On 'My Big Fat Fabulous Life,' viewers have seen Whitney Way Thore navigate romances and heartbreak. Nevertheless, the radio quiet in recent months has admirers wondering if Whitney and her French partner have called it quits.

Whitney has undoubtedly had her share of ups and downs, both on and off the screen. When she raved over her French tutor, it appeared that she had finally met the real deal, regardless of the distance. Whitney seldom updates on her relationship with him, since she likes to keep that aspect of her life secret and keep him anonymous. The 'My Big Fat Fabulous Life' star previously recounted her ups and downs with ex Chase Severino who is no longer a part of her life. Meanwhile, she has been seeing an unidentified Frenchman, and fans are asking if they are still together now that the shooting has concluded.

'My Big Fat Fabulous Life' star Whitney mocked for turning it into a 'manhunt' show

The motivational influencer turned reality star has had a number of significant relationships in the past, leading viewers to believe she had met the one. She has been in eight significant relationships, three of which were shown on television. Her engagement to Chase Severino, in particular, appeared to be joyful but ended in grief. Chase had cheated on Whitney and was expecting a child with the other lady, it was revealed. She had previously been dating Avi Lang. From September 2016 until March 2017, the couple was together for almost seven months. Whitney dated artist Lennie Alehat until 2016. Ever since then the 'My Big Fat Fabulous Life' star has been less forthcoming about her personal life. She has revealed nothing about her long-distance relationship, wanting to keep that portion of her life private.

Who is the mystery Frenchman?

Although Whitney has never publicly revealed his name, rumor has claimed that her lover is Nail Rayner, a French rapper. Nail Rayner looks to be the person that Whitney has hinted at, especially since a call clip on the broadcast revealed his name, Nail. Whitney was having a French tutoring session with him when she noticed "Nail... calling" on her laptop's Facetime application. His videos turned private last year, implying to followers that he was filming 'My Big Fat Fabulous Life.' Some believe he has been cast as Whitney's mysterious boyfriend, although TLC and the actress have yet to confirm this. She earlier stated that she developed a crush on her French tutor instructor in August 2021 before eventually falling in love with him.



 

Even when there isn't a man in the photo, Whitney has been spending a lot of time on Instagram with her family and friends. She just shared images from a fun-filled tropical island holiday. Whitney has not revealed her location, but wherever she is, there are stunning views, palms, and plenty of sunshine. Fans have been attempting to learn more about Whitney's personal life, such as where she is or who she is dating. Whitney was wearing a gorgeous turquoise bathing suit and enjoying the water in an Instagram snap, but many were more interested in what she wasn't wearing. According to one Instagram user, "Whittnnneeyyyyyyyy I don’t see that croissant ring. #teamlenny." Whitney usually wears the ring she received from the Frenchman with pride.

Many people have believed that Whitney and her ex-boyfriend Lennie are back together since she has been spending time with him. The 'My Big Fat Fabulous Life' actress has yet to respond to any of the allegations, but that hasn't stopped fans from generating their own. Lennie rapidly became a fan favorite, and he and Whitney had an unrivaled relationship. Sadly, their relationship dissolved in 2016 due to an alleged adultery scandal. Even though their love relationship did not work out, they remained excellent friends.

Whitney Way Thore is treading carefully in the forthcoming season of 'My Big Fat Fabulous Life' when it comes to blending personal and business ties. Considering her ongoing long-distance relationship with her French partner, which she says is still going strong after several months together, the 38-year-old considers hiring her ex-boyfriend Lennie to help her produce an online fitness video in TLC's exclusive sneak preview of the Season 10 premiere. Lennie asks Whitney's relationship status in the teaser and reveals he assumed she was in an open relationship because he wasn't around. Whitney even recommended that the two meet, but Lennie was hesitant, implying that residual feelings existed between them. She then warned Lennie that he couldn't fall in love with her again if they were going to work together.



 

Season 10 should provide some answers for fans. 'My Big Fat Fabulous Life' will return to TLC on August 9 at 10/9c. Whitney has been tight-lipped about her love life, but she may be storing significant developments until the next season.
