Tammy Slaton’s other relationships

On 1000-lb Sisters, Slaton dated Sykes. Unfortunately, he was married the whole time they were dating, however, Slaton claimed to have always known he was married.

“Are you aware that I do know he is married and his wife is very sick so you ain’t telling me nothing I don’t know,” Slaton wrote to fans on Twitter.

Sykes later broke up with Slaton. He told TMZ that he left her because he started feeling guilty about cheating on his wife.

Tammy is single now

Recently, Slaton was dating TikTok user “thebbwking.” Things seemed to be going well for the couple for a while as he was in several of her TikToks, but recently Slaton began posting cryptic TikToks about the relationship.

“What happened to my ride or die?” she captioned a recent TikTok. “What happened to my happy ever after? Never there for me.”

“Trust me you don’t want to date me,” a voiceover said in the video. “I’m not a fun person to date. As a friend yes, I’m goofy and I’m loud and I laugh easily. I’m really flirty and probably will smack you too many times and you’ll think I’m hitting on you and all of it will be really really fun and you’ll think ‘Oh I wanna date you.’ But as soon as you date me, you’ll realize, I’m ugly and insecure, full of anger. I don’t trust ever and it’s a lot of work. It’s a lot of work for me and for you, and I can’t promise that by the end of it you’ll think it was worth it.”

Slaton then began crying in the video. She later confirmed that she and thebbwking had broken up.
