Many viewers were stunned after Shauna Rae Lesick celebrated her two-year anniversary with her mystery boyfriend amidst controversy.
A milestone for shauna rae lesick
Shauna Rae Lesick, a TLC star, celebrated her two-year anniversary with her boyfriend on Instagram this week.
The 25-year-old, who stands at 3 feet 10 inches tall and weighs 50 pounds due to a stunted growth from childhood cancer treatment, has faced challenges in her romantic life.
Despite these obstacles, she has found love and marked the milestone with her current partner.
Relationship struggles and public scrutuny
Shauna’s disability has often led to misunderstandings. In the past, her ex-boyfriend was criticized for dating her, with some accusing him of being attracted to her because of her “childlike” appearance.
This public backlash has made it difficult for her to navigate relationships, but Shauna continues to share her love story with her followers.
A TLC star celebrates her anniversary on Instagram
On Instagram, Shauna posted three pictures from her anniversary celebration, with her boyfriend’s face hidden by an emoji.
In the caption, she wrote: “Halloween was our anniversary, but Happy two years to my best friend! I love you a lot baby and I hope you’ve enjoyed this really crazy ride we’ve been on!”
Many fan reaction about the incident: crirism and support
On social media, some fans questioned why Shauna posted the photos without revealing her boyfriend’s face.
One person said: She’s short, short but she doesn’t look 8. She looks at least 24
A second wrote: Lol she looks 13, I’m sure any guy she dates of the legal age will look like a creep. People are not wrong to think this.
While a third commented: At 30 I was with this 22 year old she looked like a 15 year old . Was tough .
Another added: She’s an ADULT, she can do what she wants. People act like they don’t want her to be happy with anyone because of how she looks.
Someone else said: Maybe she should date an 8 year old.
However, many followers offered their support, wishing the couple well and praising Shauna for maintaining her privacy.
Previously, Shauna faced relationship controversies
Shauna first went public with her relationship in December, posting photos of the couple with emojis strategically covering her boyfriend’s face. At the time, she wrote, “So I’ve been keeping a secret… for a while actually.” She added that her boyfriend made her happy and played a crucial role in her achieving her goals.
Shauna also addressed the criticism, saying, “If it’s not supportive, you can discuss elsewhere. Any hate towards my partner is hate towards me, and I don’t tolerate that.”
Shauna’s ex, Dan Swygart, defends their relationship
Earlier this year, Shauna’s ex, Dan Swygart, faced backlash after their relationship was questioned. Some people found the pairing “weird” and “disturbing” due to Shauna’s appearance.
Dan responded to the criticism, saying, “Me and Shauna are just good friends, we’re getting to know each other.” He also expressed his disgust at the negative attitudes, stating that Shauna had already overcome so much in life and deserved to have a relationship without judgment.
Dan explained that he was inspired by Shauna’s strength after watching the first season of her TLC show, I Am Shauna Rae. He reached out to her with flowers and a card, wishing her happiness and encouraging her to live her best life.
Shauna Rae’s relationship journey highlights the importance of privacy, respect, and understanding in the face of public scrutiny. While her anniversary post has sparked mixed reactions, Shauna continues to navigate her love life with dignity and grace. She remains committed to keeping some aspects of her personal life private while sharing her story with those who support her.
