Tammy Slaton’s Big Announcement Could Spell Doom For 1000-lb Sisters

1000-lb Sisters season 7 found Tammy Slaton in a new relationship with a woman named Andrea, and they recently took a big step forward in their relationship. 38-year-old Tammy was single for a long time before she met Andrea on an online dating website. They took things slow at first, but things sped up after Andrea met Tammy’s mother, Darlene.

Tammy’s been through a lot of change since making her TV debut, but she never really found her footing until 1000-lb Sisters season 7. Losing weight gave Tammy a new lease on life, and she’s finally comfortable in her own skin. She has an active social life and even started dating Andrea, but could the whirlwind engagement hurt the show?

Tammy’s Always Been Unlucky In Love

A Timeline Of Bad Choices & Tragedy

Before losing weight, Tammy rarely left the house. Though her limited mobility made it hard to meet new people, Tammy never lacked romantic interests. Even at her heaviest, the 1000-lb Sisters season 7 star had no trouble meeting potential suitors because she spent time in BBW chatrooms. BBW stands for Big Beautiful Women, and Tammy met several boyfriends there.

Tammy Got Engaged

It Could Pull Her Away From Filming 1000-Lb Sisters

Tammy announced her engagement to Andrea Dalton on June 24, 2025, during the Creative Chaos Podcast, casually referring to Dalton as her “fiancée.” The revelation surprised host Hunter Ezell, prompting Tammy to show off her sparkling engagement ring and a necklace bearing Andrea’s name. The couple, together for nearly three years after meeting on a dating app, went public in April 2025.

Tammy expressed initial concerns about her family’s reaction to dating a woman, but the Slatons were supportive. This engagement marks a new chapter for Tammy. Though her relationship is exciting, it could be a distraction from her commitment to 1000-lb Sisters. Now that she’s in a relationship, she may spend less time with her family, which would change the show.

How Tammy’s Engagement Could Hurt The Show

Tammy’s Been Craving More Independence

Tammy’s weight-loss journey is a testament to resilience. Starting at 725 pounds, the 1000-lb Sisters star faced severe mobility issues, relying on a wheelchair and oxygen. She needed around-the-clock care, and much of the burden fell on her family. Tammy was simply too big to get around safely, so she had no independence to speak of.

By June 2025, Tammy had shed over 500 pounds, weighing around 225 pounds and wearing nearly a size medium. Now that Tammy’s independently mobile, the 1000-lb Sisters season 7 star no longer needs oxygen during the day and enjoys simple milestones like buckling a seatbelt. Now that Tammy has someone in her life, she may need the show less and less.

1000-lb Sisters seasons 1-7 can be streamed on Discovery+.
