Her father, Juan Miguel Chico Salvador, is a musician. Her mother, Jenine Desiderio, is an actress. She has a son, Jude Trevor Salvador Paterson, with her former partner, actor Mark Paul Robert Paterson.

Janella’s patrilineal ancestry can be traced back to her eighth great-grandfather, Felip Salvador i Llaugar.

Janella’s paternal grandfather was Juan Jose Ceron Salvador (the son of Pedro Salvador y Boronat, or Pedro Boronat Salvador in Filipino, and of María Concepción Cerón). Juan Jose was born in Manila. Pedro was the son of Josep Joan Salvador i Sivilla (or José Juan Salvador Sivilla in Spanish), who was from Calella, Barcelona, Spain, and of Lucilla Boronat y Cía, who was of Spanish and Basque descent. María was of Spanish and Basque descent, and was the daughter of Tomás Fernando Luis Barretto y de la Rocha (or Tomás Fernando Luis de la Rocha Barretto in Filipino) and Pilar Cerón y López de Haro (or Pilar López de Haro Cerón in Filipino). Tomás’ paternal grandfather, Bartolomeu António Barreto (or Bartolomé Antonio Barretto y González in Spanish), was from Portuguese Macau, and became a naturalized Spanish citizen while in Manila, whose origins came from Mumbai and Goa, both in present-day India.

Janella’s paternal grandmother was Norah Irene Campos Chico (the daughter of Eladio Chico and Rogaciana Medrano Campos). Rogaciana was the daughter of Julián Campos y Ortiz (or Julián Ortiz Campos in Filipino), who was of part Spanish descent, and of Felisa Medrano e Ibáñez (or Felisa Ibáñez Medrano in Filipino).

Janella’s second cousin once removed is actress Maja Salvador.
