Intro
Janai Norman will never not be in the news. Well, in my defense, she is literally always on the news. OK. Wasn’t tryna sound profound with that one. But, like, Janai is that TV girl everyone loves. And her career? Definitively has been on the incline.
She trended over the holiday in December 2023 because, apparently, she announced she and her husband, Eli Norman, welcomed their third child, a baby boy, a month earlier. She shared the good news on December 28, however, her new baby was actually born in November 2023.
Fast-forward to September 2024, she is back on the news — well, back from ‘maternity leave.’ Back to hosting the widely-watched America’s TV show, “Good Morning America.” OK, y’all, this is prolly beginning to get boring, but I promise, this should be fun. XD
