“He can be the one, one day” 1000-lb Sisters’ Amanda cautions Amy about her fast-paced relationship with Bryan

In the latest drama unfolding on TLC's popular reality show 1000-lb Sisters, 37-year-old Amy Slaton appears to be rushing headfirst into another serious relationship barely a year after her divorce.

During the season 7 premiere, viewers watched as Amy's older sister, Amanda Halterman, voiced concerns about the whirlwind romance with 50-year-old Bryan Scott Lovvorn, whom Amy met at a concert just weeks earlier.

Despite Amanda's sensible advice to slow down, Amy dismissed her sister's worries with a dreamy declaration:

"I really think he can be the one, one day."

The exchange highlighted the ongoing tension between Amy's impulsive nature and her family's protective instincts, especially given Bryan's bold suggestions that Amy reverse her tubal ligation and move her two young sons into his home.

For 1000-lb Sisters fans who've followed Amy's journey since 2020 – from her 125-pound weight loss after bariatric surgery to motherhood and divorce, this latest chapter raises questions about whether she's truly ready for another life-altering decision.

1000-lb Sisters’ Amanda shares her concerns with Amy

The unexpected romance began in the chaos of a concert mosh pit, where Bryan's persistence eventually won Amy over despite her initial lack of interest. Their relationship quickly accelerated from first dates to matching "Scary Love" tattoos in just weeks.

Bryan hasn't wasted time integrating himself into Amy's family life. He's already spent holidays with her and her two young sons, celebrated his birthday with them, and even shared a mishap involving a marijuana possession incident during a zoo trip.

Amanda's concerns about Amy's relationship pace aren't without merit. During their heart-to-heart conversation, she tried to reason with her younger sister, suggesting that truly knowing someone requires months of dating.

"It could take at least several months until someone's true nature reveals itself," Amanda cautioned, drawing from her own life experience.

Amy's brother, Chris Combs, 44, echoed these sentiments, particularly regarding Bryan's invitation for Amy and her sons to relocate to his home. Both siblings recognize Amy's pattern of making major relationship decisions without adequate consideration.

With extra space, a swimming pool, and a wide garden for the boys to play in, Bryan's offer to let Amy and her kids move into his bigger house is alluring. After obtaining a guarantee that he would adequately childproof the property, Amy seemed open to the notion, as seen on 1000-lb Sisters.

Despite their brief courtship and large age difference, Bryan's stated wish for Amy to reverse her tubal ligation in order to have more children together worries her family more.

Amy’s history and what’s next for her moving forward

This isn't Amy's first rushed relationship. Since her 2023 divorce from Michael Halterman, the father of her two sons, she has experienced several short-lived romances before meeting Bryan.

Her transformation journey on 1000-lb Sisters has documented many impulsive choices, from disregarding medical advice about pregnancy timing after bariatric surgery to various relationship decisions that her family has questioned.

As 1000-lb Sisters season 7 continues, viewers will likely see whether Amy heeds her siblings' advice or proceeds with her characteristic spontaneity. The tension between family concerns and Amy's determination to follow her heart creates a compelling storyline that resonates with many who've witnessed loved ones in similar situations.

For now, Amanda and Chris can only hope that Amy will take a breath before making life-altering decisions that affect not just her future but the stability of her young sons as well, regardless of whether Bryan might indeed be "the one" someday.
