The Valley‘s Janet Caperna spilled her secret on how she maintains a healthy marriage with her husband, Jason Caperna — and her advice is simpler than you’d think.Â
“I say having two separate bank accounts and two separate bathrooms,” Janet revealed in an exclusive interview with The Daily Dish recently. “It’s nice to have some things that are like our own. I can buy something for myself or a gift for him, and it’s like we have that element of surprise and stuff. And then separate bathrooms. That is really, I think, the secret to a happy marriage.”
The stay-at-home mom even wishes she could take her advice one step further by getting separate closets. “I think having your own space and your own separate things, but then being able to come together and be best friends, [talk] about everything and not [go] to bed angry [is important],” Janet added.
The surprising way Janet and Jason Caperna improved their communication skills
In the interview, Jason added that communication is the “biggest thing” when it comes to maintaining their relationship. He then revealed the shocking reason the California couple’s communication skills improved: “If one of us is having an issue with the other, we usually do address it. And actually, being on this show has helped with that,” Jason said.
Jason went on to explain why their time on The Valley has helped the couple: “When you’re on a reality TV show, it’s just sort of ingrained in you to [be] like, ‘Okay, I got to get all my feelings out. Like anything internal, I got to be external with it.'”

How did Janet Caperna and Jason Caperna meet?
Janet and Jason met through Scheana Shay, who had previously “hooked up with” Jason. Janet described the progression of their relationship in an episode of her and Jason’s podcast, This Side of the Hill, from March 2024.
“So we were both in the friend group from around the same time, we both knew Scheana, and Tom [Sandoval] and Ariana [Madix], the gang,” she explained on the podcast. “And we were friends for almost two years before and hung out all the time actually, partied together quite a bit, saw people we were going on dates with or dating.”
But Janet had to convince Jason to ask her out in a romantic way, rather than a platonic way. “She won me over,” Jason noted on the podcast.
