Amanda Halterman, a star of 1,000 Sisters, has recently found herself a new boyfriend, leading some to wonder if

she is trying to distract herself from the swirling rumors of the show’s cancellation and her own history of romantic

disappointments. The 44-year-old Amanda had previously been married to Jason Halterman for 22 years but has

faced significant changes in her life over the past few years. The reality series focuses on her siblings, 38-year-old Tammy Slaton and 37-year-old Amy Slaton, while Amanda initially avoided on-screen appearances until the fourth season.

Despite her late start as a television personality, Amanda quickly endeared herself to fans with her hot-headed and opinionated demeanor, often leading to conflicts with her siblings. Her dating life has also captured the audience’s attention, especially since her divorce. After ending her long-term marriage, Amanda attempted to navigate the dating scene, and her journey has been closely followed by viewers.

Amanda’s last significant relationship was with a man named RJ, whom she began dating during 1,000 Sisters Season 6. Amanda made the bold decision to move from Kentucky to Florida for him. The couple appeared solid at first, with Amanda sharing a now-deleted photo of them on TikTok during a joyous moment at the beach. Unfortunately, this happiness was short-lived; Amanda later revealed on TikTok that RJ had ghosted her after leaving to visit his family, never returning, which left her feeling deeply hurt.

Following the heartache, Amanda returned to her family in Kentucky. She had a brief entanglement with another man but kept his identity private until she felt ready to go public with her new relationship. Recently, she posted a TikTok introducing her new boyfriend, Leonard, with a caption celebrating three months together.

Fans rejoiced in the comments section, expressing their happiness for Amanda. When one fan noted that she seemed genuinely happy, Amanda confirmed, “I am.” Another fan asked for clarity regarding her previous relationship, to which Amanda directly responded that RJ did indeed ghost her. It appears that after experiencing heartbreak, Amanda is now prioritizing her own happiness rather than seeking revenge on her former partner.

In addition to her romantic developments, Amanda has also been focused on her health journey. After previously struggling with weight loss, she underwent bariatric surgery for the second time in March 2023. Although she lost a significant amount of weight over the years, she recently hit a plateau, partly due to a knee injury that made it difficult for her to exercise. In her latest weigh-in, Amanda weighed 268 pounds, compared to her earlier weight of 299 pounds.

With speculation surrounding the future of 1,000 Sisters, there have been ongoing rumors about the potential cancellation of the show. Recently, Amanda addressed these concerns during an Instagram Q&A, stating that she couldn’t provide a clear answer about season seven due to legal obligations. Her response, however, did not quell fans’ fears given her minimal screen time in earlier seasons, despite her growing popularity and significance in the current season. It remains uncertain whether her new boyfriend will appear alongside her on the show, but based on her history, her relationship may face challenges just as the show’s fate does.
