SHAUNA Rae is the star of a new TLC show that chronicles the challenges of living with a rare condition that makes her look younger than her age.

I Am Shauna Rae premiered on January 11, 2022, and introduced fans to 22-year-old Rae, who has the body of an eight-year-old.

How tall is Shauna Rae? 

Even though she is 22 years old, Shauna Rae stands at 3ft 10 inches.

Shauna was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer when she was a baby.

Despite going into remission, the treatment left her pituitary gland practically dormant, stunting her growth.

She stopped growing when she was 16.

In the show, fans see Rae's day-to-day struggles due to her appearance, including getting turned away by bartenders and having problems getting tattoos or a gym membership.

I Am Shauna Rae airs live on TLC Tuesdays at 10pm EST.

The show can also be streamed on Prime Video, VUDU, Philo, Spectrum TV, and TLC GO.

At this time, it remains unclear if the show will be renewed for a second season.
