VLOG: an honest chat about our relationship, long distance dating thoughts (+ dog beach and hikes!)

[@dianaallen5700]

We love Jordy. We want to see as much of him as he is comfortable with. He makes you happy and he's a part of your life and if you're ok with sharing him with us it's perfect. I'm so happy you found each other.

So well said! Jordy rocks!

[@sashapadin2443]

@@MichelJanse I agree. Share as much as you are comfortable with. We are in YOUR journey! 😊❤

[@wendyshoup8539]

We followed you during your darkest days... We will definitively follow you in these happy times! I, personally love seeing you and Jordy together!

[@MichelJanse]

Thank you so much for being here friend, It is truly an honor 🫶🏼🥰🤍

[@psk8900]

Hi Michel! The first video of yours that I came across was the one where you talked about your divorce. You were so candid, open and raw and it reminded me of a similar experience I went through a few years ago. Watching you redefine your life, finding a new you after everything you went through - I found myself rooting for you. It is great to see you so happy - on your own and with Jordy who seems to be a lovely, caring man. :)

[@lyssaevelyn7737]

I love seeing Jordy when you're with him, he's part of your life, and if you wanna share your time together we're happy to see it! Just don't feel obligated to share it all with us, because you need personal time together too. Honestly I'll watch anything you're willing to share is what I'm trying to say. 💜💜

[@snowboardandasuitcase]

For 1 vs 2 day vlogs, I like them both and I think most people would agree that we're here for whatever is best for you; we're all here for longevity! I like both styles; I love the montagey vids but I also feel like your personality has really come through for me over the last several months with chattier vids too. Your goofy side is gold 💛 same goes for Jordy content, whatever you want to share, we're here for it & think he's adorable!

[@lizzygrace6322]

I couldn’t have said it any better!

[@louisedurrant1804]

Perfect x

[@MichelJanse]

AWE, this just made my day 🥹🥰🫶🏼

[@Chewberika]

The difference between how Jordi supports you in your blog and how your ex always seemed annoyed is like nite and day. Having Jordi be visible but just in glimpses seems the best to keep you the focus.

[@lizzygrace6322]

100%!!

[@sahara3790]

Jordy is genuinely a very sweet and authentic person. You can see how much he cares and respects you. I like you together.

How can I find a guy as emotionally intelligent and wise as jordy #goals

[@Macee1004]

Michel, this is the type of relationship you have always deserved 💕 It’s wonderful to see you so happy & shining bright!

[@khroniclesofkoko]

I really love the question Jordy asked, " What are things that I do that annoy you ". I feel like it can be difficult and go pretty left to be honest. I also think when a couple has built that foundation of love and trust, it can be a beautiful opportunity to bond and grow deeper into "how can I love you more? What can I do to enrichen our relationship " because at the end of the day no one is perfect yk and we're all growing❤ I love how comfortable Jordy is to not only be excited, be affectionate towards you but also share his thoughts vulnerably. It feels like he has taken time to think about things and be honest with himself. Love that

[@erikaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

you making the bed while max sits in the middle of it and looks insulted at being disturbed is so relatable- mine does the same exact thing!

[@MichelJanse]

HAHAHAHAHA

[@rockerchick6168]

I think it’s so nice that overtime we’ve seen more of Jordy and got to know him through this way. He does seem very chill which I think is a good balance for you, to help keep you in check, but also support you when you need it. I think your thought process on the next year is a good idea. Spend another year doing the things you want, and then if you’re ready, combine lives at some point. Jordy seems very loving and down to earth, which is very refreshing.

[@kathya9522]

It just seems natural for us to see Jordy when y’all are in the the same place. He seems interested in and is very supportive of your job, plus he is a lot of fun. As to one day or multi-day vlogs, I think that is entirely up to you. I like all your content. Your pottery is lovely. First tries are usually kind of sad, but yours looks great.

[@taylorspataro9033]

My (now) husband and I dated long distance for about 4.5 years while he was in the military. As hard as it was it’s an experience that has helped strengthen our marriage. Our communication was something learned while being long distance and has proved to be so valuable. It’s a unique experience that not a lot of people can truly understand so props to you for making the hard decision to continue taking things slow!

[@marybeemsterboer4436]

The 2 day blogs are fun and it's so fun to see you with Jordy.

