My Big Fat Fabulous Life’s Whitney Way Thore Says There’s ‘No Future’ With French Boyfriend

Transcript

00:00You know, we see you dealing with the Frenchman this season and where do the two of you stand?

00:05I know it seems like you are very much in love. Do you still have communication? Is there a

00:12possibility of maybe that door still opening up in the future?

00:15The major issue with the Frenchman was that he does not want a public life.

00:20So that means ultimately there is no future for the two of us, unfortunately. So I'm definitely

00:29just trying to move on and keep my options open, even though there are very slim and few options

00:36in Greensboro, North Carolina. So it's tough. Dating has definitely been tough.

00:41Yeah. Was there ever a thought in your mind that maybe like, all right, maybe I'll say

00:45goodbye to reality TV, pick up my life and move to Paris? Was that ever a thought process for you or?

00:51Well, no. I mean, like I was saying earlier, I'm going to always be a public person. You know,

00:56the internet doesn't go away. The TV doesn't go away. So there's no way to erase that. If there

01:02were, I would love to pick up and move a lot of places. But also, you know, my dad is almost 80.

01:07At this point in my life, I would never leave Greensboro without my dad.

01:12So I don't know what the future brings, but the immediate future is definitely me, single.

01:18I know that you were doing like a series on Instagram about meeting a man. Have you been

01:24on dates? I know, like you said, you're single right now, but it's tough out there.

01:30I have not spoken to a single man. Nope. Or had one spoken to me.

01:37Do you find that being on TV, has it made it more difficult for you, you think?

01:42Yeah. Oh, absolutely. I can't tell you the amount of times, you know, online over the years, over

01:49the past 10 years, I've been having some great conversation with someone trying to avoid the,

01:53what do you do question. And then as soon as they see my social media or Google me or whatever,

02:00I mean, just disappear. It's happened dozens and dozens of times. So it's really disheartening,

02:05for sure. And there's just no way for me to change it.

02:09Right. No. Like you said, the internet doesn't go away. The public figure doesn't go away.

02:13It's always going to be there. But you know what? As cliche as it is, it'll happen when you least

02:19expect it. I hope, you know, it's hopefully, you know, we do see this season that Lenny has a baby.

02:28What's your relationship like? How has it changed

02:31since he's had the baby? And what's your relationship like with Allison?

02:35The biggest change in Lenny and my relationship is that I barely see him anymore because of that.

02:40Yeah. I convinced him the other day to come over and hang up a mirror for me and rearrange

02:45my bedroom furniture. But other than that, you know, I just don't see him often. He was working

02:51with me with my fitness app, No BS Active, and he was doing a lot of stuff around the house and all

02:56that. So it's, you know, I'm looking for a handyman, you know, to take his place for sure.

03:03But yeah, he's a great dad. And I always knew he would be. That's one thing. Even back when we were

03:08dating, his sisters have a lot of kids. There's a lot of kids in the family. And I would see him

03:12with kids and I would think he's going to be a fantastic dad. And he definitely is. So that's

03:16been amazing to see. And Allison and I have gotten, she's worked on my, worked on my body.

03:24She's a massage therapist a few times. So she's, yeah, she's great. She's amazing. I'm really happy

03:30for both of us. That's great.
