Inside Tammy Slaton’s Engagement to Andrea Dalton: From Swipe Right to ‘I Do’ Vibes
Another day, another celeb romance to decode—this time it’s Tammy Slaton’s turn under the microscope as she seals the deal with fiancée Andrea Dalton. The 1,000-lb. Sisters star went from reality-TV confessionals to a full-on love fest after three years of slow-burn dating, and she’s finally ready to put a ring on it (source: A Creative Chaos podcast, June 24).
Slaton first teased her audience during TLC’s latest season when she couldn’t stop gushing, “Andrea’s beautiful… I like everything about her. We’ve been getting very close.” Fans already had heart-eye emojis at the ready, but the official “fiancée” label only dropped recently on the A Creative Chaos podcast. Host Hunter Ezell paused for clarity—and Slaton flashed a diamond ring alongside a necklace engraved “Andrea.” Cue collective swoon.
Here’s the lowdown on Andrea Dalton: she’s the woman who slid into Tammy’s DMs via a dating app. As Dalton revealed on 1,000-lb. Sisters season seven, the spark was immediate. “I had just got on [the app],” Andrea said in her confessional. “I wasn’t on there very long and I saw her and she saw me and we just started talking. And it’s been, like, every day since.”
In a refreshing twist for reality-TV romances, Tammy insisted on pacing things. After her husband Caleb Willingham’s tragic passing in 2023, she paused all male dating and leaned into her pansexual identity—eventually settling on exclusive dating with women. A since-deleted TikTok from early 2024 saw her joking, “So, I’m like a lesbian,” but the heart wants what it wants, and Andrea was it.
Family dynamics are realer-than-real on 1,000-lb. Sisters, and Slaton initially braced herself for judgment. “My family’s gonna have something to say about it,” she confessed, half-joking that they’ve “more opinions than the world has a––holes.” Surprise plot twist: her older sisters, Misty Wentworth and Amanda Halterman, didn’t bat an eye. Misty’s verdict: “It don’t matter to me.” Amanda’s take was equally chill: “I don’t care as long as she treats you right.”
Now that the duo is engaged, Tammy’s casually vibing at home with Andrea, dropping love notes and low-key updates instead of marathon relationship dramas. From online meet-cute to reality-star approval to that sparkly ring moment, their journey feels genuine—and definitely binge-worthy.
Expect more sweet snapshots, behind-the-scenes TLC episodes, and probably some hashtagged declarations on Instagram. If you’re still hung up on this soap-opera-meets-app-swiping love story, get ready for more PDA-laced cameo appearances—because Tammy and Andrea are just getting started. Anyway, that’s the deal. Do with it what you will.
