My Big Fat Fabulous Life fans suspected that Whitney Way Thore and Lennie Alehat were no longer friends. However, they remain close and recently, she spent time with his daughter, Genevieve. But why did she call herself an “uncle” instead of an aunt? Read on to find out.

MBFFL Whitney Way Thore Wanted A Baby With Lennie Alehat

In 2017, the TLC show revealed that Glenn Thore’s daughter thought she was pregnant. Despite her split from Lennie, he seemed enthusiastic about being a dad. However, they didn’t plan to get back together. Well, the pregnancy turned out to be a cyst and not a baby. Six years later, after staying sober for two years, Lennie finally welcomed the child he wanted.

Whitney Way Thore is not the mom of Lennie’s baby girl. Instead, Allison Topeka delivered baby Genevieve and Lennie Alehat shared the first photos of her on December 6 last year. Nearly two months on from then, TLC star Whitney shared a photo of herself holding the baby.

Ahead of the weekend, Hunter’s sister shared a photo on Instagram of her sitting with Lennie’s baby. The baby wore a cute green bow on her head but looked uncertain about being held by the MBFFL star. Well, kids that age often just want their parents to rescue them from relative strangers.

Friday night with Uncle Whitney & Evie! @magicscienceland and Allison made such a sweet baby. 🎀

Surprisingly, a few TLC fans also said they are called “uncle” instead of “aunt.” 

  • I have been Uncle Cheri since I was 15! I love it.
  • I consider myself an uncle, an aunt, a sister, and a mom to all my nieces and nephews too! Rock on Whitney…❤️You
  • I love how you call yourself uncle. It’s super cute and against the norm. I love it. Just curious as too (sic) why you started doing that?

In response to the question about why she’s an uncle, the My Big Fat Fabulous Life star told the TLC fan all about it.

I always have — one of my cousin’s sons used to call my mom “Uncle Babs,” so I do the same. 😊
