1000-lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton has a new man in her life. The reality star, 36, is reportedly dating a 25-year-old – just weeks after news hit the web that she had split from her husband, Caleb Willingham.
According to The Sun, Tammy met the Indiana-based man, named Greg Morgan, through a dating app.
A source told the outlet that they ‘immediately hit it off’ and have been ‘seeing each other for about a month now.’
‘He’s come to see her a handful of times. He takes a six-hour bus from Indianapolis to visit her in Kentucky,’ they dished.
Moving on: 1000-lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton, 36, is reportedly dating a 25-year-old man named Greg Morgan – just weeks after news hit the web that she had split from her husband
According to The Sun, Tammy met Greg (seen), from Indiana, through a dating app. A source told the outlet they ‘immediately hit it off’ and have been ‘seeing each other for about a month’
‘He’s come to see her a handful of times. He takes a six-hour bus from Indianapolis to visit her in Kentucky,’ they dished. Tammy’s alleged new man Greg is seen
Tammy was previously married to Caleb Willingham (pictured), whom she met in rehab. The two tied the knot in December 2022, during a small ceremony at the treatment center
Earlier this month, it was reported that they had ended their relationship after only five months of marriage. Insiders told the Sun at the time that the breakup came after he ‘refused to stick to his diet’
The insider added that Greg has even met her sister Amy Slaton, as well as her nephews, Gage and Glenn.
‘Tammy is shy around him and didn’t want to eat in front of him. She said she finds him very attractive,’ they continued.
A second person who is close to the 36-year-old explained that they ‘talk regularly,’ but the large distance between them makes it difficult.
‘They’ve been talking regularly and they seem to really like each other, but they are trying to figure out when he’ll visit again, because things get tough around her filming schedule,’ the second source said.
Tammy was previously married to Caleb, whom she met in rehab. He proposed to the TV star in October 2022 in the parking lot of the treatment center, and the two went on to tie the knot two months later, during a small ceremony attended by their close friends and family.
‘They have a lot of the same struggles that they can share. They’ve been a huge support for each other [in rehab], which is awesome,’ an insider dished on their relationship at the time.
But earlier this month, it was reported that they had ended their relationship after only five months of marriage.
Insiders told the Sun at the time that the breakup came after he ‘refused to stick to his diet.’
Tammy first rose to fame in early 2020, when she starred in the TLC reality series alongside her 35-year-old sister, Amy Slaton. They are seen on the show in 2021
Back in March, Tammy (seen left in 2021 and right in 2023) stunned fans when she showed off a tremendous transformation – after shedding nearly 300 pounds
Her turn-around came after she faced a terrifying health scare in November 2021 (seen), when she was rushed to the hospital after suffering carbon monoxide poisoning

They said: ‘He has gained 30 lbs and hasn’t been working his program. They got into a big fight over it and he told her he wanted a divorce, but then he tried to backtrack.
The terrifying incident was an eye opener for Tammy – who was up to 717 pounds at that point – and she decided it was time to head to rehab
‘Tammy’s sisters Amy and Amanda were already encouraging her to just move on. She wants someone who can be there for her and his health keeps declining.
‘She would have to take care of him once he’s out of rehab, and that is her taking on the care of a whole other person when she can barely take care of herself, so the relationship is pointless.’
The source also pointed out that they ‘got married after just knowing each other over the course of weeks,’ adding, ‘She isn’t able to care for someone else at this point in her recovery.’
It was said that they signed a prenup before tying the knot – so her earnings from the reality show were protected.

After shedding hundreds of pounds in rehab, Tammy (seen in March) finally dropped enough weight to undergo bariatric surgery
Just last week, Tammy (second from right) was seen standing without her wheelchair in photos shared by her sister – a major feat for the formerly 700-pound woman
The show followed the siblings – who weighed just over 1,000 pounds combined – on their weight loss journey, as they attempted to shed enough pounds to be approved for bariatric surgery.
And while Amy quickly saw success – she dropped from 400 pounds to 275 pounds by the end of season two – Tammy was less triumphant.
An insider said that her new boyfriend, Greg (seen), has already met her sister Amy, as well as her nephews, Gage and Glenn
In fact, by the end of the second season, Tammy’s weight had actually soared to 665 pounds.
But in March, Tammy stunned fans when she showed off a tremendous transformation after shedding nearly 300 pounds – which meant she had finally dropped enough weight to undergo bariatric surgery.
Her turn-around came after she faced a terrifying health scare in November 2021, when she was rushed to the hospital and forced to go on life support after suffering carbon monoxide poisoning.
She suffered from obesity hypoventilation syndrome – a condition that occurs when someone breaths at an abnormally slow rate, which results in too much carbon dioxide and not enough oxygen entering their blood.
