A woman who describes herself as being ‘trapped in the body of an eight-year-old’ has explained why she has kept her boyfriend’s identity private.

Shauna Rae Lesick may give off the impression of an elementary student, but she is actually 26 years old.

Shauna Rae gained fame after featuring in her own TLC reality show, I Am Shauna Rae, which explored her distinctive lifestyle.

In the 2022 trailer, Shauna Rae remarked, “I am a 22-year-old woman trapped in the body of an 8-year-old.”

At 16, Shauna Rae learned she had stopped growing—a moment she referred to as a ‘challenging time.’

In an interview with PEOPLE, she expressed, “It was probably the lowest point in my life, as I always envisioned being tall. Learning that news felt like a hammer smashing into glass.”

Shauna Rae added, “I somewhat withdrew from others to discover myself and achieve happiness with who I am, since at the time, I wasn’t content with myself.”

“I began online schooling and concentrated on myself, determining what I wanted to do, who I was, and how to improve.”
