GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA: 'My Big Fat Fabulous Life' Season 11 star Glenn Thore is not just a father or a grandfather but he is also a great-grandfather. In the recently released episode, Glenn receives a gift from his great-granddaughter Maddie aka Madeline.

Glenn's long-lost daughter Angela Burdett aka Angie has a daughter named Jaime Daughdrill. Jaimee has two brothers, Cody and Williams. And, according to TV Shows Ace William's daughter is Madeline.

In the recently released episode, Angie sends Glenn Madeline's gift. The gift had a pillow in it saying, "Grand Daddy" and then a beautiful message continued.

Glenn went teary as he read the message, "I hugged this little pillow, I squeezed it really tight, I filled it with my wishes, hope, and love, and light." The message continued, "So, when you're feeling low just hold it really tight. You'll feel my love within it, morning, noon, and night."

The message ended with the sender's name, "Love, Madeline." Glenn was confused seeing this. He asked with curiosity, "Who's Madeline." Whitney reminded her father, "Daddy, oh my god, that's your great-granddaughter, Maddie." Glenn forgot Maddie as he first time heard her name to be Madeline.

'My Big Fat Fabulous Life' star Glenn Thore gave up on his kids Whitney and Hunter Thore

Whitney feels relieved that her father has another family from where he has had a granddaughter and great-granddaughter because she can not see Hunter and herself fulfilling the wish of having a kid.

Glenn says in the confessional, 'Whitney is getting older and Hunter not having anybody on the horizon, Babs and I are getting used to it." He then claimed that he and his dead wife made their wife that they would not have grandchildren. 

Hunter lightens the room as he says, "Everybody wins in this scenario. Dad gets grand kids." Whitney then claims, "And, we don't get to change the diapers."
