Amanda Halterman, a prominent star of the popular reality series 1,000-lb Sisters, has recently sparked intrigue
among fans with her evolving relationship status. While Amanda has been on a transformative journey both
physically and emotionally, her romantic life has largely remained a secret throughout the latest season of the show.
From Divorce to New Beginnings
Amanda, sister to 1,000-lb Sisters stars Amy and Tammy Slaton, has been a consistent source of support for her siblings during their health struggles. Although Amanda’s own health issues weren’t highlighted until later seasons, her character has become increasingly complex as she faces personal challenges including her recent divorce from Jason Halterman. The couple, who were married for over 20 years, ended their relationship in 2020, choosing to wait until their two children were older before parting ways. Once the decision was made, Amanda embraced single life and focused on her well-being.
A Transformative Weight Loss Journey
Throughout her time on the show, Amanda has pursued an impressive weight loss journey alongside her sisters. While she didn’t face the same struggles with obesity earlier in life, Amanda began gaining weight after having four children, eventually impacting her health. In March 2023, she underwent bariatric surgery, aiming to reclaim her health. Despite previous attempts to lose weight, including a surgery in 2014, Amanda faced setbacks over the years.
The journey has not been without its challenges; Amanda has occasionally plateaued in her weight loss and experienced emotional ups and downs. However, she remains resolute in her goal to push through these obstacles.

A New Love Amidst Recovery
In addition to her weight loss journey, Amanda has also found love again following her tumultuous relationship with RJ. After her marriage ended, she dated a few men before meeting RJ, a relationship that initially brought her joy. Amanda shared a heartfelt TikTok post depicting happier times, but heartbreak struck when RJ ghosted her after leaving to visit family. Amanda was left trying to reach out to him and even to his family, only to receive no response.
Despite the emotional toll of this relationship ending, Amanda refused to let it deter her from her path. After moving back to Kentucky to heal and reconvene with her sister Amy—who was also navigating her own divorce—Amanda was able to regain her footing. She has since focused on her family and her weight loss journey.
The Future Looks Bright
While details regarding Amanda’s new love interest remain under wraps, it’s clear that she is cherishing what is important in her life—her health and her family. As she continues to work on her physical transformation and navigate the complexities of single life, fans can expect to see her shine on 1,000-lb Sisters.
Although her relationship status may be a well-kept secret for now, Amanda’s journey is one of resilience and growth. She is proving to herself and to viewers that, even after difficult heartbreaks and challenges, there is always an opportunity for renewal and transformation. With a supportive family by her side and a renewed focus on her health, Amanda Halterman is on an inspiring path forward.
