1000-lb Sisters season 6 star Amanda Halterman has a new boyfriend, and the happy couple recently celebrated a special milestone together. 44-year-old Amanda has had a dramatic and complicated love life over the years. She didn’t even appear in the first three seasons of the beloved unscripted series alongside her family because she was going through a divorce from Jason Halterman. Since making her television debut, her star has been undeniably on the rise, and even her love life is heating up. Though she hasn’t always been lucky in love, the mother of four may have finally met her match.
Amanda dated several men after her divorce, and the other relationships have all ended badly. Her dramatic love life is a big part of why Amanda is such a fan favorite, but it’s not the only reason. Over the years, Amanda has gone on an incredible weight-loss journey and even had bariatric surgery. Amanda’s pursuit of her health and fitness, combined with her hot-headed personality and dramatic love life, have made Amanda endlessly entertaining. Now that the 1000-lb Sisters season 6 star has a new boyfriend, they recently celebrated a major milestone together.
Amanda’s Relationship Timeline
She Hasn’t Been Lucky In Love
Amanda quietly finalized her divorce from Jason Halterman while filming 1000-lb Sisters season 4. They were married for 22 years and had four sons together. Amanda confessed that she and Jason had been unhappy in the relationship for a long time, but they decided to wait until their children were all grown up and out of the house. Staying off TV during the divorce was also intended to protect their sons by not airing their dirty laundry. The couple waited after their sons left home before they called it quits.
Finding herself single again, Amanda immediately jumped right back into the dating pool. Though her marriage didn’t last, she still believed in love. Amanda enjoyed single life but eventually fell for a man named RJ. During 1000-lb Sisters season 6, Amanda announced she’d be moving from Kentucky to Florida to be with him. The couple seemed solid when Amanda posted a now-deleted photo of her and her then-boyfriend on TikTok, taken during a happier phase. The image is of RJ and Amanda snuggled together on the beach.
“Three months and a lifetime to go.”
Amanda was happy with RJ and loved living by the ocean, but sadly, it wouldn’t last. In June 2024, Amanda posted a TikTok about how RJ ghosted her. According to Amanda’s TikTok, RJ went to visit his family and never came back. She tried contacting him, but he wouldn’t respond. The man Amanda thought she’d spend the rest of her life with had just disappeared into thin air. Amanda packed up her things and headed back to Kentucky, where her close-knit family welcomed her back with open arms.

In many of Amanda’s posts about her new man, she includes a link to Leonard‘s TikTok page, which identifies him as “Entertainment Manager of Amanda Halterman of 1000lb Sisters/Author/Public Figure.” He first posted on TikTok in September 2024, and he hasn’t posted much since then. It’s unclear if Leonard has experience as an entertainment manager. It’s also unclear if he started out as Amanda’s manager and became her boyfriend or if it was the other way around. Many fans have taken to her comment sections to speculate that Leonard is a clout chaser who’s just using her.
Recently, Amanda suffered a health scare, and Leonard was there for her.
These speculations are unfair, and Leonard deserves a chance to prove himself. Recently, Amanda suffered a health scare, and Leonard was there for her. He got her to the hospital, stayed with her during her three-day hospital stay, and took care of her afterward. Though, oddly, he’s suddenly managing her career, that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s using her. If he does turn out to be a good manager, he came along just in time. With Amanda getting more screen time on 1000-lb Sisters season 6, her star is rapidly on the rise.
