Where Is Everyone From I Am Shauna Rae Now? The Family’s 2026 Lives Revealed

Everyone keeps asking where Shauna Rae is — but the Schrankels were never a one-woman show. When TLC’s cameras left Long Island after the October 2023 finale, they left behind a whole family viewers had adopted as their own: the protective stepdad, the mama-bear mom, and three sisters on wildly different paths. Here is the update fans keep begging for — what the rest of the family is doing in 2026.

Mark Schrankel — The Stepdad Who Became “Dad”

If the show had a quiet hero, it was Mark. He married Patty, then raised Shauna and her older sister Tara as his own — alongside the couple’s two younger daughters. Viewers watched him drive Shauna to dates, vet her suitors with a protective dad’s eye, and deliver confessional wisdom that felt like a hug.

The moment that said everything came in 2022, when Shauna legally dropped the last name “Lesick.” Mark stood right beside her — the man with no blood claim to her, supporting her as she erased the name of the man who had one. According to reports, Mark is still the family anchor at the Long Island home base, where Shauna continues to live.

Patty Schrankel — Mom, Protector, and the Family’s Backbone

Behind every milestone in Shauna’s life stands Patty — the mom who has been there since a 6-month-old Shauna was diagnosed with a rare brain cancer. Through the chemo, the stunted growth, the bullies, and the cameras, Patty’s mama-bear energy never wavered. She fought for doctor’s appointments, school accommodations, and her daughter’s right to be treated like the 27-year-old woman she is.

According to reports, Patty still runs the Long Island household where the family lives together — the same kitchen table where so many of the show’s best conversations happened. After two seasons of sharing her family with millions, Patty earned her privacy.

Tara Lesick — The Big Sister in Florida

Tara is Shauna’s older sister — and the only sibling who shares her biological father. Fans remember her Season 1 storyline well: the move to Florida with her fiance, chasing a fresh start hundreds of miles from Long Island. It wasn’t always smooth; in 2022, viewers even called Tara out online for not defending Shauna during a partying storyline, sparking one of the fandom’s biggest sister debates.

According to reports, Tara is still based in Florida and keeps a much lower profile than her reality-TV days. The sisters’ bond was one of the show’s most complicated threads — protective one minute, distant the next — and fans still wonder what it looks like now that the cameras are gone.

Rylee and Morgan — The Sisters Growing Up Off-Camera

Rylee, the baby of the family, graduated from Longwood High School in June 2021 — and Season 2 viewers will remember her big dream: getting an apartment with Shauna. She was also the one who, alongside Mark, “crashed” Shauna’s date with Thomas the firefighter, much to the fandom’s delight.

Morgan, the eldest of the younger pair at 31, took the quietest path of all. She describes herself as an “educator, advocate, and creator,” and according to published reports works as a high school reading specialist at the Belmont Charter Network in Philadelphia, with a master’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania. While Shauna built a million-follower TikTok, Morgan was busy igniting a love of reading in struggling students — a different kind of spotlight, and arguably a brighter one.

Three years off the air, the Schrankel family scattered the way real families do. But the thing fans loved never left: a family that showed up for each other, on camera and off. So here is the question dividing the fandom: if TLC greenlit a Schrankel family spinoff with Shauna NOT as the lead — would you hand the show to Mama Bear Patty, protective Mark, or one of the sisters?
