TLC’s My Big Fat Fabulous Life circled Whitney Way Thore, dancing her way through the haters. But her success wouldn’t have been possible without the help of her “eternal dance partner” from high school, Todd Beasley.
So, who is he? Stay with this Todd Beasley Bio to find out.
Who Is Todd Beasley?
Whitney Way Thore’s closest friend from high school, Todd Beasley was one of the reasons why My Big Fat Fabulous Life was considered authentic. The two shared an “insane passion for dance,” and like good friends, they often got into fights and made up.
Moreover, Todd also played a vital role in bringing Whitney to the spotlight. In the viral video that led the future reality TV to be discovered by TLC, Todd was the one who danced with Whitney.
Whenever Whitney needed help getting back into dance, she called upon Todd. And unlike others who felt overwhelmed by the responsibility of helping Whitney get her dance career back on track, Todd believed that Whitney was “worth it.”
If you don’t know, Todd is also Whitney’s former business partner. The two started Big Girls Dance Class, but later the MBFFL star moved on from that business and started another business with Ryan called No BS Active.
Are Todd Beasley And Whitney Thore Still Friends?
Yes, as of 2021, although the two might have gotten into altercations sometimes, Todd Beasley and Whitney Thore were still friends.
Whitney’s relationship with Todd was much more than that of friends. He was her mentor, advisor, and someone who kept “reality checking” Whitney. In season 9 of My Big Fat Fabulous Life, Todd found out that Whitney met a French man on a language exchange app (online), and he asked her if they have met.
Then he went on to explain that he liked to “temper expectations,” so nobody gets let down. “You might think you like someone, but you could be wrong,” Todd added. But Whitney knew about the exact response she would get from, and it was also one of the reasons who she didn’t tell him about her online romance earlier.
Thus, another fight broke out.
But this is just Todd and Whitney being “friends”. They looked out for each other. No matter the level of the altercation, they never left being friends.
Is Todd Beasley Married?
Though Todd was often seen intervening in Whitney’s love life, the part on his side was never featured over My Big Fat Fabulous Life. So, it’s still a mystery if the guy was married or not in 2021.
