But for now, I’ll just share this photo of my adorable parents who refused to take off their ID badges on my OWN cruise (because “those are the rules!”) even when dressed in formalwear. : @annalynnceleste A post shared by Whitney Way Thore (@whitneywaythore) on Nov 30, 2019 at 1:04pm PST

However, viewers have also noted that Glenn wasn't exactly the most supportive of his daughter's weight in previous seasons of the show, when he told the camera: "I love Whitney to death, but it takes more than dancing to get Whitney into the kind of shape I think will make Whitney happy."
Thankfully, the pair have been able to work out their differences over the previous seasons.
