1000-lb Sisters season 7 star, Amy Slaton, has entered a new romantic chapter with Bryan Scott Lovvorn. However, there are several indicators that their relationship may not withstand the test of time. Initially, Amy appeared on the show in 2020 while married to Michael Halterman, facing personal hurdles as she weighed 408 pounds and struggled to start a family. Over the years, her life has seen dramatic changes, including significant weight loss, the birth of two sons, and ultimately, a divorce. Following her single status, Amy explored several romantic options before connecting with Bryan.
In the lead-up to the current season, Amy announced her budding relationship on social media, highlighting that she and Bryan met at a concert. Their bond quickly intensified, and Bryan expressed a desire for them to live together, even inviting her children to join him. Despite the apparent happiness this relationship brings, several factors suggest potential turmoil ahead.
7
Significant Age Gap
Bryan is Significantly Older
Bryan, at 50, is significantly older than Amy, who is 37, creating a 13-year gap that might raise concerns. Although age differences can be navigated successfully—as seen in other relationships in the show—it poses a challenge. Amy has matured especially since her divorce, but she may still struggle emotionally with a partner who is considerably older.

Living Together Alters Dynamics
Amy’s Decision to Move In
In season 7, Bryan extended an invitation for Amy and her children to move into his home, citing its larger space and amenities. While Amy approved under the condition that the home would be child-proofed, this significant step may be premature. Moving in together too quickly may complicate her ability to evaluate their relationship effectively.
5
Initial Disinterest in Bryan
Lack of Initial Chemistry
Initially, Amy did not feel a spark with Bryan. Her lack of attraction raises concerns that her decision to pursue this relationship may stem more from his affections than her own feelings. As the novelty of the romance fades, Amy could reflect on whether this connection truly fulfills her needs.

Accelerated Relationship Progression
Diverting Attention from Personal Growth
Post-weight loss and marriage, Amy invested considerable effort into being a devoted mother and improving her own life. Yet, with the pursuit of a new relationship, there’s a risk that she might neglect other aspects, particularly her children’s adjustment to Bryan. If her family does not accept Bryan, it could spell disaster for both her and the budding romance.
3
Family Dissent
The Slaton Family’s Reservations
A recent episode showcased Bryan proposing to Amy in the presence of her visibly disapproving family. Their hesitance towards the engagement highlights a significant disconnect. This disapproval, particularly from her cherished siblings, could create rifts that jeopardize their relationship if Bryan is not accepted.
2
Current Personal Turmoil
Legal and Personal Challenges
Amy’s life is currently complicated. One episode saw her sustain an injury from a camel while on a family outing, leading to police involvement over a marijuana issue stemming from Bryan’s vehicle. With potential legal repercussions looming, Amy may find herself overwhelmed and unable to dedicate herself fully to her relationship with Bryan.
1
Pressure for Parenthood
Desires for a Family Expansion
The intensity of their relationship took a serious turn with Bryan’s desire for Amy to reverse her pregnancy prevention measures. Despite her recent transitional phase, the urgency from Bryan for childbirth is troubling. Her sister Amanda cautioned Amy about rushing into such significant decisions, yet Amy feels steadfast in her belief that Bryan could be the right partner down the line.
“I really think he can be the one, one day.”
This eagerness could potentially cause friction as Bryan’s insistence on having a child may overwhelm Amy, leading to more problems in their relationship dynamic.
