My Big Fat Fabulous Life cast’s past
Although My Big Fat Fabulous Life fans are likely super shocked to find out that Whitney and Hunter have a half-sister, the siblings previously uncovered more of their parents’ secrets.
During the TLC show, Whitney found a wedding album of her mother’s in the attic. She discovered that Babs had been married before she wed Whitney and Hunter’s dad, Glenn.
Speaking on the show, Whitney said that her mom first married in 1968. Her parents tied the knot in 1977.
The TLC star said: “The deceit!” after finding out about her mom’s first marriage.
She had spent her whole life not knowing about her parents’ past and said: “I know my mother had an entire life before me but I didn’t know she had this.”
After getting all the details from her mom about her first marriage, Whitney asked her dad if he was engaged before meeting Babs.
He said: “Sort of… the engagement lasted 18 hours.”
My Big Fat Fabulous Life season 11
My Big Fat Fabulous Life’s season 11 trailer sees Glenn explain that he’s “lost the love of his life” following Babs’ passing.
Babs passed away in December 2022 and her funeral is featured on the TLC show’s new season.
The show sees the family navigate life after losing Babs. Hunter and Whitney encourage their dad to cross some things off his bucket list including heading to Switzerland and getting a tattoo.
