In the past, Tammy dated men who didn't help her in her weight loss journey. For example, her ex-boyfriend, Jerry Sykes, encouraged her unhealthy eating habits, which made her sister, Amy, detest him. Eventually, Tammy and Jerry broke up, much to Amy's delight. However, Tammy shocked her sister when she revealed she began dating Jerry again. However, they split again, and Tammy started dating Phillip, who was problematic for Tammy, as he was only interested in bigger women who weighed at lead 300 lbs. Since Phillip was interested in bigger women, he derailed Tammy's weight loss journey. However, she felt there was no problem with that, noting that Phillip supported her and knew she was on a weight loss journey.

Despite Tammy's villainous past, the 1000-lb Sisters star seems to have turned a new leaf and is gradually learning to live a healthier life. For instance, Tammy took rehab seriously and met Caleb Willingham there. The twosome tied the knot in November 2022. Caleb seems like the right man for Tammy as he would motivate her to stay healthy. In addition to marrying a good partner, Tammy has also made progress on her weight loss journey as she achieved her target weight and likely received weight loss surgery. Hopefully, Tammy will continue her weight-loss progress and will leave her villainous behavior behind her.
