In many ways, Baylen Dupree is like any other 23-year-old. She loves beauty and fashion, spending time with friends and going out on dates with her fiancé, Colin Dooley. What makes Dupree's journey unique, however, is that she's navigating life with severe Tourette syndrome. "It was hard at first to figure out," she tells Us. Determined to live her life out loud, the bubbly content creator amassed over 12 million followers on social media by posting poignantly honest, oftentimes humorous, videos about her experience. Earlier this year, the viral sensation took her career to new heights with the premiere of her TLC series, Baylen Out Loud. Now engaged, living with her fiancé and planning a wedding, Dupree is back for season 2 of the hit show. “[This] season is about expanding my growth,” says Dupree, “and learning how to do certain things that I really wasn’t able to do living with my parents.” Still, fans can expect to see the return of Dupree’s mom and dad, Julie and Allen, along with her five siblings. “They make it entertaining and fun,” Dupree says about filming with her family.
