1000 Lb Sisters: Amy Reveals How She Started Dating Her New BF
Amy Slaton has gone through a lot this year. Things changed when she became a mother for the second time on 1000 Lb Sisters Season 3. That’s when viewers began to sense a change in her and her husband, Michael’s dynamics. He came off as a deadbeat father, letting his wife take care of the responsibilities of handling not one but two babies.
At last, the couple did reach their saturation point as the news about their divorce came into the limelight in March 2023. Well, after months of this split, it seems like Amy has moved on. She took to her TikTok handle to share pictures with her new partner, Tony Rodgers, with the caption, “a&a forever.”
As per Enews, Amy also confirmed her new relationship with her statement. For her, the “sparks just flew,” and she knew. Moreover, the 1000 Lb Sisters star didn’t know when it would be the right time for her to announce her new relationship. But she knew she had to “go for it.” As far as Michael is concerned, he had to move out of their Kentucky house.
Now, he has been living with his mother and shares joint custody with Amy for their sons Glenn and Gage. While the main cast member takes care of them during the weekdays, he gets to have them for weekends and holidays. Viewers might get a glimpse of Amy’s new relationship in the current season of their family show that began airing yesterday, i.e., 12 December.
1000 Lb Sisters: Amy Has No Regrets Showing Her Failed Marriage On Screens, Had To Be “Vulnerable”
In the last season, Amy’s family members constantly reminded her that parenthood is a dual thing. Hence, her husband, Michael, needs to be equally involved. Things became overwhelming for the new mom after the birth of her second baby, Glenn. Her husband would often be captured standing in a corner awkwardly, refusing to help.
Amy mentioned how it was “emotionally” challenging to showcase the downfall of her marriage in the show. Yet, she decided to go along with it after realizing how many women stuck in the same situation will be able to relate and hopefully come out stronger from their failed bonds. Hence, even if it was hard for her to be “vulnerable,” she knew how it could help somebody, somewhere.
