After a short-lived romance with Tony Rodgers in 2023, 1000-Lb. Sisters star Amy Slaton has another new man in her life. The TLC star confirmed her relationship with a man named Kevin in February 2024, nearly one year after her ex-husband, Michael Halterman, filed for divorce.
Does ‘1000-Lb. Sisters’ Star Amy Slaton Have a New Boyfriend?
Amy first hinted at her relationship with Kevin in a TikTok post on February 2, 2024. She posted a photo of flowers and a card which read, “To my queen [heart] Kevin.” Amy captioned the post, “How can someone be so kind!! Not knowing this was my favorite flower or my grandma [sic] favorite flowers, thank u @Kevin u really know how to make a girl [sic] night.”
Two days later, she documented their first date by posting two selfies with her new man on the social media site. “Thank you for a [sic] awesome first date!!” Amy wrote. “Cant [sic] wait to do it again soon.”
She went on to share footage from the pair’s next three dates throughout the month of February 2024. Fans were concerned about Amy jumping into another new relationship so quickly and were worried when they saw videos of Kevin smoking cigarettes on his own TikTok page.
One fan even warned the television personality that Kevin – who is reportedly known as “Mr. Dad” on YouTube – was “in multiple women’s DMs.” However, Amy insisted that she was aware of what was going on. “He screenshot me everything,” she replied. “I know what’s going on.”
In a February 24, 2024, TikTok post, Amy also addressed fans’ concern that she would be introducing Kevin to her sons. She assured worried followers that the boys wouldn’t be meeting her new beau for “maybe a year” and said that Kevin would have to meet the kids’ dad, Michael, before he spent any time with them. “We’re doing this right,” she insisted. “I’m not meeting his kids, he ain’t meeting my kids for almost a year. First things first, you gotta build trust with Michael because at the end of the day they’re his kids too.” Kevin has three kids from a past relationship.
What Happened Between ‘1000-Lb. Sisters’ Star Amy Slaton and Tony Rodgers?
Before she was with Kevin, Amy dated Tony. Long before she confirmed her relationship with Tony, fans speculated that there was a new man in her life. The theorizing began when she took to YouTube in August 2023 to share a video of her family celebrating her son Glenn’s birthday at a hibachi restaurant.
Amy and her family were seen sitting at a table as the chef prepared their meal in front of them. She panned the camera around the table to show several familiar faces. However, fans didn’t recognize one mystery man that wore a black T-shirt with the Scream movie logo on it.
While the TLC personality didn’t reveal who the man was, she hinted they might be dating by referring to him as “daddy” several times in the clip.
Shortly after Amy shared the clip on August 10, a handful of fans took to social media to speculate that the mother of two was dating the mystery man. “Amy’s new bf?” the person asked. Another added, “Yikes… referring to her new bf as daddy is definitely not good for those kids.”
The birthday party was attended by several of Glenn’s family members, though Michael didn’t appear in the clip and seemingly skipped the celebration.
On August 16, The Sun identified Amy’s new man as Tony. According to the outlet, they had been dating for “about three months” and their romance was getting serious.
Additionally, a source told the publication that Amy and Tony were living together in Kentucky with her two kids.
Three months after the speculation began, Amy confirmed their romance by hard launching Tony in a TikTok video post on November 27. The TV personality shared a series of photos featuring her man, which she captioned, “A&a 4ever.” Additionally, the video included pictures of Tony playing with her two sons.
At the beginning of February 2024, The Sun confirmed that Amy and Tony had split. “[They would] fight all the time,” the outlet claimed. “[Tony] was difficult.” The breakup report came after Amy first started sharing videos with Kevin on TikTok.
When Did ‘1000-Lb. Sisters’ Stars Amy Slaton and Michael Halterman Split?
Amy and Michael got married in March 2019. They welcomed baby No. 1, son Gage, in November 2020, followed by their second son, Glenn, in July 2022.
Despite being seemingly happy in their relationship during season 4 of the reality show, split rumors began to circulate in February 2023 when The Sun reported that Amy and their sons moved out of their shared home in Kentucky.
Three weeks later, In Touch confirmed that Michael filed for divorce in March. The father of two filed for dissolution of marriage with children, according to Kentucky court records viewed by In Touch.
As the petitioner, Michael requested that both he and Amy attend a case management conference, according to the court documents exclusively obtained by In Touch. He also asked for a civil restraining order, which would prevent Michael and Amy from being within 500 feet of each other.
Additionally, the mill operator requested that he and Amy receive temporary joint custody of both their children and that neither of them would be allowed to publicly discuss their divorce. The paperwork also listed February 24, 2023, as their official date of separation.
Their divorce was finalized on September 6, according to legal records viewed by the U.S. Sun.. Amy and Michael were ordered to split custody of Gage and Glenn, per the settlement.
