Chase Severino had a beautiful proposal planned for Whitney Thore when we last saw 'My Big Fat Fabulous Life'. However, coming back with its continuation in the latest episode on November 10, the show offered a glimpse into what went down after the Paris proposal. Whitney had been shocked after seeing Chase go down on his knees to pop the big question. While she instantly said "yes" and was excited to tell her friends about what had happened, everyone around her questioned the proposal. Whitney had gone to Paris with her friends, and it was only a matter of minutes before she broke the news to them. They were quick to confess to the camera that the timing of their engagement seemed a bit rushed. 

The new episodes of the show come after Whitney announced that she and Chase have broken up. Their breakup came as a shock but what took people by surprise was finding out that Chase was going to be a father with another woman. After weeks of silence, Whitney had admitted that the rumors were true and that she was trying to do better every day. 

Whitney's friend Buddy Bell was definitely unhappy about the engagement. Despite this, the reality star seemed on top of the moon and was looking forward to walking down the aisle. Whitney even started thinking about how their wedding should be. Whitney asked her best friend Heather Sykes to be her maid of honor. 

As the show progressed, there were instances where she spoke about the wedding she wants to have, while discussing the possibility of having the nuptials in another country. There was also a moment when she asked her friends not to discuss the wedding in front of Chase as he was feeling overwhelmed by everything. 

Seeing how the new episode played out after the show's break, fans were quick to react. Some thought Chase was just using Whitney for fame and to be on the show. "I also got bad vibes from him and Ryan. I feel like they're just friends with her because of the show and they're both opportunists. Does anyone else feel the same way?" read one comment.  "Ugh I now hate him can we please just get more of Whitney and babs and delete his scenes thank you," said another. "No wonder Chase was jealous he didn’t want Whitney doing what he was doing.. perhaps he was afraid of Karma. I hope his five minutes of what he did was worth the pain he caused Whitney," read another comment. 

'My Big Fat Fabulous Life' airs on Tuesdays at 9 pm ET on TLC.
