“My Big Fat Fabulous Life”: Whitney Way Thore Announces She’s Expecting, Fans Shower Her with Congratulations
GREENSBORO, NC – In a joyous announcement that has delighted fans worldwide, Whitney Way Thore, the beloved star of TLC’s hit reality show “My Big Fat Fabulous Life,” has revealed that she is pregnant. The body-positivity advocate and dancer shared the happy news with her 1.2 million Instagram followers on Friday, sparking an immediate and massive outpouring of love and congratulations.
Thore made the announcement with a heartwarming post featuring a photo of herself, beaming with happiness while holding up a series of sonogram images. Her French bulldog, Goosy, was seen playfully posing by her side.
“It’s been a long and winding road, full of hope and some heartache, but it’s led me to the most beautiful destination,” Thore wrote in the emotional caption. “I am so overjoyed, and a little terrified, to finally announce that I’m going to be a mom! This has been my biggest dream, and I’m so grateful it’s finally coming true.”
The news is particularly poignant for viewers who have followed Thore’s journey for years. Her desire for motherhood has been a central and often emotional theme on the show. Thore has been incredibly open about her struggles with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), a condition that can affect fertility. She has previously explored various paths to motherhood, including an IVF journey and heartfelt discussions about surrogacy with her close friend, Heather Sykes.
The comments section of her post was instantly flooded with thousands of messages from fans, friends, and fellow reality stars.
“Crying tears of joy for you, Whitney! You are going to be the most amazing, loving mother. Congratulations!” one fan wrote. Another emotional comment read, “After everything you have endured, you deserve this happiness more than anyone. We are all celebrating with you!”
Her close circle of friends, a staple on the show, also shared their excitement online. Her best friend, Tal Ryce, reposted her announcement with the caption, “Auntie mode: ACTIVATED. I cannot wait to spoil this baby rotten!”
While Thore’s announcement focused on her personal joy and the pregnancy itself, she did not share details about the father. In recent seasons, she has been in a long-distance relationship with a man she affectionately calls “The Frenchman,” whose identity she has kept private. Regardless of the circumstances, her supporters have made it clear that their focus is entirely on her happiness and this new chapter.
For now, the star is basking in the glow of her long-awaited news. This pregnancy marks a wonderful new beginning for Whitney Way Thore, and her legion of dedicated fans will undoubtedly be eager to follow every step of her journey to becoming a mother on the next season of “My Big Fat Fabulous Life.”
