Amy Slaton from 1000-Lb Sisters has shared an update on the custody of her two sons following her much-talked-about camel bite incident and arrest. Before rising to TLC fame, Amy and her sister Tammy Slaton were YouTubers, but from the very start of season 1, Amy’s biggest goal was to lose weight and become a mother.
She went on to welcome two sons with her ex-husband, Michael Halterman, though their marriage ended in divorce amid claims that Michael wasn’t pulling his weight as a father. In season 7, Amy got engaged to
Amy recently shared a happy update about her life as a mom on Instagram. Amy wrote, “Hope the rain clear up soon,” in her caption. She added that she was going to play tennis with her boys. Amy posted a picture of a Head Instinct 21-inch tennis racket, which she’d purchased. A sticker on the racket mentioned that it was meant for kids between the ages of 4 and 6. Amy’s followers praised her for choosing tennis as her form of exercise with her sons. User @Samuel_gattlin wrote, “Continue being a good mom, seek help when you need it.”
In September 2024, 1000-Lb Sisters star Amy Slaton and her boyfriend, Brian Scott Lovvorn, were briefly taken into custody on charges of alleged illegal drug possession and child endangerment. While Amy was detained, her sister, Amanda Halterman, stepped in to take temporary custody of her two sons.
The arrest sparked speculation that Amy might permanently lose custody of 4-year-old Gage and 2-year-old Glenn. However, in May 2025, Amy set the record straight, confirming that she never lost custody and that both boys are now back in her care.
Amy Slaton celebrated Mother’s Day by taking her sons, Gage and Glenn, out for their favorite ham and cheese breakfast — a simple, heartfelt gesture that warmed fans’ hearts. Yet, some viewers remain skeptical of her fiancé, Brian Scott Lovvorn, due to his past and the whirlwind pace of their romance. Amy said “yes” just five months after meeting him, a decision her family openly questioned.
Still, Amy seems determined to silence her critics. In a recent Instagram post, she shared a glimpse of Gage and Glenn playing tennis, a moment that highlighted her dedication to fostering healthy habits and active lifestyles for her boys from an early age.
Amy may have stumbled in the past, but she’s making a clear effort to set things right. Her love for Gage and Glenn was the driving force behind her weight loss journey, and she’s determined not to let that hard work go to waste. While her family continues to offer guidance, Amy stands firm as an adult capable of making her own choices. Though much of her 1000-Lb Sisters storyline has centered on her relationships, her ultimate goal remains the same — to give her boys a stable father figure and a secure home. She’s asking fans to believe that this time, she’s fully committed to getting it right.
