Barby and Lannette from MILF Manor Share Kids’ Reactions and Behind-the-Scenes Stories (Exclusive)

Barby Garcia and Lannette West, the stars of MILF Manor season 2, are opening up about their relationships with younger men and their dads. During a recent episode of the TLC reality show on May 5th, a surprising twist about their families was unveiled. Barby, aged 46, humorously mentioned to the cameras that "the dads are giving me coochie tingles."

Lannette, who is 50 years old, shared with We on Tuesday, May 7, that she felt a sense of relief when the group of older gentlemen showed up.

She expressed, "I was so relieved and overwhelmed when I saw them. I thought to myself, 'Finally, some men my age!' It can be awkward to socialize with people who are much younger when you have a family and a career. There are certain things you may not feel comfortable doing or talking about in front of them, even though I have done some of those things before, and that's okay."

Barby admitted that hanging out with the dads made her feel like her usual mature self at 46, especially when she found herself acting like her younger 28-year-old self in the company of much younger men.

“On an intellectual level, you have to admit that the conversations were obviously more stimulating with the dads,” she added.

Barby shared her thoughts on dating older men, but she also revealed which of the sons gave her "coochie tingles," as she put it.

She described Chris as the first son who caught her eye, mentioning his handsome appearance. Barby felt a connection with Chris because he reminded her of the type of guys she was attracted to when she was his age. She found herself drawn to his tall, dark, green-eyed model-like features, feeling a sense of familiarity from her younger days.

When Lannette pointed out that Chris, 27, had “a lot of red flags,” Barby agreed.

“Exactly,” she said. “Which I wouldn’t do so much now outside of that environment.”

Barby not only avoids red flags in her normal dating life, but she also previously stayed away from younger men. She mentioned, “It’s really interesting because I actually do not date that young of men because of boundaries I have with it being too close to my son’s age. But I’ve had friends tell me, ‘Why? It’s not your son? Why do you worry about it?’ But I think for me, there’s this weird thing, that now I’ve had to kind of be more open minded about. Like, you can meet people and men that you connect with who are [of] a different age range.”

Barby mentioned that her 27-year-old son had concerns when she decided to join the show. He was a bit hesitant and asked her, "What are you getting yourself into?" Since he is quite protective of her, he may not have fully understood the show's true nature.

Lanette, meanwhile, said her 26-year-old son was “pretty ambivalent” about the situation, whereas her 17-year-old daughter was fully supportive.

"He was like, ‘Whatever, mom. You’re crazy,’" she said. "And then my daughter was like, ‘You have to do it, mom.’ Because I was unsure about taking so much time off work and how it would affect others. But she convinced me when I started to have doubts."
