Amy and Tammy are Back! How to Watch Tonight’s Season 8 Premiere of ‘1000-lb Sisters’

From Tammy’s budding relationship and long-awaited skin removal surgery to Amy’s shocking arrest and whirlwind engagement, Season 7 of 1000-lb Sisters was one wild ride. But tonight’s Season 8 premiere is bound to be just as explosive: Amy’s engagement is still intact, but Amy and Tammy’s huge fight is still raging. Amy didn’t end Season 7 on the best terms with the rest of the family either: Remember how Chris and Brittany—both Pentecostal—reacted when Amy said her dream wedding venue was an actual insane asylum?

For as much drama as there is, there are just as many heartwarming and uplifting moments—and that’s why we love 1000-lb Sisters so much. As always, we’re #TeamTamTam, and we can’t wait see more sweet moments between her and Andrea—as well as the exciting opportunities that arise after her hard-earned weight loss. And it looks like Amy is making big changes, too. “I am trying to learn from my mistakes,” she tells the family. “I’m becoming an adult for once.”

Here’s how you can watch the Season 8 premiere of 1000-lb Sisters—plus every lingering question answered.

Has ‘1000-lb Sisters’ Been Renewed for Season 9?

A Season 9 renewal has not been announced yet, but don’t worry! Season 8 of ‘1000-lb Sisters’ was not announced until December 2, 2025—just 35 days before tonight’s premiere.

Who is Amy’s fiancé, Brian Lovvorn, and what is his job?

Brian Lovvorn is a divorced dad of two. From 1999-2006, he worked as a sports journalist and editor before switching careers to become a pediatric care nurse. However, in November 2023, he returned to his roots and rejoined The Messenger’s editorial team. ““I’m so excited to have the opportunity to cover sports in Hopkins County again,” he told the publication. “I’ve said I hope sports writing is like riding a bike because 17 years is a long time to be away from it.”

Is Tammy still dating Andrea Dalton?

Yes, things are still going strong between Tammy and Andrea, who we met in Season 7’s second episode. In the Season 8 trailer, Tammy even says, “I kinda wonder if she’s gonna ask me to marry her.”

How old is Tammy from ‘1000-lb Sisters’?

Tammy is currently 39 years old. She was born on July 27, 1986.

How old are ‘1000-lb Sisters’ star Amy’s kids, Gage and Glenn, now?

Amy gave birth to the first of two adorable sons—Gage—with ex-husband Michael Halterman on November 10, 2020. Gage is currently 5 years old, while Glenn’s birthday is July 5, 2022, so he will turn 4 this summer.

Why do Amy and her sister, Amanda, both have the last name Halterman?

Here we go: Amy Slaton married Michael Halterman, while her sister Amanda was married to Michael’s brother, Jason Halterman. So they are not only biological sisters, but were also once sisters-in-law. Note that while Amy and Amanda share the same mother, they have different fathers, making them half sisters.
