Whitney Way Thore has been dating "The Frenchman" for over a year, and some My Big Fat Fabulous Life fans think she secretly married him. MBFFL season 9 showed her growing relationship with her online French teacher turned long-distance boyfriend, but fans have yet to see his face. While fans were skeptical, Whitney seems head over heels in love, even spending weeks in Paris after meeting him in person for the first time.
Many fans of MBFFL have watched Whitney fall in love on the show, only to have it come to a shocking end. Fans still remember Chase Severino on MBFFL season 9, who met Whitney in 2018 and proposed to her in 2019. The pair were planning their lives together but ultimately ended their relationship during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although Whitney's friends and family have some reservations about "The Frenchman," she says he has exceeded all of her expectations.
In between filming My Big Fat Fabulous Life seasons 9 and 10, Whitney spent six weeks exploring Paris with the ever-mysterious "The Frenchman." Many fans felt his reaction was less than enthusiastic when he knew she was coming. Nonetheless, Whitney still posted several loved-up pictures on Instagram, but with his face blurred out. Other Instagram posts from Whitney hinted at an engagement, and a possible wedding, to her mystery man. Now fans are wondering where Whitney stands with her mystery French beau.
MBFFL season 10 has been following Whitney's mom Babs' stroke and recovery, which has been taking up most of Whitney's time. When she's not visiting her mom, she has been working around the clock with her new fitness app and brand. However, Whitney still finds time to talk and spend time with the mysterious French man. Since August 2021, when Whitney had first visited her French beau, she spoke about how much this new relationship meant to her. Now, more than a year later, Whitney and her French beau still appear to be going strong. After putting so much effort into the relationship, it's very likely Whitney and her new man will get married someday.
Despite dating for so long, Whitney has been calling "The Frenchman" her boyfriend and not her fiancé, despite wearing a ring on her left hand. There may not be wedding bells in the near future for Whitney on My Big Fat Fabulous Life, but the pair will remain boyfriend and girlfriend for the time being. Many fans are hoping "The Frenchman" will make a formal debut in MMFFL season 10. While Whitney's love life has not been the focus of the season so far, fans are still interested to see whether their relationship will become a more prominent part of MBFFL season 10.
