Jane Kilcher, one of the stars of the reality show Alaska: The Last Frontier, has recently gone through a painful divorce from her husband of 17 years, Atz Lee Kilcher. The couple, who met in their hometown of Homer, Alaska, and shared a love for the wilderness, announced their split on social media, shocking their fans and followers.

Jane took to Facebook on July 23, 2023, to break the news, writing:

“Here we go. Atz Lee is divorcing me and it is very unfortunate but I cannot control it. Lost my best friend and it hurts but I guess that is life . It wonā€™t stop me.”

She did not reveal the reason for their divorce, but she made it clear that she had no hard feelings towards Atz Lee. In fact, she even defended him from online trolls who accused him of abusing her, after she posted a photo of her black eye that she got from a rifle scope accident on the show. On July 29, 2023, she wrote:

“This is not ok! This black eye happened on tv when I got scoped. I have nothing bad to say about Atz Lee. And leave my kids alone. My girl isnā€™t and hasnā€™t been a part of reality tv and the facts are not even straight when yā€™all go after her. Leave all my family alone and come after me.”

Jane also opened up about her professional and personal life after the divorce, revealing that she was working on another reality show, Bering Sea Gold, where she faced the challenges of ice mining. She also expressed her frustration with the sexism and body-shaming that she encountered in the industry. On August 16, 2023, she wrote on Facebook:

“Ice season is so physically demanding . This is me just after a walk on the ice with Emily ! New episode tonite- watched the Barbie movie and it made me realize how it is hard to be a woman out here. And Emily and I are always assumed to be bitches. But really we are HILARIOUS go getters”

Jane also showed off her impressive weight loss, which she attributed to her divorce and the pressure of being on TV. She said she lost 25 lbs and called it a ā€œrevenge bodyā€. She also said she wanted to be healthy, despite being a ā€œheathenā€.

“Ya I lost a lot of weight. Maybe 25 lbsā€¦. From my divorce and from honestly the pressure of being ridiculed and trolled on social media as someone too chubby to be on tv. Like what??? Wow! I did have covid times & stress weight gain- but I got rid ofĀ it. I think its called a revenge body??? Lol ā€¦And I wanted to be as healthy as possible since I am already such a heathen.”

Jane also hinted at her new single status, posting a photo of herself wearing a white apron and a stethoscope, which reminded her fans of her previous career as a registered nurse. She captioned the photo as ā€œSingleā€. However, it is unclear if she is still working as a nurse.

Jane Kilcher has been through a lot of changes in the past year, but she seems to be coping well and moving on with her life. She has not lost her sense of humor or her adventurous spirit, and she continues to share her journey with her loyal fans.

Atz Lee Kilcher, on the other hand, has not made any public statement about their divorce. He has been silent on social media and has not given any interviews or comments to the media. He seems to be keeping a low profile and focusing on his life in the wilderness.Ā According to some sources, he is still part of the reality show Alaska: The Last Frontier, but he has not confirmed or denied this. It is possible that he wants to respect Janeā€™s privacy and avoid any drama or controversy. He may also be dealing with his own emotions and coping with the end of his marriage. Whatever the reason, Atz Lee Kilcher has chosen not to share his side of the story with the public.

A quick write on Atz Lee Kilcher

Atz Lee Kilcher was born to Atz Kilcher and Lenedra Carrol. The third child, Atz Lee often felt like the black sheep of the family. His oldest brother Shane later moved back to the homestead, while his sister Jewel is a country star. After spending his childhood in Alaska, Atz Lee decided to tour across the country searching for something big. Over the years, Atz roamed the country with his trusted guitar by his side. As the years rolled down, Atz Lee felt the familiar tug of home and made the journey back to the homestead.

Jane Kilcher

Jane Kilcher grew up in Anchorage, Alaska until she moved to Homer, Alaska at the age of 12. Jane lived not far from the Kilcher Homestead where she met Atz Lee Kilcher. The childhood friendship between the two turned into much more as a grown adult. Atz Lee and Jane bonded over their love for music and later decided to get married. Her parents were fishermen and trained Jane in ways of fishing. As she often puts it, she spent much of her early life surrounded by “storms and men”. Talking about her education side of things, Jane did attend college as she went to the University of Texas in Austin. Jane is a registered nurse and worked in remote villages in Alaska.

A former commercial fisherwoman, Jane is the one who is left in charge of fishing. She is responsible for making sure the family gets enough fish to last them through the long winters. On the other hand, Atz Lee completely depends on hunting to make sure the family lasts through the long winters. While Atz understands the problem caused by not rearing animals, he would have it no other way. As a result, Atz has to spend some time before winter to get ready for the winter.
