Whitney Way Thore Engaged: Who Is Her Fiancé Jake Beaudoin?

Or, rather, the dating apps. 

While she was aiming for one date per month, she lamented to E! in 2024, “In Greensboro, the pickings are so slim, it’s tragic.”

So, after years of swiping left on brother Hunter Thore (“I always see him!” she joked to E! in 2023), pairing with a fellow local was, well, fabulous.  

And by the time she posted a glimpse of the hike that ended on bended knee, she had already agreed to continue their journey indefinitely. 

“It was truly perfect,” she raved to People of the proposal, which included a rose petal-strewn celebration with loved ones and a stunning oval diamond. “The ring is absolutely beautiful, and there’s a special story behind it that means so much to us.” 

And now, she continued, “We’re thrilled to start this next chapter and build our future together as husband and wife.” 

Perhaps Mom and Dad, as well. 

Because she had long envisioned herself settled down with a few tiny Thores of her own.
