“Gage is going to be a big brother in July 2022,” she wrote on Instagram. “I’m due July 18th!!!! We are over the moon!!!!”

Later that month, Amy shared a video from her gender reveal party on YouTube. Though she had been hoping for a girl, she learned she’d be having another boy. At the time, Amy and Michael were planning on naming the baby John, but they apparently decided to go in a different direction.

‘1000-Lb Sisters’: Tammy Slaton Admits She Was Mad When Amy Slaton Had Surgery

Amy and her sister Tammy rose to fame on TLC’s 1000-lb Sisters, which premiered in 2020. The show’s third season wrapped up in late 2022. 

The reality series chronicles Amy and Tammy’s family life and efforts to lose weight. Amy has been successful in her quest to shed pounds. When the show began, she weighed just over 400 pounds. But she wanted to lose weight so she could have a baby. By season 3, she was down to 275 pounds thanks to a combination of surgery and changes to her diet and exercise routine.

Tammy’s weight loss journey has been rockier than her sister’s. She weighed 605 pounds when the show began and has struggled to lose the weight required to qualify for bariatric surgery. She’s also faced various medical crises. That includes an incident at the end of season 3 that required doctors to place her in a medically-induced coma. She’s since lost more than 100 pounds, according to In Touch Weekly. 

TLC has not confirmed if 1000-lb Sisters will return for season 4.
