'1000-Lb Sisters' Tammy Slaton Reveals Engagement To Girlfriend After Undergoing Skin Removal Surgery
Tammy Slaton has announced her engagement to Andrea Dalton, marking a new chapter in her life just months after revealing their relationship.
The newly-engaged couple reportedly met on a dating app and have been together for three years now.
Tammy Slaton is also celebrating a 500-pound weight loss following bariatric surgery, bringing her weight down to 238 lbs.
Slaton is embarking on a new chapter in her personal life with her girlfriend, Dalton. Just months after going public with her relationship, the '1000-lb. Sisters' star has now revealed she's engaged.
The news came during the June 24 episode of the A Creative Chaos podcast, where Slaton casually mentioned Dalton as her 'fiancée' while chatting about their home life, saying, 'We just kind of chill at home.'
Her comment didn't go unnoticed. Podcast host Hunter Ezell quickly picked up on the term and asked, 'Hold on, fiancée?'
Slaton beamed, held up her hand to display a diamond engagement ring, and pointed out her necklace that read 'Andrea.'
While Slaton chose to keep most details of their relationship private, the 38-year-old confirmed that she and Dalton have been together for three years.
The engagement comes not long after Slaton opened up about her relationship on an April episode of '1000-lb. Sisters.'
In a confessional, she shared, 'I have been seeing someone for the past couple of months, and it's going pretty well.'
The reality TV star added, 'The person I'm dating is a woman.'
During the latest season of '1000-Lb. Sisters,' Slaton opened up about her new relationship with Dalton: her first romance since the passing of her estranged husband, Caleb Willingham, in July 2023.
Dalton revealed that the couple met through a dating app.
'I had just got on there,' Dalton shared. 'I wasn't on there very long, and I saw her and she saw me, and we just started talking—and it's been, like, every day since."
In a confessional, Slaton explained that she and Dalton were 'taking things slow, day by day.'
Though she initially kept Dalton's identity under wraps, viewers later got to see glimpses of their connection, including a sweet first date at a bowling alley.
Slaton admitted she waited a few months before telling her family in an effort to protect their romance.
'I think I want to approach this relationship differently than I have in the past,' Slaton said. 'So I haven't told my family because my family's gonna have something to say about it.'
She added humorously, 'I think my family probably has more opinions than the world has a-sholes because they be farting so much.'
Despite her concerns, her family was surprisingly supportive.
'If she makes you happy, that's all we want for each other is just to be happy. That's all,' said her sister, Amanda Halterman. 'But I don't want none of us to stop looking for it. Don't just settle. Don't stop until you find exactly what you're looking for.'
Her other sister, Misty Wentworth, echoed the sentiment, saying, 'It don't matter to me.'
Even their mother weighed in with support, adding, 'If Andrea genuinely cares for Tammy and makes her happy, then I'll be happy with her.'
Tammy has long been open about her sexuality. In 2021, she came out as pansexual during a conversation with her then-boyfriend Jerry on the show.
'Love is love,' she said, per E! News. 'I would date anybody whether they're transgender, straight, gay ... It's about how they make me feel, not how they look."
However, in a now-deleted TikTok posted in 2024, Slaton shared that her preferences have shifted.
Reflecting on her journey after Caleb's death, she said, 'I was saying I was pansexual, but I kinda stopped messing with guys after my husband passed. So, I'm like a lesbian.'
Slaton's weight loss journey has been a central part of '1000-Lb. Sisters,' with her battle against food addiction spanning all seven seasons.
When the series began, Slaton weighed 608 lbs., and her weight continued to fluctuate as she faced numerous health challenges.
By August 2024, she had made remarkable progress, revealing she had lost around 500 lbs. following bariatric surgery, which she underwent two years earlier.
In the season 7 premiere, which aired on April 15, she reflected on her transformation, saying it's 'kind of hard to believe.'
'When I was at my heaviest, I was 700 plus lbs.,' she said during a confessional. 'Right now, I'm weighing in at 238. Everybody keeps telling me I'm looking smaller than Amy. That's kind of hard to believe.'
Slaton has now also undergone skin removal surgery.

'Rust' crew settles lawsuit against film producers and Alec Baldwin in fatal shooting
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — A settlement has been reached in the civil lawsuit alleging negligence in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer on the set of the Western movie 'Rust', according to court documents released Friday. The lawsuit was brought by three 'Rust' crew members seeking compensation for emotional distress from producers of 'Rust,' including Alec Baldwin as co-producer and lead actor. The civil suit accused producers of failing to follow industry safety rules — allegations they denied. Terms of the settlement were not available. Attorneys for 'Rust' producers and the plaintiffs could not immediately be reached by phone or email. Plaintiffs to the lawsuit included Ross Addiego, a front-line crew member who witnessed at close range the fatal shooting of Halyna Hutchins at close during a rehearsal on October 2021 on a filmset ranch on the outskirts of Santa Fe. A charge of involuntary manslaughter against Baldwin was dismissed at trial last year on allegations that police and prosecutors withheld evidence from the defense. Separately, 'Rust' armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and completed an 18-month sentence in May. Prosecutors accused Gutierrez-Reed of unwittingly bringing live ammunition on set and failing to follow basic gun safety protocols. Baldwin was pointing a gun at Hutchins during a rehearsal on a movie set outside Santa Fe when the revolver went off, killing Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza. Addiego testified at Gutierrez-Reed's trial and appeared before the grand jury that indicted Baldwin. The filming of 'Rust' was completed in Montana. The Western was released in theaters in May.
