Tammy Slaton from 1000-Lb Sisters has some shocking news to share about her relationship with her girlfriend, Andrea Dalton, after undergoing skin removal surgery. Tammy’s early relationships included a romance with Jerry Sykes, which fell apart when he was revealed to be married. She next dated Phillip Redmond in late 2021, who her family felt undermined her weight loss efforts. In 2022, Tammy married Caleb Willingham after meeting him at rehab; he tragically passed away in July 2023. Recently, Tammy came out as pansexual and revealed she was dating Andrea in 1000-Lb Sisters season 7. She’s the first woman Tammy’s dated.
Tammy has been busy making public appearances since her surgery, and she was recently invited to a podcast where she revealed a major relationship update. EzellFilmCompany shared a video of the Creative Chaos podcast episode that Tammy was just interviewed on. As host Hunter Ezell asked Tammy what she does for fun when she’s not filming, she replied, “Me and my fiancé, we just kinda chill at home…” as Hunter stopped her. “Hold on, you said, ‘fiancé,’” Tammy blushed. She revealed that they go to Walmart and walk around to get their daily exercise. Hunter saw that Tammy was wearing a necklace with her fiancé’s name. “What’s her name?” he asked.
Tammy revealed it was Andrea as she couldn’t stop giggling. She lifted her left hand to show her diamond ring to the camera. Hunter proceeded to ask Tammy how long she had been together with Andrea. She revealed, “Almost three years.” The host suggested that he could film her wedding, and Tammy agreed, without sharing any details of her upcoming nuptials.
