It’s been a month since Janet Street-Porter tied the knot with her long-time partner, Peter Spanton, and the celebrated broadcaster and Loose Women panellist is opening up about her newfound happiness. The 79-year-old media personality, known for her bold opinions and candid approach to life, has revealed that this period marks the “happiest time of her life.”
Speaking with The Independent, Janet reflected on the journey to her fifth marriage, explaining that despite her past experiences, this relationship feels uniquely fulfilling. “I’ve never been more certain about anything in my life. Peter and I have built a beautiful life together, and now, after a month of marriage, I can say without a doubt, this is the happiest time of my life,” she shared, her voice filled with emotion.
A Love that Endures
Janet and Peter, who have been together for many years, celebrated their wedding in a small and intimate ceremony on January 31, 2026. Though the couple has always kept their personal life private, the announcement of their marriage caught many fans by surprise. But for Janet, it was the perfect time to solidify their commitment after years of love, trust, and mutual respect.
“We’ve been through so much together,” Janet continued. “The ups and downs of life, work, and personal struggles. But this wedding symbolized something I never expected — a true partnership, where both of us support each other wholeheartedly.”
Strength, Healing, and Family
Janet’s career in the public eye has been nothing short of illustrious, yet she’s always kept a firm boundary when it comes to sharing her private life. Her relationship with Peter, which started decades ago, was built on a foundation of trust and mutual respect. They have been there for each other through thick and thin, and Janet credits Peter for his unwavering support, especially in recent years.
“It’s not always been easy,” Janet admitted. “But we’ve faced every challenge together, and we’ve come out stronger on the other side.”
The couple, whose private lives have often been a subject of media speculation, say they are happier than ever. “It’s not about the big weddings or the glamorous celebrations,” she explained. “It’s about quiet moments, respect, and a commitment to each other.”
A Quiet Happiness
Now, after a month of marriage, Janet is relishing the quiet moments of their life together. She credits Peter for bringing a sense of calm and joy to her world, one that had been filled with the hustle and bustle of the public eye.
“I think sometimes we forget what truly matters in life,” Janet reflected. “We live in a world that’s constantly moving, and it’s easy to get caught up in the chaos. But after marrying Peter, I realized the beauty in slowing down, cherishing the people who truly matter, and embracing love in its purest form.”
Looking Ahead with Love
As Janet and Peter look forward to their future together, they’re taking it one step at a time, content in their shared love and mutual respect. The happiness they’ve found together is not something Janet takes lightly, and she feels more grateful than ever for the life she has built with Peter by her side.
“It’s a fresh start, a new chapter,” she said with a smile. “And I’m so incredibly lucky to be sharing it with someone who understands me, supports me, and loves me unconditionally.”
For Janet Street-Porter, the happiest time of her life may have just begun, but she’s already enjoying every moment of it — with the love of her life, Peter Spanton, by her side.
