Whitney Way Thore is ready to move on from her mysterious French boyfriend.
my big fat fabulous life star spoke exclusively candidly about their relationship our weekly While discussing Season 12 of the TLC docuseries on Tuesday, July 2. Thore, 40, explained We About the biggest issue that separated them.
“The biggest problem with the Frenchman was that he didn’t want to live a public life,” Thore said. “That means there’s no future for the two of us unfortunately. I’m definitely trying to move on and keep my options open, even though the options are very limited and the choices are very few in Greensboro, North Carolina. So it’s tough. Dating has definitely been tough.”
The two first met on Tinder during the pandemic. The long-distance boyfriend has done his best to stay anonymous — though internet detectives have tried to change that — but Thore won’t shy away from the cameras.
“I’ll always be a public person,” she said. “The Internet will never go away. TV will never go away. So there’s no way to erase that. If it did, I would love to go to a lot of places, but my dad is almost 80 right now. I would never leave Greensboro without my dad. So I don’t know what the future holds, but I’ll definitely be alone in Greensboro in the near future.”

This isn’t the first time Thore public life This has been an issue for potential lovers. Thore revealed that she has met men online “dozens of times” who “disappear” once they find out about her fame. Thore also confirmed that she is currently single – albeit not by choice.
“I haven’t spoken to a single person. No. Or haven’t spoken to anyone [speak] Me,” she said.
Thore thinks her age is a factor. Dating at 40 has changed for her both psychologically and biologically.
“In terms of dating, it’s like a cliff you can fall off at 40 and be single,” she explained. “Obviously, there are very real biological implications with fertility and things like that. So, being single in your 40s has actually been a lot more difficult than I would have anticipated.”
Thore remains optimistic about meeting someone, but she’s accepting the fact that she’ll probably never have kids.
“I have to accept it because I never got the chance. And that’s really hard,” he said.
