1000-Lb Sisters: Signs Amanda Halterman's New Boyfriend Is A Clout Chaser (Will He Stay With Her If The Show Gets Canceled?)

1000-lb Sisters season 6 star Amanda Halterman has a new boyfriend, but there are signs that he's a clout chaser who won't stick around if the show gets canceled. 44-year-old Amanda didn't appear in the first few seasons because she was going through a divorce from her ex-husband, Jason Halterman. Once the divorce was finally behind her, she made her television debut during season 4, and her star has been on the rise ever since. Amanda's hot-headed personality, biting sense of humor, and her entertaining love life have made the mother of four a fan favorite.

Though the show is mostly about the weight-loss journeys of 37-year-old Amy Slaton and 38-year-old Tammy Slaton, several of their other siblings are on the show, including Amanda. 1000-lb Sisters season 6 has featured much more of Amanda, and her love life has been a big part of the story. Since her divorce, Amanda has been a single woman, and her dating life has served as entertainment fodder for fans. After being in and out of several tumultuous relationships, she recently introduced her new boyfriend to her social media followers.

Amanda's Last Boyfriend Hurt Her Deeply

Paradise Lost

Amanda and Jason quietly finalized their divorce right before 1000-lb Sisters season 4. They'd been married for 22 years and had four sons together. Finding herself single again, Amanda started dating again. She eventually met a new guy named RJ and fell for him hard. During a 1000-lb Sisters season 6 family meeting, Amanda announced that she'd be moving from Kentucky to Florida to be with RJ. The couple seemed solid when Amanda posted a now-deleted photo of her and her then-boyfriend on TikTok, taken during happier times. The photo is of Amanda and RJ cuddled up on the beach.

Amanda seemed happy living in Florida with RJ, but her happiness would be short-lived. In June, Amanda posted a TikTok in which she revealed that RJ had ghosted her completely. According to Amanda's TikTok, he left town to visit his family and never came home. She tried contacting him, but he wouldn't respond. The man she thought she'd spend the rest of her life with had disappeared without respecting her enough to break up with her. Though Amanda loved living in Florida, she packed up her things and headed back to her family in Kentucky.

Amanda's New Boyfriend

"Three Months And A Lifetime To Go"

Amanda has dated a handful of other men since her divorce, but RJ was her most serious relationship. After the breakup, she briefly dated another man, but they ended things before she went public with the relationship, so his identity remained unknown. Recently, Amanda posted a TikTok about her new relationship. The post is a photo of Amanda and her new boyfriend, who appears to be a man named Leonard E Moore. "Three months and a lifetime to go," reads Amanda's caption. After dating for three months, Amanda finally felt like she could go public with her relationship.

One fan pointed out that Amanda looked happy, to which she responded, "I am." Amanda has been known to respond to fans in the comment section sometimes, and this was one of those times. "I'm so confused," read one comment. "Some posts say she's not with him and that he ghosted her and now she's back in Kentucky...what's the real story?" Amanda responded directly to the question, writing, "Rj did ghost me. I came back to Ky. Dated one other dude for a very short time and met mellow 3 months ago."

The last thing Amanda wants to think about is her ex-boyfriend. RJ ripped Amanda's heart out in the most disrespectful way, and it took her a while to get over him. For a while after their breakup, she was still angry at RJ, but she has since seemed to move on. Now she has this new boyfriend and she's no longer thinking about RJ. Amanda deserves a lot of credit for opening her heart again after what RJ did to her. She deserves to find love, and hopefully, she'll be happy with her new boyfriend.

Is Amanda's New Boyfriend A Clout Chaser?

He's Her New Manager

Though Amanda shares few details about her new boyfriend, she links to Leonard's TikTok page, which identifies him as "Entertainment Manager of Amanda Halterman of 1000lb Sisters/Author/Public Figure." His first TikTok post came in September 2024, and he hasn't posted much since then. It's unclear if Leonard has experience as an entertainment manager, or if Amanda is his first client. It's also unclear if he started out as Amanda's manager and became her boyfriend, or if it happened the other way around.

If Leonard is a good manager, he came along just in time. With Amanda getting more screen time during 1000-lb Sisters season 6, her star is rapidly on the rise. Though the show is about her famous sisters, Amanda has made quite a name for herself on the series and has become a fan favorite. Tammy and Amy have had to step aside and share the spotlight with their older sister, and Amanda is making the most of her time in the spotlight.
