TikTok creator Baylen Dupree, known for documenting her life with Tourette syndrome to more than 10 million followers, married Colin Dooley in Warrenton, Virginia, on May 9, 2026, capping a relationship that began on a dating app in November 2022. The wedding aired as part of TLC’s Baylen Out Loud, the series that has chronicled her family life, nursing studies, and relationship since its debut.
Dupree began posting in 2020, sharing candid videos about her vocal and motor tics, coprolalia, and OCD, building her platform around humor and honesty aimed at reducing stigma around Tourette syndrome. She met Dooley, who serves in the US Air Force, when she was 20 and already had a substantial following.
He gradually became part of her content as their relationship deepened, eventually appearing on the show alongside her parents and five siblings as a consistent source of support around her Tourette’s, OCD, and public platform.
The couple’s engagement became a central storyline in Baylen Out Loud’s first season, which ran from January to March 2025. Viewers watched Dupree attend Tic-Con in Dallas before the couple’s on-screen engagement; she later confirmed the actual proposal took place September 9, 2024. The season’s finale saw her move out of her parents’ home near Harper’s Ferry, West Virginia, into an Arlington, Virginia apartment with Dooley.
Season 2, airing October through December 2025, followed their adjustment to cohabitation, military scheduling demands, and Dupree’s continued advocacy work, while Season 3 premiered this past May, days before their wedding. Dooley has continued appearing on the show while remaining on active Air Force duty following the marriage.
Alongside the wedding, Dupree has drawn renewed attention this week after revealing in an August 4 episode sneak peek that she’s been diagnosed with endometriosis. During the episode, she and Dooley visited Washington Endometriosis and Complex Surgery in Washington, D.C., where surgeon Dr. Melissa McHale confirmed the diagnosis while noting no evidence of invasive or ovarian forms of the condition.
Dr. McHale outlined three paths forward: monitoring without treatment, hormonal contraception to manage symptoms, or surgery to remove endometrial tissue, while also addressing fertility considerations — noting the condition’s impact varies by individual and that attempting conception would be the clearest way to understand how it might affect Dupree specifically.
In a confessional segment, Dupree described the emotional complexity of finally having a diagnosis after years of unexplained pain — relief at having an answer, paired with new anxiety given how unpredictable the condition’s course can be.
The combination of her wedding and health revelation continues a pattern that’s defined Dupree’s public platform from the start: using her personal medical and life experiences, shared openly and in detail, to build connection with an audience largely drawn to her candor about conditions that are often misunderstood or stigmatized. Whether she pursues treatment, monitoring, or surgery for the endometriosis will likely become a storyline in the show’s continuing episodes, extending the same transparent approach she’s taken with Tourette syndrome to this new diagnosis.
