Burning with excitement, the 53-year-old revealed in the post's caption that she would not have to travel long distances to visit her son as the 25-year-old chose to move close to home. The reality TV star wrote:

The Health Coach Opened Up About The Joy Of Being A Grandmother

Earlier this year, The Blast reported that Janelle loved being a grandmother as much as she enjoyed being the proud mother of six children.

The tender moment captured Evie watching her grandma eat the tasty-looking treat while Janelle wrapped a protective arm around the youngster.
