Baylen Dupree Says She’s Gained Weight’ Is ‘Nervous’ to Try on Wedding Dresses

Baylen Dupree is opening up about some of her insecurities as she starts planning her wedding.

During Tuesday’s episode of TLC’s Baylen Out Loud — a series that follows the 23-year-old, who was diagnosed with Tourette syndrome five years ago — Dupree is hanging out with her friend Lela when they start discussing her wedding plans with fiancé Colin Dooley.

Lela asked if she’s excited to start her search for the perfect wedding dress.

“I’m so excited but I’m a little nervous to try them on,” Dupree admitted. “I need to get in shape first.”

“My new med, which is a mood stabilizer, makes me gain weight like crazy,” she explained. “When I tell you nothing fits. My jeans don’t fit. I’m surprised my sweatpants do. My bras, I don’t know what’s going on.”

Dupree added in a confessional that she’s worried about the weight gain because of past experiences.

“Two years ago, I took a medication and it made me gain 30 pounds in a month,” she said. “Not 13, 30. So I’m a little bit more than concerned going down this route again.”

“I need to be able to walk down the aisle, not be rolled,” she added.

Dupree started looking at wedding dresses online, gushing over pink dresses and hoping that Dooley will be in awe when she walks down the aisle.

“I know Colin wants everything traditional. White shoes, white veil, white dress. That sucks. I will not not be in color,” she said. “I’m prepared to wear whatever dress, whatever color, whatever style dress I want in hopes that he will be jaws the floor,” she said.

Dupree met Dooley through a dating app and they began dating in November 2022. Dupree previously revealed that he was “very observant” about her Tourette Syndrome and researched the condition before their first date.

“He still is [learning], but I mean, so is everyone else. I am still learning about it,” she told . “There’s so much more work that needs to be done to educate more people and to understand fully what people are going through and dealing with.”

The couple announced their engagement exclusively to in February. At the time, Dupree told PEOPLE they “can’t wait to take you along on this journey — through all the ups, downs, and everything in between.”

She also gushed about Dooley’s unwavering love and support for her and called him her “medicine.”

“He is the prescription that I’ve needed for a really long time that never runs out. It was just meant to be,” Dupree said. “He just understands me so well. He distracts me from a lot of the things that consume my day and my time … It just really helps just having someone there who gets it and understands me.”
