The source close to the 1000-Lb. Sisters star confirmed: “It’s official and they have been dating for at least 3 months.”
Though the pair is serious, it appears in the wake of her divorce and custody battle with her ex-husband Michael Halterman, 40, Amy has been hesitant to make the relationship public.
The source explained: “She’s been keeping him on the down low, but he’s been living with her in Kentucky.”
Tony is from Battle Creek, Michigan, and according to the insider, before he moved to Kentucky, Amy would make frequent trips to spend time with him.
“From what I know, the kids live with them,” the insider continued.
Amy shares her two boys, Gage, two, and Glenn, one, with her ex Michael.
As for the status of Amy and Tony’s relationship, the source claimed they are “going strong” and “spending lots of time with the kids.”
MYSTERY MAN
Earlier this week, 1000-Lb. Sisters spotted Tony in a new video Amy shared on her YouTube channel.
Amy slipped up and revealed Tony in a video clip from celebrating Glenn’s first birthday at a Hibachi restaurant.
Amy even referred to Tony as “daddy” a few times in the video.
The rest of the video featured Glenn blowing out his birthday candles.
Michael did not appear to be present for his son’s birthday celebration at the restaurant.
TOO SOON?
Amy’s fans took to an online forum space to discuss the TLC star’s new relationship.
One critic remarked: “Yikes… referring to her new boyfriend as daddy is definitely not good for those kids.”
A second posted: “It’s one thing to rebound after a divorce – it’s another to bring them around your kids and be calling them daddy.”
Yet a third fan shared: “I’m actually shocked even though I know I shouldn’t be!
“I didn’t think she’d move on this year, to be honest, but here we are!”
A fourth commented that he “didn’t look very thrilled to be [at Glenn’s birthday dinner].”
While Amy has not yet made a public statement announcing her new boyfriend, she has been showing off her drastic weight loss and unique looks on social media since her split from Michael.
Both Amy and her sister Tammy Slaton, 37, have undergone huge transformations in recent months – even while grieving the death of Tammy’s late husband, Caleb Willingham.
HEARING DROPPED
In
In the spring, Amy and Michael battled it out in court over the custody of their two children.
Michael filed for divorce against Amy back in March, but Amy filed domestic violence claims against her former partner in February – and those charges have since been dropped.
The TLC stars were scheduled to be in court on June 1 to continue to battle it out over their open divorce and custody case, but they ended up deciding to settle the situation privately.
