Baylen Dupree and Fiancé Colin Dooley Tease Wedding Plans
Baylen Dupree and her fiancé, Colin Dooley, are brimming with excitement as they give a sneak peek into their upcoming wedding arrangements. The couple, renowned for their roles in TLC’s “Baylen Out Loud” series, recently shared an update on their eagerly anticipated wedding and provided insights on their wedding timeline. During a special FYC panel event hosted by PEOPLE’s Janine Rubenstein, the couple expressed their current focus on cherishing the present moment rather than diving headfirst into extensive planning.
The journey to their engagement was sealed with a beautiful Instagram announcement on February 11th, where Colin popped the question to the 22-year-old social media influencer. A month later, fans were treated to a behind-the-scenes glimpse of this intimate proposal during the season finale of their reality series on March 10th.
As the couple addressed attendees at the FYC panel, Baylen revealed that detailed wedding planning would take centre stage in the upcoming second season of “Baylen Out Loud”. Colin, who had been in a relationship with Baylen for over two years before proposing, conveyed his heartfelt sentiments by describing the prospect of being Baylen’s husband as a dream come true.
Joining the couple on the panel were Baylen’s parents, Julie and Allen, who have been an integral part of the series, offering viewers a glimpse into their unwavering support for Baylen as she navigates life with Tourette syndrome. Colin expressed his gratitude for having Julie and Allen in their lives, citing them as exemplary figures and sources of inspiration in understanding how to care for and love Baylen.
Tourette syndrome, characterised by involuntary muscle movements or sounds (tics), holds a significant presence in Baylen’s life. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, she credited Colin with providing a source of comfort and distraction from the challenges posed by her condition. Colin’s presence, according to Baylen, serves as a calming influence amidst the storm of her daily struggles, offering unwavering support and understanding.
The couple’s initial meeting on a dating app set the stage for a blossoming relationship, with Colin acknowledging Baylen’s exceptional qualities and compassionate heart. In return, Baylen described Colin as her ‘medicine’, attributing to him the ability to soothe her and provide a sense of tranquillity unlike any other.
Baylen’s aspirations for their reality series extend beyond entertainment, aiming to shed light on the diverse manifestations of Tourette syndrome and advocating for individuality beyond a mere label. Through their journey, Baylen hopes to impart the message that Tourette syndrome is a varied and multifaceted condition that defies stereotypes.
As Baylen and Colin embark on this pivotal chapter of their lives, their shared love and unwavering support for each other serve as a beacon of hope and inspiration for viewers worldwide. Stay tuned for more updates as this dynamic duo navigates the exciting road to their wedding day.
