Baylen DuPree’s Engagement Rollercoaster: Love, Relocation, and Family Drama Unfold
In a whirlwind of emotions, Baylen DuPree’s engagement to Colin Dooley took a dramatic turn on the season finale of her TLC reality series, “Baylen Out Loud.” Amidst the joy of their engagement, a cloud of uncertainty loomed over the couple when Colin, a 23-year-old Air Force member, revealed he had been waiting for relocation orders that could send him—and potentially Baylen—anywhere in the world. Unsurprisingly, this news sent Baylen’s family into a tailspin, with her father Allen expressing his fears that Colin would whisk Baylen away, leaving her family in a lurch.
As the couple broke the news to Baylen’s family, her sister Sammi had already sensed a potential upheaval, remarking, “I knew it,” as they braced themselves for the worst. However, the revelation took an unexpected twist when Colin reassured everyone that he wouldn’t be relocating after all. “I’m actually not going anywhere,” he disclosed, much to the relief of Baylen’s family, who had been on edge about the prospect of a long-distance relationship. Baylen’s mom, who initially felt “sick to my stomach” with anxiety, couldn’t hide her relief, echoing the sentiment that staying put was best for the couple’s budding relationship.
With the dust settled on the relocation drama, both Baylen and Colin are now eager to tie the knot. Colin stated, “Now that we know I’m not going anywhere, I don’t think we really want to sit on this engagement too long.” Baylen, equally enthusiastic, expressed her excitement about their future together, indicating that the couple is ready to leap into the next chapter of their lives—marriage.
The tension surrounding Colin’s military obligations was a recurring theme in the series, as Baylen candidly shared her fears about a future with so many unknowns. “I would love to have a family with Colin, but I don’t want him to leave,” she lamented earlier in the season. As viewers tune into the series on Max, they are treated to a blend of heartfelt moments and the reality of navigating love against the backdrop of military life—an experience shared by many couples facing similar challenges.
