Heather Sykes, a popular figure among fans of My Big Fat Fabulous Life, found herself in the spotlight after being encouraged by Whitney Way Thore to pursue a romantic relationship. However, group dates and her involvement with Buddy Bell did not lead to a successful match. Heather, who is a mother to two children named Ava and Elijah, had previously been married to Jared Burton, but they separated in 2015. Last year, she was in a relationship with a man named Todd Burton, but it appears that they have now split.
While Whitney Way Thore is the main focus of the TLC show, she also has friends who make appearances. Heather was one of those friends, and they seemed to have a close bond. However, some people believe that their friendship may have ended, as Heather appeared to make a cryptic post on social media in November. The post read:
“I think it’s important to realize that no matter how good you are to people, it won’t make them good to you.”
Was Heather Sykes shading Whitney Way Thore or Todd Turner? For those who may not know, Todd is a photographer and photography teacher. Is it just a coincidence that this cryptic post came about a week after Heather’s last photo with Todd was shared on her Instagram on November 13?
With fewer happy photos being shared by Heather on My Big Fat Fabulous Life, fans naturally began to wonder if she had indeed split from Todd. When one fan asked her directly, she confirmed in a Q&A session that made its way to Reddit that she was no longer with her boyfriend.
The screenshot on Reddit showed a fan asking, “Are you still with your boyfriend?” Unfortunately, she responded with, “No. And that’s all I will be saying about that.”
The discussion about Heather Sykes and her boyfriend on Reddit was accompanied by the caption:
“Can Heather catch a break?”
In response, some TLC fans believe that Whitney’s friend may not necessarily be the one who was let down. They see Heather as a strong individual, and since she recently unfollowed Whitney on social media, it’s clear that she has her own mind and opinions.
Some fans speculate that something may have happened over the holidays, as Heather still follows both of Todd’s accounts. It appears that they were still together when she performed in The Wizard of Oz in mid-November. Regardless, fans just want Heather to be happy, considering everything else she has had to deal with lately and her desire for a long-lasting relationship.
