Amy Slaton from 1000-Lb Sisters is being forced by her new boyfriend into getting pregnant again, and here’s why she shouldn’t be doing it. At 37, Amy has faced more than her share of heartbreak. When 1000-lb Sisters debuted in 2020, Amy appeared happily married to Michael Halterman, with fans rooting for their seemingly picture-perfect union. But behind the scenes, cracks began to form. After welcoming two sons, Amy reportedly grew frustrated with what she saw as Michael’s lack of support. The strain ultimately proved too much, leading to the unraveling of a relationship once thought to be rock-solid.
After officially announcing her divorce from Michael in 2022, 1000-lb Sisters star Amy quickly re-entered the dating scene. Amy was linked to several boyfriends in the months that followed—some of whom she introduced to her young sons early on, raising eyebrows among fans. Following a series of short-lived relationships and emotional setbacks, Amy appeared to hit pause on publicizing her love life, shifting focus to her role as a single mom. Now, she’s back in the spotlight with a new romantic interest and admits the relationship is already getting serious.

Amy’s Family Is Against It
Amy’s Arrest Should Have Been A Sign For Her To Split
Amy Slaton was arrested at a Tennessee zoo in September 2024. She was arrested for drug possession and child endangerment. Amy’s mugshot was posted by the Crockett County Sheriff’s Department, where a post revealed that authorities were requested to respond to a local safari park where a guest was allegedly bitten by a camel. Upon arrival, they noticed suspicious odors coming from the guest’s vehicle. The guest was none other than Amy. She had her sons, Gage and Glenn, with her and was accompanied by her boyfriend, Bryan.
Things got heated quickly when Amy’s siblings, Tammy, Amanda Halterman, and Chris Combs staged an intervention for her after the arrest. Amanda wanted to have a discussion with Amy, and even before she could voice her opinion, Amy declared she was “done” and disrespected her siblings by walking away. With Chris yelling behind her, asking her to sit down, Amanda told the rest that the discussion was not supposed to be an intervention. Amanda noted that every time someone wanted to talk to her, she jumped up and stormed off.

Amy and Bryan’s love story began in an unexpected place. The pair reportedly locked eyes during a concert, left early for tacos, and have been inseparable ever since.

Loved ones fear she may be diving in too fast once again.

Amanda was shocked and suggested that both Amy and her boyfriend should take a cold shower to come to their senses.
“Take it slow.”
Amanda asked Amy to keep her guard up. She mentioned the snowball effect, where her boyfriend could have treated her nicely when they were together initially, but after two or three months, he would show her how he really is, and then the truth would come out. Amy admitted that Bryan was hot and heavy from the get-go. The reality TV star had matching tattoos with Bryan that they got on their second date.

Amy Wants To Lose More Weight
Amy’s Progress Will Be Lost
Since Amy is interested in losing more weight, having another baby would set her back by a few years. It would be years of progress being lost for Amy. While she always wanted to be a mom and lost weight so she could get healthier and do so, Amy’s wish came true when she was blessed with two beautiful boys.
