1000-lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton ENGAGED two months after going public with girlfriend
1000-lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton has revealed her engagement to Andrea Dalton just two months after the couple went public. Tammy, 38 - whose sister Amy, 37, announced she was engaged only last month - let the news slip during an appearance the Creative Chaos podcast on Tuesday. Speaking about how her and Andrea like to spend time together, Tammy said: 'Me and my fiancee, we just kind of chill at home.' The revelation prompted a shocked response from host Hunter Ezell who said: 'Hold on, you said fiancee?', before the television star showed off her shiny new engagement ring. Tammy was also proudly wearing an 'Andrea' necklace and later revealed that her and her love interest have been together for 'around three years'. It comes just a couple of months after Tammy made public that she was in a relationship with a woman. Admitting that she hadn't told her family because 'they'd have something to say about it', the reality TV star said: 'Amy's not the only one that's seeing somebody new. So have I.... 'I have been seeing someone for the past couple months and it's going pretty well.' She added: 'The person I'm dating is a woman. So I haven't told my family because my family's gonna have something to say about it. 'I think my family probably has more opinions than the world has a**holes because they be farting so much.' After hearing the news during an episode of 1000-lb Sisters however, Tammy's mother voiced her support for her daughter and said: 'If Andrea genuinely cares for Tammy and makes her happy, then I'll be happy with her.' Tammy and Andrea, who both live in Kentucky, met on a dating app and have 'talked every day since'. Over the past few years Tammy has undergone an incredible weight loss transformation, shredding almost 400lbs. The Kentucky-born star weighed in at 605lbs back in 2019, but in Tuesday's episode of 1000-lb Sisters it was revealed that Tammy now weighs around 250lbs. After stepping on the scales Tammy admitted she was 'in shock' after seeing how low the number on the scale had dropped. Back in April, she shared that she had lost 500lbs after being at her highest weight of 725lbs on the season seven premiere of the TLC show. She said: 'When I was at my heaviest, I was 700 plus lbs. 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.' Amy spoke about her fiancee's proposal during a recent episode of their show and said: 'Originally, he slipped a green apple Ring Pop on my finger while I was asleep, about two weeks into our relationship. 'I was shocked at first, and I said yes but only if the real proposal was in a haunted house on Halloween.' Just five months after they began dating, Brian made that proposal a reality as he got down on one knee with a gothic ring. Recalling the proposal, Amy said: 'He said something about, "my love for you is crazy, it's scary how compatible we are". 'Just like our matching tattoos say, "scary love".' News of her sister Tammy's engagement comes two years after her husband Caleb Willingham died of an unknown cause at the age of 40. In an interview after his passing Tammy revealed in an interview that she no longer had an interest in dating men. Tammy continued: 'A few years ago I came out as pansexual but after Caleb passing, I just don't want to be with men anymore. 'I don't know how my family's going to react when I tell them I'm seeing a woman.' Last year Tammy opened up about the moment she found out that Caleb had passed away. During an interview with People, Tammy revealed a friend of his told her over text message that Caleb wasn't doing well - before he informed her just 20 minutes later that he had died. At the time, Tammy was at her home in Kentucky and Caleb was at a Ohio rehab facility she had previously been at with him. Speaking to People, she said: 'I was sitting in the fetal position. 'I got a text message from his friend up there and the text said, "Caleb's not doing good. They're in there working on him." 20 minutes later he texted me back and said he was gone.' The TLC star also said she had been 'doing fairly well' getting through the tragedy, and had even made a ring and musical note-shaped necklace with the ashes of her late husband. Tammy said she had grown attached to the jewelry and finds comfort knowing a piece of him remains with her. She added: 'He's going to live on now forever because his memory is encapsulated. 'Knowing that he's with me, it's helping me pass the day. I find myself grabbing my necklace and holding it a lot. When I take off my jewelry, I feel like it's weird, separation anxiety. I start panicking.' Watching Caleb on their show has also provided her with some joy, she continued: 'Every time I miss him, I can always look back at the show and watch it and see what made me happy again.'

