1000-Lb Sisters: Amanda Halterman's New "Secret Boyfriend" May Not Be Good Enough For Her (Is He In It For Love Or The Spotlight?)

1000-Lb Sisters star Amanda Halterman has been accused of wanting to steal the spotlight from Tammy Slaton on the reality TV show, but will it be her boyfriend, Leonard Moore, who becomes more famous than her in the process? Amanda has been on a weight-loss journey of her own while sharing screen space with younger sisters Tammy and Amy for several seasons. The 44-year-old Amanda wasn’t a part of the show until 2023. Yet, she’s now become a major part of 1000-Lb Sisters, with viewers wondering if she’s hungry for more.

Amanda underwent bariatric surgery in 2014 but couldn’t manage her weight loss, leading to all the weight coming back. The bus driver and social media influencer decided to undergo gastric bypass surgery in March 2023. The results of Amanda’s latest weight-loss procedure have been stunning. Perhaps it’s what she needed to finally find happiness in her love life. Amanda has been dating a man named Leonard for the past few months. The new couple has already become controversial in the franchise.
