1000-lb Sisters star Amy Slaton has endured a rough 2023 as her divorce proceedings unravel her already chaotic life, but there are signs she's moved on from Michael Halterman. Although the focus of 1000-lb Sisters is Amy and Tammy Slaton’s weight loss goals, their personal lives become intertwined in that difficult task. After being with her husband for over ten years, Michael and Amy are officially divorcing.
Michael and Amy’s relationship has spanned over ten years. The former couple shares two sons together: Gage, born in 2020, and Glenn, born in 2022. Shortly after Gage was born, the 1000-lb Sisters stars began to experience problems in their marriage. Although Amy recently dropped the domestic violence charges against Michael, proceedings continue as of May 2023. There are signs in Amy’s personal life that she's moving on past Michael toward a better life.