1000lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton unveils astonishing new look after 500lb weight loss and major surgery
1000lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton unveiled her astonishing new look following her major weight loss transformation which has been documented alongside sister Amy on the TLC series. The TV personality, 38 - who recently gave a health update after undergoing a procedure - joined her sibling as they both weighed themselves at the same junkyard they went to before starting their health journey. During Tuesday's episode, Tammy showed off her slimmer frame after dropping 500lbs in total - and having successful skin removal surgery. In a short snippet uploaded to TLC's Instagram page, the sisters were seen arriving to the S&S Salvage junkyard - six years after their initial visit. 'Man, last time I've been to this junkyard, I felt like complete trash,' Amy could be heard saying. 'Like the size of a tractor.' The video then jumped back to 2019 when Tammy and Amy were greeted by a supervisor named Ronnie who led them to a nearby scale. Amy had explained at the time that both she and her sister were awaiting to get approval to have gastric bypass surgery and needed to find out how much they weighed. 'We haven't been able to find a scale to weigh us and we heard that you might be able to help us,' Tammy added. Six years earlier, Amy had weighed 406 while Tammy was 605 - which garnered emotional responses from both of the reality stars. 'Seeing that number on the scale, it just made my heart drop,' Amy said in a confessional. 'This is the most I've ever weighed.' It was then Tammy's turn and she admitted, 'I did not want to get onto that scale. Honestly, I just wanted to leave.' Upon seeing 605 flash onto the small screen, Tammy looked over at her sister before breaking down in tears. 'The size that I am right now didn't happen overnight. It's my fault that I'm this size,' she said. And in 2025, Amy stepped on the scale once again - with her transformed weight showing 249lbs. 'We haven't been able to find a scale to weigh us and we heard that you might be able to help us,' Tammy added Upon seeing 605 flash onto the small screen, Tammy looked over at her sister before breaking down in tears The star was quiet at first, taking in the results and admitted to her sister - as well as other siblings Amanda and Chris - that she was in 'shock' The star was quiet at first, taking in the results and admitted to her sister - as well as other siblings Amanda and Chris - that she was in 'shock.' Amy later told Tammy that while recently at the junkyard once again, she was struggling through emotions of both 'happiness' and 'pain' due to gaining back some weight. But Tammy offered support to her sister and pointed out, 'You still lost 150lbs. That's great. Like, you still should be proud of yourself. And you can always get back on track.' In the new snippet, Tammy's current weight was revealed to be 216lbs. Back in April, she shared that she had dropped 500lbs after being at her highest weight of 725lbs on the season seven premiere of the TLC show. 'When I was at my heaviest, I was 700 plus lbs. 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,' she said. Last week, it was revealed that Tammy had finally undergone skin removal surgery as she opened up in a new interview. The TV personality shared that she was approved for the long-awaited surgery amid her incredible weight loss journey. She opened up about the 'overwhelming' emotions she felt after 'working really hard' over the past six years to drop the weight to be able to have the eight-hour procedure. She told People: 'After six years and losing over 500 pounds, I was finally approved for surgery. I was just overwhelmed with excitement. 'I worked really hard for this, and now it's here. I'm pretty sure it was noticeable on my face how immediately shocked and then overwhelmed with joy I was.' Tammy traveled to Pittsburgh for her skin removal with plastic surgeon Dr. J. Peter Rubin at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and the reality of the procedure hit her the night before. She said: 'I was really nervous for the skin removal surgery because I was really just kind of afraid of how I'm gonna feel looking at myself without the belly there. 'The night before my surgery, I was, like, seriously freaking terrified. I was even more nervous about having skin removal surgery than I was for the [sleeve gastrectomy] surgery because they're actually cutting the whole belly!' Tammy underwent her skin removal surgery on January 18, and during the 8-hour procedure, doctors removed 'over 15 lbs' of excess skin from her chin, arms and lower stomach. The star's complex surgery was documented on the show and during the season finale, all of her siblings were in awe of her transformation and praised her for how far she's come in her weight loss journey. Speaking on the show, after the surgery, Tammy said: 'It feels so weird not having the ball sack hanging off my face and my bat wings are gone too, I look down and there is nothing there in my lap now. 'It's going to take a little while for me to get use to seeing myself like this'. It comes after Tammy revealed in April that she's in new relationship with a woman. In the seventh season of the much-loved TLC series, pansexual Tammy and her sister Amy are seen catching up their fans on their lives. She spoke about her new budding romance in a confessional preview of the series - and admitted she hasn't told her family yet. Tammy said: 'There's something I haven't told my family. Amy's not the only one that's been seeing somebody new. So have I... 'I have been seeing someone for the past couple months and it's going pretty well. The person I'm dating is a woman. So I haven't told my family because my family's gonna have something to say about it.' She added, 'I think my family probably has more opinions than the world has a**holes because they be farting so much.' This is Tammy's first relationship since the death of her husband, Caleb Willingham, who she married in November 2022. 'A few years ago I came out as pansexual but after Caleb passing, I just don't want to be with men anymore,' Tammy said later in the preview clip. 'I don't know how my family is going to react when I tell them I'm seeing a woman.' Tammy's husband Caleb died from unknown causes at age 40 - just seven months after the couple tied the knot in November 2022.
