Tammy Slaton from TLC's 1000-lb Sisters' has opened up on her brand-new relationship.
The 38-year-old reality TV personality first shot to fame after appearing on 1000-lb Sisters', alongside her sister, Amy, back in 2020.
Tammy, who has lost a staggering 500 pounds during her weight loss journey following a bariatric surgery in 2022 and 14-month stay in a weight loss rehab facility, revealed her budding romance in a confessional preview of the series' upcoming seventh season.
"There's something I haven't told my family. Amy's not the only one that's been seeing somebody new. So have I," she teased.

"I have been seeing someone for the past couple months and it's going pretty well," she continued to share before announcing, "The person I'm dating is a woman."
Explaining that she wants to approach this new relationship differently than her past ones, Tammy continued: "So I haven't told my family because my family's gonna have something to say about it.
"I think my family probably has more opinions than the world has a**holes because they be farting so much."
This is Tammy's first relationship since the death of her husband, Caleb Wilingham, who she married in November 2022.
The romance was short-lived, however, as it was reported by the US Sun that the couple parted ways in May 2023.
Caleb then sadly passed away a few months later in July from 'complications of super morbid obesity.'
“A few years ago I came out as pansexual but after Caleb passing, I just don't want to be with men anymore," Tammy said later in the preview clip.
"I don't know how my family is going to react when I tell them I'm seeing a woman," she added.
Tammy previously opened up about her grief following Caleb's death and exactly why she is still so 'upset' with him.
"Everything has changed for me since Caleb passed, I really miss him," she reflected in a previous episode.
She also shared what she did with Caleb's ashes after his funeral, saying: "I had some of his ashes made into a necklace and a ring, that way it feels like I'm still connected to him in some way."
Tammy carried on: "I can tell he's around because I can smell his cologne and every now and then if you watch carefully, my hair will move behind my ear... [that's] Caleb.
"I know he just wanted me to be happy, but I don't know if I'm ready to let go."
Explaining how she's faring following his tragic passing, she continued. "Since Caleb died, I have more good days than I do bad. When I'm alone I'll talk out loud to Caleb. I just feel him, like I just know he's there."
Opening up about her grief some more, Tammy shared that she was left with 'all kinds of questions'.
"I had all kinds of things I wanted to say," she recalled. "I didn't hate him but I was really upset with him for dying on me and leaving me a widow, and now I'm like, I can't be mad at him, it's not his fault.
"Right now I want to thank him for what time we did have together and how great it was."
