Who Is ‘Squirrel Guy’ in ‘My Big Fat Fabulous Life’ with Whitney Thore?

Whitney Way Thore is back in Season 12 of My Big Fat Fabulous Life and she is on the lookout for romance once again. Despite saying she still has feelings for the elusive French Tutor, she is also exploring other romantic avenues. TLC is bringing back a familiar storyline for the new season.

In November last year, fans saw Whitney arrange for her family to visit Switzerland, right after they had a get-together in Dauphin Island. It was a chance for her new extended family to mingle with people from Angie Burdett’s side. However, Whitney wasn’t particularly fond of the Alabama crawfish boil.

During this visit, Whitney met a man named Kenny through her new family. Though their relationship didn’t develop much at that time, Kenny has made a comeback in Season 12. Whitney shared a kiss with him, but she remains unsure about their future because of her lingering feelings for the French Tutor. She does adore Kenny’s pet, a flying squirrel, which TLC fans got to see last season.

Teasers for the show indicate that Whitney wasn’t happy about her Alabama family pushing Kenny towards her. Critics of the show doubt her objections are genuine. After all, a Thanksgiving kiss is better than no romance. On Reddit, users have discussed the “Squirrel Man”, fascinated by his pet.

Although Whitney wasn’t allowed to hold the squirrel, she did manage to stroke its tail. A Reddit thread discussing the new love interest on My Big Fat Fabulous Life shared the following caption:

Oh no- she is at it again
RUN MAN, RUN🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

Soon, fans began to talk about “Squirrel Man”. Whitney made a lighthearted joke about wanting to see his “squirrel,” which sparked numerous comments:

• Another fake date/relationship. I hope he’s well paid for that.
• I for one can’t believe they’re continuing the Kenny from Alabama storyline! I figured they’d drop it since MBFFL isn’t exactly known for continuity.
• Kenny must be looking for a paycheck and/or he lost a bet.
• Squirrel Guy taking one for the team! Roll damn Tide!
• Poor squirrel 🐿️
• You know he is getting combat pay.
• you know damn well he’s in it for a paycheck.
