1000-Lb. Sisters star Amy Slaton-Halterman and her husband, Michael Halterman, are reportedly separated. A source close to the couple claims the TLC stars have been “having trouble” in their marriage, leading many to believe Amy and Michael are heading for divorce. Here’s what we know.
Amy from ‘1000-Lb. Sisters’ could be getting a divorce
According to The Sun, Amy and Michael no longer live together. A source told the outlet Amy and her two sons, Gage and Glenn, are living with Tammy Slaton, who is out of rehab and at home in Kentucky.
“Amy says Michael is lazy, and has been jealous of her attention toward the kids,” the insider claims. “They’ve been having trouble since last year.”
In the “A Lot of Cooks in the Kitchen” episode of 1000-Lb. Sisters, Amy was frustrated with Michael. First, he didn’t clean the house while he was quarantining with the coronavirus (COVID-19) or help much with the kids. Amy reached her breaking point at a family party when both boys needed her attention simultaneously and Michael seemingly did nothing.
At publication, Amy and Michael are allegedly separated. Neither party has filed for divorce yet.

Episode 7 of Season 4 Part 1, “Proof is in the Pudding,” will air on Feb. 28, which means there’s only one more episode until 1000-Lb. Sisters takes a break.
TLC may have already finished filming the second half of the season. But if they’re actively filming now, the show could cover Amy and Michael’s separation in new episodes, but fans will have to stay tuned to find out.
