On October 1, 2023, the credits rolled on the last episode of I Am Shauna Rae. Nobody watching knew it at the time — TLC has still never said the words “canceled” or “renewed” — but 1,137 days later, that night is still the last time a new episode aired. This is the timeline: every dated thing Shauna Rae has actually done since the cameras stopped, in order.
October 1, 2023: The Credits Roll — and Then Silence
The final episode aired on October 1, 2023, closing two seasons that followed a 22-year-old navigating adulthood in a 3-foot-10 body after childhood brain cancer treatment left her with pituitary dwarfism — a grade 4 malignant glioma diagnosed at six months old, three and a half years of treatment. The last big first the cameras caught, her driver’s test in a car fitted with hand controls, still tops the five firsts fans still rank. Since that night, TLC has announced nothing: no Season 3, no cancellation, no special. The show is not dead and not alive. It is in limbo — and the 1,137 days since have been filled not by a network, but by Shauna herself.
December 14, 2023: Fitclusion Opens Its Doors
Seventy-four days after the finale, Shauna opened her own business. Fitclusion — her fashion label, built around a problem most viewers never think about — went live on December 14, 2023, announced by Shauna herself on TikTok. At 3-foot-10, she had spent years shopping in the children’s section for clothes she needed as an adult, so she designed her own: in March 2023 she modeled a sparkly outfit of her own design, sized for 5-foot-4 and below. According to reports, she self-funded the label and it now needs outside investors to grow. No new collection has been announced since. The full audit of what she runs on her own now is in her independence timeline, from the driver’s seat to her own front door.
July 23, 2024: The Six-Month Clock Starts Ticking
The most personal date on the timeline arrived in a video, not on television. On July 23, 2024, Shauna told her followers her latest fertility visit showed she was “very low in the egg count” — doctors had assessed her fertility at 0.6 on a scale of 1 to 10, down from 0.8 two months earlier — and she needed to freeze her eggs within “six or so months, probably sooner.” She had priced freezing in Season 2, but insurance refused it. This time she launched a GoFundMe: “I’m going to get it done either way.” Then the updates stopped — and the six-month window she set herself came and went in January 2025. “At 16, I fully accepted that I was not going to have children,” she said in the same video.
January 2025: “No, I Live With My Boyfriend”
The clearest update of the whole timeline came on a podcast. On Unplanned with Matt and Abby Howard in January 2025, Matt asked Shauna a question most fans thought they already knew the answer to: did she live alone? “No, I live with my boyfriend,” she said — “technically alone,” away from her parents, under her own roof, on her own terms. According to reports, the couple has been together since around 2022, and no engagement has been confirmed. The rule from that same interview has never been broken: his face stays off the internet, because, in her words, unless she is marrying him, his face is not going to be shown. She learned the cost of the alternative the hard way — Dan Swygart, the Welshman who flew some 3,000 miles to meet her in December 2022, was branded a “creep” and reportedly received death threats.
November 11, 2026: 1,137 Days In — Where the Timeline Stops
Here is the honest state of play. Shauna Rae is 27, still 3-foot-10, still living close to her mom Patty and stepdad Mark Schrankel in Long Island, still talking directly to more than a million followers on TikTok under @shaunarae99, still selling personalized video shoutouts on Cameo. TLC still has not announced a Season 3. Fitclusion still has not announced a new collection. The egg-freezing question still has no answer. The boyfriend’s face still has not appeared. Three years, five dates, one woman writing her own story without a timeslot — and the next date on this timeline is the one nobody can predict. If TLC called tomorrow with a Season 3 offer that started filming in January, should Shauna say yes and hand the cameras her life again — or has she already built the better life without them?
