<p id=”par-1_78″>Whitney Way Thore’s romance with the Frenchman may have fizzled, but that doesn’t mean she’s giving up on love. The star of <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/tlc/?swcfpc=1″>TLC</a>’s <em>My Big Fat Fabulous Life </em>is still hoping to meet that special someone. In this exclusive clip from the show’s July 16 episode, she’s introduced to a new potential love interest — and his somewhat unusual pet. But will lingering feelings for her <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/my-big-fat-fabulous-life-whitney-way-thore-confirms-open-relationship-frenchman.html/”>long-distance ex-boyfriend</a> keep her from moving forward with someone closer to home?</p>

<p id=”par-2_34″>Kenny is a family friend whom Whitney is meeting for the first time. In an effort to break the ice with Whitney at the family gathering, he’s brought along a surprising companion: a squirrel. </p>
<p id=”par-3_22″>“Oh my gosh,” says Whitney, who is sitting next to Kenny on the couch. “It’s like a hamster with a long tail.”</p>
<p id=”par-4_45″>“My advice? Let her sniff you,” Kenny says as he prepares to hand the frightened squirrel over to Whitney. The squirrel makes a run for it before Whitney can get ahold of her, but the encounter gives her and Kenny a chance to touch hands. </p>
<p id=”par-5_10″>“I don’t even treat her like I should,” Kenny confesses. </p>
<p id=”par-6_22″>“You’ve admitted you don’t treat her like you should,” Whitney says flirtatiously, raising her eyebrows. “So no hope for a human woman?”</p>
<p id=”par-7_8″>“No, no way,” Kenny replies with a laugh.</p>

<p id=”par-8_18″>In an interview, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/my-big-fat-fabulous-life-what-does-hunter-thore-do-for-a-living.html/”>Whitney’s brother Hunter</a> wonders if there could be a spark between Kenny and his sister.</p>
<p id=”par-9_33″>“I mean, Kenny’s got a good in. You know, ‘Is that a squirrel in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?’ It’s pretty good, I think. It’s an A-game move.”</p>
<p id=”par-10_4″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/my-big-fat-fabulous-life-glenn-thore-age-job-net-worth.html/”>Her dad Glenn</a> agrees. </p>
<p id=”par-11_14″>“Kenny, I think this is the best pickup line you could have,” he says. </p>
<p id=”par-12_5″>“Women love animals,” Whitney agrees. </p>
<p id=”par-13_12″>While Kenny’s flirting technique might be a bit out-of-the-box, Whitney is intrigued. </p>
<p id=”par-14_24″>“Some people might think it’s strange to bring one’s squirrel. But for me as a pet lover, it’s just extra points in my book.”</p>
<p id=”par-15_16″>But despite her interest in Kenny, Whitney can’t put her elusive Frenchman out of her mind. </p>
<p id=”par-16_43″>“I’d probably be showing more outward enthusiasm if I weren’t still so in love with the Frenchman,” she says. “But I am intrigued. I do want to get to know Kenny better. And one day, I would definitely like to hold his squirrel.”</p>
