before starting a relationship with Kody, she was married to Adam Barber for two years. However, just months before Janelle and Kody's union, Janelle's mother entered into a polygamist union with Kody's father Winn Brown. This made Winn both a stepfather and father-in-law to Janelle. Her mother passed away on December 7, 2020.

What does Janelle do for a living?

Strive with Janelle focuses on personal health and wellness, and Brown herself is a certified IIN-Health Coach. According to a report in The List, Janelle started the venture keeping in mind her own struggles with health and quality of life. She wanted to motivate other people in the community who were struggling the same way as her. Reportedly, she had battled with body image and weight issues in the past.

Janelle's relationship with Kody Brown

Janelle is not legally married to Kody, but the duo is in a 'spiritual union' since 1993. They met through mutual friends in 1989, and soon Janelle moved into Kody's ranch in Wyoming. He was married to his first wife Meri Brown at that time. The couple started dating in 1992 and got married the following year. Despite the unusual polygamist nature of the Brown family, Janelle is still very much in love with Kody and often shares photographs of them together.
