Nadya “Octomom” Suleman’s new boyfriend has tried his hand at the love-for-fame game before.

Frankie G, a 23-year-old amateur bodybuilder, was a contestant on the dating show “Who Wants To Date a Comedian?” just before he started dating Suleman earlier this year, according to TMZ.

On the show, Frankie — who said he was an EMT and part-time exotic dancer — competed against two other guys to win a date with a curvaceous comedienne named Marla Shultz.

She clearly liked Frankie for more than his brains. “He’s gorgeous, he’s a hot piece of a – -, he’s beautiful with the sparkling eyes, and you know what? I like the way he shakes his groove thang,” Schultz said of Frankie.

Returning the favor, Frankie said that he liked women with a bit more, “cushion.” In the show’s finale, Marla picked Frankie and promptly had him remove his shirt — at which point she started stroking his chest.

“I have really good taste,” she said.

Shockingly, Frankie and Marla’s relationship did not work out.
