Amanda Halterman is the fan-favorite Slaton sibling in 1000-lb Sisters season 3. Viewers believe Amanda's getting a divorce behind the scenes.
Amanda Halterman has been an open book during her debut season in 1000-lb Sisters, but some fans think the Slaton sibling is undergoing a divorce behind the scenes. Amanda has been crucial to Amy and Tammy Slaton's developments in 1000-lb Sisters season 3, but the pair's older sister has been reluctant to discuss anything going on in her personal life like her relationship status. From her increased time with her siblings in season 3 to the few comments she's made about her husband, here's why 1000-lb Sisters fans think Amanda Halterman's getting a divorce.
Amanda was the final Slaton sibling to join 1000-lb Sisters as a last-ditch effort to inspire Tammy to commit to her weight loss journey. In season 1, Tammy relied on her younger sister, Amy's, support as they took on fitness quests simultaneously. After Amy surpassed Tammy in her weight loss progress, however, Tammy needed another sibling to keep her motivated. In 1000-lb Sisters season 2, Chris Combs was tapped in to be Tammy's chief source of encouragement. Regrettably, Chris also went on to eclipse Tammy in their fitness ventures. Amanda was the fifth and final Slaton sibling to join 1000-lb Sisters and influence Tammy. Amanda's ambiguous marriage throughout season 3 made fans think Amanda's getting a divorce.
Amanda might be the last of Tammy's siblings to attempt to inspire the 1000-lb Sisters star, but Amanda swiftly demonstrated that she's an invaluable member of Tammy Slaton's support system. Although they argue occasionally, Amanda's personal experience with bariatric surgery and her compassion for Tammy have helped the Slaton cause. While Amanda's been dedicated to helping her sister get out of her weight loss rut, 1000-lb Sisters fans noticed that Amanda has revealed next to nothing about her personal life outside of her relationships with her siblings. Specifically, the Slaton family's followers are curious about Amanda's husband, who is rarely referenced and entirely absent from 1000-lb Sisters. Some fans think that Amanda's aversion to discussing her marriage indicates that she's undergoing a divorce. A Reddit user admitted, "[A divorce] would make sense as to why she’s around the show now and spending more time with her family."
Fans think that Amanda Halterman's getting a divorce because she suddenly has the availability to spend all of her time with Tammy and the rest of the Slaton siblings in 1000-lb Sisters season 3. Viewers theorize that Amanda's using her family as a way to get away from her breakup. Even on the family getaway to the Smokey Mountains, Amanda's spouse was the only partner not accounted for. One fan recalled, "I was wondering why [Amanda's] other half wasn’t on the family vaycay but all the others were." Additionally, some 1000-lb Sisters sleuths claimed that Amanda alluded to her divorce in exclusive Discovery+ behind-the-scenes content. A viewer recounted, "Amanda said... that [she and her husband] are still legally married 'up until they finish that off.'" This admission validated fans' theory that Amanda is in the process of getting a divorce from her husband.
Amanda has been integral to the Slaton family's progress in season 3, but fans think Amanda's presence in 1000-lb Sisters is the result of her ongoing breakup. From her husband's eternal omission from the series to her discouraging comments, fans think Amanda Halterman's getting a divorce when she's not taking care of Tammy. Fortunately, Tammy's sure to keep divorce off of Amanda's mind as she struggles to make weight loss progress in 1000-lb Sisters.
