1000-lb Sisters star Amanda Halterman went through a devastating breakup recently, but she already appears to be dating a new mystery man. Though the show centers on the weight loss journeys of 36-year-old Amy Slaton and 37-year-old Tammy Slaton, several of their siblings have also lost a lot of weight over the years, including their older sister, 43-year-old Amanda. Inspired by her famous sisters, Amanda had bariatric surgery for the second time in March 2023.
Losing weight isn’t the only major change that Amanda has gone through since the show’s premiere in 2020. She didn’t appear in the first few seasons of the show because she was going through a divorce from Jason Halterman at the time. Not long after finalizing her divorce, Amanda was already dating a new man, RJ, and even moved from Kentucky to Florida to be with him, leaving her close-knit family behind. Now that that relationship has ended, the 1000-lb Sisters season 5 star is already posting TikToks of a mystery new man.
Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.
RJ Ghosted Amanda
She’s Been Living With Amy
In June, Amanda posted a TikTok explaining that her live-in boyfriend, RJ, had just ghosted her. According to Amanda’s TikTok, the last time she saw RJ was May 1, when he left town to visit his family. Amanda and RJ had planned to meet in Kentucky in late May, but he never showed up. Amanda tried contacting him, but the 1000-lb Sisters co-star got no response. RJ had simply disappeared from Amanda’s life without an explanation. Amanda had been living with Amy in Kentucky ever since.
The post got at least 33K likes before being deleted, and the caption read, ” #breakup #itisfinished accepting applications for my future husband .”
Who Is Amanda’s New Boyfriend?
A Mystery Man
In July 2024, just a few weeks after announcing her breakup from RJ, Amanda posted a series of photos on TikTok of herself posing affectionately alongside a mystery man to the tune of “I Like You” by Femi Jaye. The photos feature the 1000-lb Sisters co-star and her new friend hanging out in the park, posing in front of a restaurant, and making funny faces in multiple selfies.
The post has 13.4K likes so far, and Amanda’s caption reads, ” not to often do you find someone who matches your crazy and accepts you for who you are .”
1000-Lb Sisters Teases Amanda Halterman’s Big Goodbye
Amy and Amanda Halterman frequently fight on 1000-Lb Sisters. But this season, they’re getting along quite well. They’re relying on one another after their respective divorces from Jason and Michael Halterman and being single mothers.
So how will the siblings react when Amanda announces she’s moving to Florida to be with her new boyfriend?
“Amanda Bomb at Dinner,” a viewer wrote on Reddit recently. “I saw the promo for the up coming family dinner that will air on 11/12. What’s everyone’s prediction to Amanda’s bomb drop?”
While other 1000-Lb Sisters fans were excited to see the new episode, they also had a hard time answering this question. Most knew the truth about the Florida boyfriend at this point.
“It’s funny cause if you follow them on tiktok, you’d already know. Not sure if she was supposed to talk about it, but she sure as hell did. I already know how this chapter ends haha,” one Redditor replied.
