GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA: Whitney Way Thore claims she can't imagine her life without her long-distance boyfriend as she misses him. The reality star reminisced on her relationship with her ex-boyfriend, Lennie, in a sneak peek of Tuesday's episode of 'My Big Fat Fabulous Life', as the two get close while he works for her firm.

Whitney is currently seeing someone from France, but she hasn't disclosed his name or revealed his face in any of the photos she has posted online. She hopes that by remaining anonymous in the forthcoming season of 'My Big Fat Fabulous Life', her current partner would avoid suffering "the identical diploma of vitriol" that her ex-fiance Chase did. Whitney shared many photos from a recent trip to France with her new beau, without revealing his face in any of them. The duo could be seen posing in front of the Louvre and wandering around Parisian districts in the photographs.

"I love Lennie. It's weird, it's like when you fall — okay I'm getting myself in trouble," confesses Whitney. "You know when you fall in love with somebody and then very soon after you're like 'What was I doing before this person?' I literally don't remember life without you in it now anymore." The former couple is relaxing and discussing their plans for the day in the preview clip. Lennie notes that the weather was great and that he was thinking about doing his production job outside for the day.

"I need my Vitamin D," Lennie remarks, before Whitney corrects him, "I'm definitely D deficient."

Whitney says after an uneasy moment, "Vitamin D! I'm talking about Vitamin D," as Lennie chuckles.

"I am D deficient, though. Certainly am," the reality star goes on. "That's what happens when you're in one of those LDRs."

After meeting through online language classes, Whitney and her French lover began dating last year. Her partner, who has requested anonymity and has not been seen in full on Whitney's TLC program or on her Instagram, resides in Paris, and she and her pals just call him the "Frenchman." "Long-distance relationships are…they're not easy, obviously," she says. "But I think mine is way easier than probably most people's because it started long distance. We've been that way the whole time. It doesn't feel that weird to me, honestly. I would like to see him again, but…"

"Really, I'd like a little scritch," Whitney suggests, while Lennie adds, "A little scratch on the back… I know. I know where your spot is." Whitney nods as Lennie begins scratching her back, and they both chuckle. "I know exactly where it is. It's like right above your butt crack is where you want it," Lennie continues. "Don't tell Frenchman."
