Super cozy and comfortable for their night out, Janet and Maxwell have been friendly for years. Here they are in 2017 at an after part at Barclays Center: 

On being single, Janet shared this with the Guardian: “I know that if someone were to come along, [e]ven if I didn’t recognize it, I guarantee you my friends would shake the shit out of me and say, 'What are you doing?!’” She continued, “But I think I’m seeing it through different lenses now. I think I am breaking that pattern.”

In 2014, Maxwell shared his hopes for marriage, “Hopefully getting married, having kids — the whole thing… I mean, it’s not my ovaries, so I can’t really plan that, but that would be great,” reported AP News.