[@MichelJanse]

🥰

[@jennyreed3331]

I love the 2 day vlogs; I like seeing a little bit of everything rather than longer segments/chats in the 1 day vlogs. Also we love seeing Jordy!

[@irmatalamantes2041]

Hi Michel, it’s so nice to see how happy you are when you’re with Jordy. I wish both of you the very best. It’s obvious to me that you are so in love with Jordy. I can tell he really likes you but it’s obvious that you are in love and not just in like. I just hope you don’t get hurt, you’ve already been through so much hurt.

[@hannahrule4665]

I love this conversation with Jordy. My husband and I met in the same city and after 5 months I moved 2 hours away (not really long distance, but not every day contact). We dated, got engaged, and we're married for 7 months all long distance. I'm with Jordy, we were committed and cared for the happiness of the other person more than the inconveniences. We've also had to learn how to not spend every waking moment with each other because for a nearly 2 years we had small amounts of time together. It's been hard, but 4.5 years into our marriage, it's all been worth it 💛

[@elecops9825]

Your pottery looks amazing so far! And Max was so cute at the dog beach, with his face getting all sandy 😆

[@kathyjohnson1911]

Absolutely my favorite parts, too:-)

[@MichelJanse]

He absolutely loved it!! Thank you sweet Ele🥰🤍

[@glittermeaway]

We love seeing Jordy and him being in your videos as much as you want him in them.

[@RavenStorm1031]

I'm so here for Michel being on her own and being with Jordy!!! JORDY WE LOVE YOU!!! Your are amazing for Michel thank you for loving her!!!💜💜💜

[@mwalton504]

Mr. Jordy is a keeper. I'm happy for you. I hope you have a very blessed 2023.

[@aomumoo]

I know that I like watching vlogs from creators because it’s fun to get a peek into someone else’s life. And I’ve watched a few who shared boyfriends that stayed, or left, or friends, etc. It’s really about watching your life evolve and it’s really nice to see reminders of how life flows for everyone. So Jordy content is totally normal and welcomed.

[@epicnessa2334]

So, I was prepared to not like Jordy. Mostly because I got to see how much you went through. I was scared for you. But I can’t help but find myself smiling every time you and jordy are together. It’s obvious you two are happy and I’m in full support of you doing whatever you want with your channel. Jordy every video or not - I’ll watch ❤ you’re my piece of sunshine here on YT!

[@nataliegjatzlau]

I enjoy how much jordy is in your vlogs. It's still your channel and life he shows up when you see him. It's just like when I'm friends with someone we talk about their life and whether that includes someone else or not, it just comes up because that's part of their life!

[@Blurggg]

Jordy is officially in my Spotify rotation. Your music is so infectious and such a nice boost of serotonin on a boring work day!

[@brittneyvetten1957]

Michel, your vlogs are hands down my favorite to watch. I love them all. There are several creators I watch on here, but your channel always stands out the most for me because you always vlog. I follow Carrie Dayton, Chloe, Sierra Shultzzie, and Molly Burke. They are all great creators, but for me, you're at the top. Your channel is just so real, down to earth, and I'm always just so dang proud of you and what you're doing with your life. Me and you have very similar journeys (health wise and divorced) I however am a little older and have 2 kiddos.

[@muffitsg]

Jordy is so wise, what he said in the car chat was awesome. Michel I will watch any content that you do, you brighten my day and Jordy is always a bonus. Also the Sherlock hat proves that you can wear anything and look stunning 😀

[@LittleMissSunnydays.4456]

I totally see where you’re coming from Michel when you said about how particular you are. I think part of it is you’re still trying to figure things out & don’t wanna let your hopes up or guards down & that’s just part of your healing process . I’m not sure what Jordys background really is but he seems like he just wants to try to see the positive in each situation & not hurt anyone’s feeling which is good to have but also just making sure you can still see the truth in each situation!

[@jamie00000qqr]

Selfishly, I love the 2-day videos because they tend to be longer, and the more content I get to watch, the better ☺️ but we’re happy with whatever you’re willing to give us! Love Jordy and his positive spirit; happy to have him as much as you’re willing to show! Oceanside/Jordy time really suits you, you seem to be thriving out there! ❤✨🥰

[@susansquire9741]

I live seeing you and Jordy together. I'm glad you've found each order! It gives me hope that I'll find someone too. He's so sweet and kind and so positive! Love you both!

