1000-lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton confirms sexuality amid dating rumours
1000-lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton has confirmed her sexuality amid dating rumours in a brand-new interview.
Speaking on the Creative Chaos podcast by the Ezell Film Company in a video uploaded on Tuesday (19 August), the reality TV star opened up about a whole host of topics, including her brand-new teeth, her weight loss journey as well as her relationship status.
Now, any die-hard Tammy fans out there will no doubt already know that she opened up about her engagement on her last appearance on the podcast back in June, but it's clear viewers were itching for the latest update on the matter and for more deets on who her future life partner is.
"You know, another thing that I think is real crazy is that you and I literally took promo photos," the host said during the interview, "and they were like, 'Tammy stuns with new Boo'. That new 'Boo'? Me!

"Honey, I'm married!"
"And I'm gay!" Tammy interjected, before the host replied: "Literally! So, literally, what happened there?"
Tammy replied: "I can't take a picture with a friend."
She then went on to open up about her fiancée, whose name is Andrea Dalton who she met on a dating app.
"How is she?" the host asked.
"She's good!" Tammy replied with a smile.
She also quashed a bizarre internet rumour that Andrea was 'in a coma for four days and dying', explaining how a picture of Andrea in hospital for some tests 'smiling and doing the peace sign' snowballed into misinformation.
During June's episode on the show, the TLC star wore a silver necklace with the name 'Andrea' as she revealed what she and her fiancée get up to together.
"Me and my fiancée we kind of just chill at home," she shared.
"Like, we go to Walmart and just walk around or Roses, somewhere like that, not to buy just to walk around, get some exercise, something to do."
Back in April, during the season seven premiere of 1000-Lb. Sisters, Tammy confirmed that she was dating someone new, who was later revealed to be Andrea.
Audiences saw glimpses of the pair's budding romance throughout the season, including their first public date at a bowling alley.
In a confessional, Tammy said she had 'feelings' for Andrea and noted that they were 'taking things slow, day by day'.
She then waited a 'couple of months' to tell her family about her relationship due to being unsure about how they'd 'react' to her dating a woman because they have a lot of 'opinions'.
"I think I want to approach this relationship different than I have in the past, so I haven't told my family because my family’s gonna have something to say about it," she said.
Fortunately, the family seemed supportive, with Tammy's older sister Amanda Halterman saying on the show: "If she makes you happy ... that's all we want for each other is just to be happy. That’s all.
"But I don't want none of us to stop looking for it. Don't just settle. Don't stop until you find exactly what you're looking for."
Tammy's other older sister, Misty Wentworth, added: "It don't matter to me."
"If Andrea genuinely cares for Tammy and makes her happy, then I'll be happy with her," Tammy's mother, Darlene Slaton, commented.
