Whitney Thore’s ex-boyfriend, artist Lennie Alehat, will come on the tenth season of My Big Fat Fabulous Life to assist her with her “online workout videos.” Whitney’s choice to employ her ex to work for her has her friends concerned that it would reignite their past romance, but Whitney believes differently. She confessed in the confessional:
“Some individuals may believe that clinging on to an ex is a dangerous path. I could fall on my face, but I’m not going to fall for Lennie.”
Lennie Alehat has already been on an MTV program and is going to participate in My Big Fat Fabulous Life. Lennie Alehat is an artist whose work can be viewed on his Instagram account, which has over 18K followers. For his work, he even accepts “art commissions.” He has been on the MTV program Catfish, which is about individuals who create false identities online.
On Catfish, a lady called Chelsea thought she was communicating with Lennie online, but the hosts were skeptical. When they contacted the musician, Lennie acknowledged that he was speaking with Chelsea. Lennie and Whitney dated until 2016 when they split up. He did, however, appear on My Big Fat Fabulous Life in a few episodes. In season 10 of the reality program, Lennie will collaborate with his ex-girlfriend Whitney once more.
Whitney and Lennie’s friendship in Season 10 of My Big Fat Fabulous Life
Whitney will have to manage her ex-boyfriend and her current boyfriend, a Frenchman with whom she is in a long-distance relationship, in the upcoming season, which will be more dramatic than in past seasons.
According to the show’s official synopsis:
“Things get complicated for Whitney when she combines her business and personal lives by employing her ex-boyfriend, Lennie, to assist with her online fitness videos.”
Whitney seems to be envious of Lennie dancing with other ladies in the show’s trailer when she travels to Saint Lucia with her brother, friends, and ex-Lennie. Her brother Hunter and buddy Fish, on the other hand, can detect her jealousy. Whitney explains:
“I’m not envious of Lennie; he can do anything he wants.”

Whitney said after choosing Lennie for the position,
“Lennie is an ex-boyfriend, and I think it’s incredibly easy to revert to that kind of interaction.”
However, while working together, Whitney expressed her thoughts to Lennie, stating that there is no chance of their romance rekindling since she is dating her French lover. She informed the makers of My Big Fat Fabulous Life in the confessional:
“I simply want to clarify something.” Our connection isn’t even strange. It’s not even offensive. Of course, my guy isn’t envious and isn’t concerned about you at all. I gave him a photo of you, and he said, ‘Oh, never mind.’ ‘I’m all right.'”
During their talk, though, Lennie suggests that he is not fully over Whitney and is concerned about their future. He confesses in the confessional:
“It’s been strange rekindling a friendship with Whitney when she has a partner who isn’t actually in the picture.” I’ve never even seen him, so I’m pretending he doesn’t exist.”
Season 10 of My Big Fat Fabulous Life will premiere on TLC on Tuesday, August 9, at 10 p.m. ET/PT. On the same day, the program will also be accessible on Discovery+.
