Whitney Way Thore, the charismatic star of My Big Fat Fabulous Life, has eagerly anticipated her 40th birthday in the latest season, planning an extravagant family trip to Spain to mark the milestone. With a bevy of new goals for her fourth decade, Whitney is determined not to remain single and has embarked on a quest to find her ideal partner.
Engaging the services of a matchmaker, Whitney has diligently followed their advice to expand her social circle and increase her chances of encountering a potential suitor. Viewing the upcoming Spain trip as a prime opportunity to connect with a compatible companion, Whitney even took the bold step of initiating contact with a prospective love interest via direct message, harboring hopes of a future marriage.
The vacation plans include the company of Hunter and Karen alongside Whitney and Glenn, yet tensions arise as Whitney expresses unease at the notion of her brother stealing her birthday thunder by potentially proposing to Karen during the celebration.
In the realm of MBFFL, Whitney exudes a penchant for being the focal point, craving undivided attention and reluctant to share the limelight with others, especially when it comes to her family members garnering increased attention. In a recent teaser, Glenn Thore unveils Whitney’s mother’s engagement ring, sparking apprehension in Whitney as he hints at its potential use should Hunter decide to propose to Karen.
Confronted with the prospect of a midlife crisis unfolding amidst her milestone birthday trip, Whitney voices her concerns, adamantly asserting her desire to avoid any engagements occurring in her presence. While Glenn playfully advocates for keeping the ring handy for Hunter’s future use, Whitney humorously implores her father to safeguard her birthday festivities from being overshadowed by her brother’s romantic endeavors.
In a candid moment captured by AccessHollywood, Whitney candidly lays down the ground rules, humorously stipulating a “Hunter, you can get married, but not on my birthday” policy, emphasizing the importance of maintaining boundaries and preserving the sanctity of her special day free from any unexpected announcements or upstaging gestures.
