Shauna Rae has yet to share details about her TLC salary. Some claims state she earns between $10,000 to $15,000 with each episode of I Am Shauna Rae, but this information couldn't be verified at the time of writing.
It's widely believed that Shauna Rae now lives on Long Island, New York. Judging by Season 1 of I Am Shauna Rae, Shauna is particularly close with her mom, Patricia, half-sisters, Rylee and Morgan, and step-father, Mark. Shauna's biological dad, Scott Lesick, has yet to appear in I Am Shauna Rae.
Season 2 of 'I Am Shauna Rae' will continue to explore her experiences with dating, family planning, independent living, and other areas.
Season 1 of I Am Shauna Rae premiered on Jan. 11, 2022, introducing viewers to the immensely charismatic twenty-something with plenty of witty observations to share. The episodes address topics ranging from healthcare and wellbeing to familial relationships and Shauna's future plans.
In Season 1 of I Am Shauna Rae, Shauna also shared details about the difficulties of finding a suitable partner, the conflicts arising from her attempts to become less reliant on her family, and other subjects.
"There's plenty of bad situations that can happen when it comes to people that want to date me. The attraction to younger people ... is an issue. There have been times that I have attracted that," she explained in a clip. "There haven't been like super old, creepy guys all the time — but sometimes they are ... and it's just creepy."
In Season 2, it looks like Shauna is testing the dating waters with a man named Dan, who she met online. Furthermore, a matchmaker set her up on a blind date with a different man who also has pituitary dwarfism. So we'll have to see what (if anything) comes from these encounters.
Season 2 of I Am Shauna Rae premiered on Nov. 1, 2022. Catch new episodes Tuesdays at 10 p.m. EST on TLC, or on the Discovery Plus app.
