Whitney and Zach purchased a 2025 Z71 Chevrolet Suburban. But while many fans celebrate the married couple’s new vehicle, some expressed their concerns about Whitney’s appearance. Several commenters stated that Whitney looks more tired and stressed. Many believe it’s due to postpartum and caring for six kids every day.
- “She looks rough. Why are fundies obsessed with the long and damaged hair?”
- “I’m honestly surprised she has a hair left on her head. I had terrible post partum shedding… after six babies… I can’t imagine. 😳 Hopefully the lord will lay it on her heart for a trim the next time she goes out for a mani/pedi.”
- “To be fair, she is just a few weeks postpartum. Let’s see if she gets a trim by Independence Day.”
- “Real Estate be paying the bills bc Bates Kitchen sure isn’t. I’m guessing Carlin and Evan’s house and guaranteed delisting of their old house is helping.”