[@reesac34]

Love seeing Jordy with you it adds to the Vlogs because instead of one smile we get to see two smiles and when you are together the smiles are totally in sync showing your care for each other.

[@Yourworkathomecoach]

You give me hope at 45 of such sweet love. Please share what you want. I love seeing you and Jordy, he is amazing and I love how he treats you.

[@artbyduck-darlenegillet1935]

I think that Jordy is adorable. I also think that the both of you are taking your relationship at a pace that is comfortable to you both. I have been married 23 years, and I have discovered that communication is key to a healthy relationship. You got this.

Loved this video, everything about it. Jordy and the coffee chat y’all had with us. Max and the beach. The thrive market haul. All of it, and I would love to see Jordy as much as he would let us!! 🥰🥰 I will say this again, love seeing you so happy 😍

[@kellyhowatt2908]

I found your channel a while back. Saw your entire divorce " situation" it is so nice to see you with someone who is honest and kind and clearly loves and appreciates you. Enjoy!

[@DonnasWonderland]

I love seeing what you and Jordy are up to but equally, I appreciate that it's a new relationship and you want to nurture that and not have every moment up for consumption. I think do what works for you both keep the lines of communication open and be flexible what works now might not work down the line and be okay with changes. As long as you guys are happy with the balance I'm sure everyone else will get on board. It's lovely to see you both having fun and enjoying each other's company. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we certainly don't hate you, Jordy, how could we when you put such a smile on Michel's face :)

[@EllieMaloney-ut8lp]

I love your pottery! maybe you could make a little dish to go in the kitchen for any jewelry you don't like to have on while cooking (rings/bracelets). Hope you have a relaxing sunday and feel refreshed for the new week. :)

[@MichelJanse]

Oo that is a great idea!! Thank you friend 🥰🥰

[@EllieMaloney-ut8lp]

[@sylviaberryhill7027]

Being 54 I have learned few things: women tend to have conversations in their heads and two different outcomes before anything happens and we like to be prepared and men NEVER do that. So don't overthink most of the time we are fighting with ourselves about nothing that really matters. Note that men do care just that they dont plan on what we will say. Breathe

Jordy is pure gold! I love seeing content with you guys together. That little pottery bowl would be so cute for storing garlic, salt, or maybe butter?

[@lisak603]

My now husband and I met and unexpectedly fell into our relationship and neither of us were looking. It has turned out to be the best thing. ❤ I have watched older videos and all I will say is, you and Jordy fit together really well and you both seem completely at ease. I get really good vibes from your time together and would love to see him in future videos. Glad you’re having a blast in Cali !

I love both your 1 day and 2 day vlogs. As for Jordy, he is a keeper. It's nice to see you look at him and see you happy. Everyone has their own quirks, but those are little things that can be overcome by compromise. I can't wait until your next vlog.

[@najetteroberts5553]

Same feeling, love Jordy and you together. He just seems so sweet for you and to you. That is a keeper in my opinion. It's cool to see your relationship growing and to see where it goes. ✨️ you balance each other out.

[@sallycroft2191]

Love you both are taking this year to date before jumping into marriage. If it is meant to be in the interest of both of you, it will happen. Also, I am impressed how well you are doing with making your pottery pieces, Michel. Excellent instruction and care.

Jordy 😂 "let me know if you don't like me" lol, he's adorable. He's definitely engaged in the relationship. I think we're happy to see him 😊

[@newdayscoming4270]

What ever you decide is great either way. About the long distance relationship…..I always say, give yourself enough time to really miss each other between visits. Because no matter how much love you share, without time away from each other, you’ll never appreciate the solid feelings that your gut tells you. You want to be able to truly miss each other. Build an un breakable bond that time and space can’t tear apart. I hope that makes sense. ❤❤

Oh my gosh! When you guys did the synchronized “coffee car chat” it totally reminded me of Michael & Holly from The Office and Jim realizing why they were perfect together….Jim: "I can't believe I'm saying this, but Michael is actually killing it with Holly.

I would love to see you and Jordy get married some day and for you to have the life you deserve.
