"I just really want to clear up, though. Like, our relationship is not even weird. It's not even inappropriate," she told producers, before turning to Lennie. "Of course, luckily my boyfriend is very not jealous and very not worried about you at all. I showed him a picture of you and he was like, 'Oh, never mind. I'm fine.'" Whitney also explicitly told Lennie that she was still dating her French boyfriend. And it was not an open relationship. Fast-forward to Season 10, Episode 10, and that's exactly what ended up happening. While on a vacation with her brother, Hunter, and friends, Lennie, Jessica, and Isaiah, Whitney revealed that she and the Frenchman decided to have a "don't ask, don't tell" policy — essentially opening up their relationship. She told producers: "The Frenchman and I, we're realistic about the amount of time we actually get to see each other physically. So we've officially loosened the bonds on our relationship physically. Just in the event of me maybe having a vacation adventure."Article continues below advertisement View this post on Instagram A post shared by TLC (@tlc) Since Whitney and Lennie were supposed to share a beachfront room on their vacation, we can only assume he was her potential "adventure." In a teaser for Episode 11, Hunter told cameras, "I thought that maybe something would happen between Whitney and Lennie. But I didn't expect it on the first morning." Viewers also saw footage of Lennie and Whitney waking up in the same bed, hinting that things did end up getting physical between them. It's unclear whether their hinted vacay romp turned into something more.Article continues below advertisement Why did Whitney Thore and Lennie break up in the first place Lennie was introduced as Whitney's boyfriend back on Season 2; they ended up calling it quits on Season 3, Episode 9. On MBFFL, Whitney explained she felt stuck and like they weren't moving forward in their relationship.Article continues below advertisement "I realized maybe I have needs that he can't meet or doesn't want to meet," Whitney told the camera before breaking up with Lennie face-to-face. "I need a relationship where I feel like I'm not asking the other person to change." Not long afterward, Whitney had a pregnancy scare — but it turned out to be a false positive. Whitney started a relationship with the Frenchman in Season 9 of ' MBFFL ' Following the Season 9 finale, Whitney took to Instagram in November 2021 to offer up some light spoilers about her trip to meet the Frenchman in person for the first time. "I spent six weeks in Paris," she captioned a photo montage of her travels. "I did fall in love. I am in a relationship and I’m incredibly happy!"Article continues below advertisementSource: Instagram/@whitneywaythore All of the shots including the Frenchman had his face blurred out to protect his privacy. (Whitney has previously discussed that he doesn't want his identity known to the world because of how Chase Severino was attacked/threatened online when he and Whit broke up.)Article continues below advertisement She hasn't posted any photos of herself and the Frenchman together in months, but it could be because they simply haven't seen each other face-to-face since their initial meeting. It's possible, too, that Whitney doesn't want to spoil anything for Season 10.

So viewers wouldn't be completely shocked if things didn't end up working out between them. We'll have to wait and see if Whitney can make her long-distance relationship with the Frenchman work in the long run — and whether her relationship with Lennie has since blossomed into something more than "friends with benefits."
