1000‑Lb Sisters’ Tammy Slaton Drops Bombshell: She’s Engaged! Shows Off Her Sparkling Ring
1000-Lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton has confirmed her engagement to girlfriend Andrea just months after their relationship went public. Tammy, 38, let the news slip while speaking on the Creative Chaos podcast this week. When talking about her relationship, the reality star referred to Andrea as her “fiancée”, stopping the host in his tracks. Tammy blushed as she confirmed the exciting news and held up her sparkling engagement ring.
“My and my fiancée we kind of just chill at home…” Tammy began. That’s when the host jumped in: “Hold on, you said fiancée?”
During the interview Tammy was wearing her necklace with Andrea’s name on it. To the host’s surprise, she then held up her hand to show off her silver engagement ring:
“Have mercy, that is so cute!” said the host. Tammy confirmed she and Andrea had been together for “almost three years” now.
While Tammy didn’t reveal any of the details of just how the proposal happened, hopefully viewers will get more insight on the next season of 1000-Lb Sisters. The news comes just months after the pair went public with their relationship, ahead of Season 7 of the hit reality show. In May 2025, Tammy took to TikTok to post a selfie taken with Andrea marking the first time Tammy shared a joint photo with her new partner.
“You know, I never found love until I looked into your eyes,” Tammy wrote.
Season 7 of the reality show lifted the lid on Tammy’s relationship with Andrea, in fact cameras filmed the moment they went on their “first ever date” at a bowling alley.
How did Tammy and Andrea meet?
In a Season 7 episode of 1000-Lb Sisters, Andrea explained how she and Tammy came into each other’s lives. “Tammy and I met on a dating app, I had just got on there, I wasn’t on there very long. I saw her and she saw me and we just started talking and it’s been like every day since.”
Who is Andrea?
Andrea hasn’t shared many details about professional or personal life and doesn’t appear to have a social media account of her own. Fans only snippets of Andrea have come from the show and what Tammy has shared of her on social media. All we do know is that Andrea appears to make Tammy very happy.
“Andrea is beautiful, I like everything about her,” Tammy said. “I do have feelings for Andrea but right now we’re just taking things slow day-by-day.”
Tammy opens up about her sexuality
Before Tammy made her relationship with Andrea official, she expressed concerns that her family wouldn’t be accepting of her dating a woman. Her relationship with Andrea was Tammy’s first connection since the death of her husband Caleb Willingham in June 2023. The 38-year-old, who previously came out as pansexual, shared that she wants to take a new approach to dating.
“After Caleb’s passing, I just don’t want to be with a man anymore,” Tammy told cameras. Then in January 2024, months after Caleb’s passing, Tammy shared a new update with fans about her dating preferences. “I was saying I was pansexual, but I kinda stopped messing with guys after my husband passed,” she said in a TikTok video. “So, I’m like a lesbian.”
