After nearly a year of splitting up from her ex-fiancé, Chase Severino, it looks like Whitney Thore has a new man in her life. Fans of TLC's popular show 'My Big Fat Fabulous Life' watched Whitney's love life fall apart after she discovered that her fiancé Chase was cheating on her. After shedding many tears and wallowing in her heartbreak, we saw Whitney ready to move on with her life and find herself a new man.

Unfortunately with the global pandemic forcing everybody to stay indoors, Whitney had no choice but to turn to online dating to find her new beau. Season 8 of 'My Big Fat Fabulous Life' ended with the reality star signing up on an online dating portal. Although she was a bit skeptical about the body-shaming that she might be subject to on the dating website, she still went ahead and signed up for it. But here's where things get interesting- Whitney wasn't looking for a man from her hometown/ current residence- Greensboro, North Carolina, she was instead looking for men from Paris!

Who is Whitney Thore's new French boyfriend?

It looks like Whitney's efforts of landing a French man paid off as she took to her Instagram earlier this year to confirm that she was indeed seeing a French man. While promoting the upcoming season 9 of 'My Big Fat Fabulous Life', Whitney posted a picture of herself and her mystery French man on her Instagram. The reality star however smartly covered her beau's face with a circle in all the pictures and didn't reveal his name nor Instagram handle. She explained that she was respecting her man's privacy.

Alongside a series of pictures of themselves in Paris, Whitney wrote, "I’ve always had a sorta love/mostly hate relationship with social media, but after the last year, it’s grown even more complicated. So — when your French man says he values his privacy but you still wanna share him, this is what social media gets 😂." She concluded it with, "See y’all for a new season of #MyBigFatFabLife August 17 at 9/8c on TLC. ♥️"

Although we have no details of her new man, it looks like he will be playing a very important role in the upcoming season of 'My Big Fat Fabulous Life'. In case you're wondering how Whitney met her boyfriend then we got you covered. In a clip from Season 9 of 'My Big Fat Fabulous Life' Whitney reveals that she met her new man on a language exchange platform! She then proceeds to drop a few more details about her new man. He is reportedly in his 30s and a little younger than Whitney. He works as a graphic designer and is very fluent in English although he lives in Paris. Whitney can be seen giggling and gushing when the topic of her Parisian boyfriend comes up.



 

While Whitney is over the moon in her new relationship, her friends are however a bit skeptical about him. The brief for the premiere episode of Season 9 titled 'Big Fat French Crush' reveals, "Whitney looks forward to life after quarantine, but Buddy may have abandoned her for his new girlfriend. When Whitney develops a crush on a Parisian man, her friends worry about her getting into another long distance relationship." We will just have to watch the show to get more tea on Whitney's French boyfriend and we might even get to see him on the show.

'My Big Fat Fabulous Life' Season 9 is all set to premiere on Tuesday, August 17 at 9/8c on TLC.
