Who is Shauna Rae dating?

TLC show I Am Shauna Rae premiered in 2022 and introduced fans to Shauna, who has the body of an 8-year-old.

Due to her condition, Shauna has found dating to be a struggle and revealed on the show that she is currently single.

"It’s hard to meet new people because people don’t understand that I’m an adult," she confessed during the show's premiere.

"My last relationship ended because he didn’t want to go out to, like, a restaurant with me or just go out and take a walk with me."

She went on to explain that she tends to attract "creeps, a**holes, and idiots."

Despite her troubles with dating and meeting people, Shauna was romantically linked to British CEO Dan Swygart.

Their relationship was shown on season 2 of the show.

In December 2023, the reality TV star revealed she was dating someone new.

The Instagram announcement was a series of pictures with emojis covering her new beau's face.

She captioned the , "Please know that all I ask from y’all is to support me and refrain from being hateful toward them or my relationship."

When did Shauna Rae and Dan Swygart split?

The announcement comes after she and Dan ended things in April 2023.

On The Sarah Fraser Show, Dan revealed that although he and Shauna were close, their relationship never progressed.

"We got very, very close on an emotional level. It never really got physical, we kissed once," he said.

He continued by saying, "I wasn't there for long periods of time... it never really progressed into a relationship."

How can I watch I Am Shauna Rae?

When Shauna was a baby, she was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer.

Despite going into remission, the treatment left her pituitary gland practically dormant, stunting her growth.

Even though she is currently 24 years old, she looks like an 8-year-old child because she currently stands at 3 ft 10 inches.

In the show, fans see Shauna's day-to-day struggles due to her appearance, including getting turned away by bartenders and having problems getting tattoos or a gym membership.
