Whitney Way Thore's best friend for life, Buddy Bell is dating. The 'My Big Fat Fabulous Life' star will be introducing his girlfriend Brittany Sherman in the next episode. Whitney has been clear that there are no romantic feelings whatsoever between her and Buddy. However, she couldn't be more shocked even if she tried when she heard about him dating someone.

She was still under the impression that he was as single as she was. The teaser for the upcoming episode that will air on Tuesday, December 22, revealed that Buddy will be bringing in Brittany where she'll meet the rest of the group but Whitney is clearly unimpressed.

Her expression reads that she's caught off guard and later on she said, "Buddy has a tendency to move too fast too much. I don't want to be judgemental but I don't have a good feeling about it." While Whitney hasn't admitted it yet, but her best friend, Ashley Baynes dished about the situation. She said she believes Whitney "did seem a little bit jealous."

It'd just been a week of knowing Brittany when Buddy started referring to her as his girlfriend. If you are wondering if they're still together, we'd like to tell you that Whitney was right. She didn't think this would last and turns out it's the truth as Buddy has already moved on with someone else, according to his Instagram feed. So who is Buddy dating now?

If you still haven't found out, the new woman in Whitney's platonic friend's life is Courtney Renee Marsh. Her account is set to private but there are a couple of pictures of her with Buddy on his feed. The last photo he shared of them together was three weeks ago and given the rate at which Buddy flits between relationships, it's difficult to determine if they're still together. 

Whitney didn't have a good feeling about Brittany but it seems like Courtney has her approval. "She’s hot and nice," she commented on the first set of photos Buddy shared. He seems to be in a very happy relationship right now, however, if that fails he and Whitney will always have each other. In the recent episode, they renegotiated their contract that states that they'd marry each other if they end up single. The previous age limit was 40 which they've now pushed to 55. 

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