Tammy Slaton is taking the next step in her relationship with Andrea Dalton.
Two months after the 1,000-lb. Sisters star shared she was in a new relationship with a woman, she revealed she is officially engaged.
“Me and my fiancée,” Tammy said during the June 24 episode of the A Creative Chaos podcast. “We just kind of chill at home.”
Naturally, the word choice piqued the interest of host Hunter Ezell who said, “Hold on, fiancée?”
Tammy couldn’t keep herself from smiling as Hunter went on to point out her necklace which read “Andrea,” and held her diamond ring up to show off for the cameras. While the 38-year-old was tight-lipped about the specifics of her engagement, Tammy did share that she and her fiancée have already been together for three years.
Tammy’s engagement news comes shortly after she revealed her relationship with Andrea during an April episode of 1,000-lb. Sisters.
“I have been seeing someone for the past couple months and it’s going pretty well,” Tammy said in a confessional during the episode. “The person I’m dating is a woman.”
At the time, Tammy admitted she had kept the relationship under wraps because she did not want judgement from her family, which includes sister Amy Slaton.
“So I haven’t told my family because my family’s gonna have something to say about it,” she continued in the confessional. “I think my family probably has more opinions than the world has a–holes because they be farting so much.”
As she put it, “I don’t know how my family’s gonna react when I tell them I’m seeing a woman.”
Of course, Tammy had already been forward about her sexuality in the past, when she told her former boyfriend Jerry that she was pansexual during a 2021 episode of her TLC series. Years later, after her husband Caleb Willingham died in 2023, Tammy shared an update on her preferences again on social media.
“I was saying I was pansexual, but I kinda stopped messing with guys after my husband passed,” Tammy said in a since-deleted TikTok in 2024. “So, I’m like a lesbian.”
