"How wonderful it is to watch your best friend be so amazing, so smart, so talented, so beautiful, and such a good mother.”
Whitney concluded: “I am so lucky to know you and love you, ! You’re the best. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!”
WHITNEY'S PAIN
The TV personality celebrated her friend's birthday after she admitted it's "painful" that her ex-fiance Chase Severino is engaged again.
During a previous episode of My Big Fat Fabulous Life, Chase revealed his engagement news while they were catching up with Whitney at a bar.
He mentioned that his brother-in-law was "trying to take my thunder because he did it three days after I proposed."
Whitney realized: ";That sounded really weird."
Due to the confusion, she blurted out: "I just heard myself say that, but no really, congratulations."
Chase said he was "glad" that they could "be friends" and that the two were "cool about it."
After hearing the engagement news, the reality star confessed: "I definitely never expected that this would be so painful to hear."
She continued: "It's crazy to think that within a year, someone that I used to be in a relationship with is now a father and is engaged, and I'm still single with no children, obviously, and I don't even know like, what is going on with my love life."
THE BREAK UP
Back in May 2020, Whitney revealed she had broken up with Chase after she claimed that he had cheated on her.
She told her followers: "After experiencing a lot of ups and downs and still living apart, Chase reconnected with a woman with whom he has had a long history.
"Chase recently told me this information and the fact that it had resulted in a pregnancy. Chase will be a father in October.”
Chase confirmed the news and stated: "I have nothing but love and respect for Whitney and our time together. Thank you for always supporting us.
"As we now go our separate ways, I ask for privacy for Whitney, myself, and the mother of my child who wishes to remain anonymous.”
Chase welcomed his daughter Aurora in September 2020 with Sara Jackson.
Despite having her heart broken by Chase, Whitney has moved on with a new man.
Back in July, the TLC star revealed that she had a new boyfriend, but planned on keeping his identity a secret.
BRIDE TO BE?
Fans recently suspected the pair are engaged after the TV personality showed off her diamond ring in an Instagram post.
Whitney posted a photo of herself posing while sitting in the passenger seat of a car.
She captioned the post: “Used truck energy."
After fans kept asking about the ring, Whitney set the record straight and replied: “Why does everyone think just bc she has a ring on that finger means something??”
She revealed: “I bought this salt and pepper diamond for myself!”
