Roger and Janey's Milestone: 'My Mum, Your Dad' Returns with a Bang
Meet Roger Hawes and Janey Smith, the charming couple who turned their reality show romance on ITV's My Mum, Your Dad into a genuine love story that shows us all how reality TV can spark real-life magic. Introduced to each other by their kids—Roger's daughter Jess, 29, and Janey's son William, 20—they've proven that love knows no age limits, and they're gearing up for a brand-new season!
Before this delightful connection blossomed, Janey faced a series of unsuccessful relationships, while Roger was navigating the difficult journey of mourning his late wife, Joanne, who sadly lost her battle with cancer just 18 months before filming began. Their meeting was unexpected but turned out to be the refreshing change they both needed.
In a sweet Instagram video promoting the upcoming season, Roger fondly reminisced, "As you know, Janey and I met a year ago now on My Mum, Your Dad..." Janey chimes in with excitement, "...and what a year it has been!" Their joyful energy is palpable as they express their mutual affection for each other and reflect on their unique experience.
The couple shared how special the show’s house is to them, saying, "It's gonna be so strange seeing the house again, people in our house. That house has got such wonderful memories for us, and let's hope it creates some wonderful memories for the new people going in." With lighthearted humor, Roger joked, "Us being experts, which we are, we’ll be watching and picking out who we think will be together from the first episode." Janey elegantly closed their video with a touching remark: "Let's hope there are some romances and lovely friendships too."
Recently, the lovebirds, aged 59 and 48, celebrated their first anniversary with an idyllic getaway to the enchanting island of Santorini, Greece. Their post, shared on Instagram, captured a romantic moment against a beautiful rustic wall, with the breathtaking views of the island as a perfect backdrop. Isn’t it wonderful to see couples find reasons to celebrate love amidst their busy lives?
