Whitney Way Thore has been happy inside her new relationship and intends to keep it that way after sharing that she has no intention of letting her French beau appear on My Big Fat Fabulous Life. The couple has been dating for a year, with fans only sort of meeting him through her many FaceTime chats. Fans are taking Whitney's new relationship slowly as they are wary of it ending terribly like most of her other boyfriends.
TLC viewers are more than familiar with Whitney and her new Parisian beau. During My Big Fat Fabulous Life season 9, Whitney was seen falling for her French tutor, who she met online. Red flags immediately went up as friends and family worried she could be dealing with a potential catfishing situation. While viewers were thrilled to see her giving love another chance - particularly after she failed her relationship with Chase Severino - everyone was worried that she was jumping back in too quickly. Nonetheless, Whitney's boyfriend turned out to be okay even though he insisted his identity remain anonymous to maintain his privacy.
It makes sense that Whitney would want to keep her French boyfriend's privacy a secret, especially after My Big Fat Fabulous Life fans bombarded Chase with hate messages for months. Viewers could tell that Whitney wasn't necessarily looking forward to revealing her new relationship to fans, mainly due to the haters who have gone after her past relationships. In fact, there was more than a fair share of trolls who claimed Whitney was being used and that he may be embarrassed to be seen with her. Sadly, Whitney has become accustomed to people constantly doubting her ability to find a good man and have a healthy relationship.
Due to how many viewers have been against her in the past, Whitney and her mystery man made the decision to keep his identity private. Whitney said that if she lived a more normal life, it would be amazing to share her love affair. However, she knows it is best to keep her cards close to her chest. Loyal viewers of My Big Fat Fabulous Life understand that anonymity is important to the couple and respect Whitney's choice.
As fans will recall, the entire season had his face blurred and didn't show where or how he lived. The fact that the new boyfriend is protected from extreme hate eases Whitney's stress and allows the two to live as normally as possible. After the disastrous breakup with Chase, it is clear Whitney made a vow never to put anyone she loved through that again exposing them on My Big Fat Fabulous Life. For now, she has been able to keep her promise.
