My Big Fat Fabulous Life is back for Season 14! Ahead of the season premiere on November 10,Swooon has an exclusive preview of the Episode 1 drama, as Whitney Way Thore‘s friends listen in on a phone call between her and her now-fiancé, Jake Beaudoin.
In August, Whitney hard-launched her relationship with Jake just three days before he popped the question. She told People, “Jake has officially graduated from boyfriend to fiancé. We’re getting married, and we couldn’t be happier.” However, while viewers have already been with Whitney for 13 seasons, Season 14 will mark Jake’s My Big Fat Fabulous Life debut.
InSwooon‘s exclusive introduction to Jake, Whitney’s friends share a hot take about Jake after hearing his voice (and that he likes her butt) on speakerphone. According to her friends, Jake “has a quality about his voice” that makes them think he could be “playing for the wrong team.” Ultimately, one friend explained, “We call that DL [down low] or bisexual.”

Immediately, Whitney jumped to her man’s defense, assuring them that he is definitely into her. “People have said that to him before,” Whitney explained. “He’s also kind of metro vibe. So, I’m not offended, and I don’t think he would be either. But I have never had a single worry.”
She later told viewers, “Jake loves women. I’m not worried at all. I’m very comfortable in Jake’s sexuality, and I think he is very comfortable in his sexuality. Like, I don’t mind a little bit of gay voice, I don’t mind a little bit of enthusiasm.” She concluded, “The man’s not gay, henny.”
This season is set to follow Whitney and Jake’s relationship from their early days to their engagement, which a friend called “impulsive” during the season’s trailer. Now that we’ve had our first taste of Whitney and Jake’s connection, we can’t wait to see what’s next for the couple as they head toward their wedding day.
