In a recent video shared by TLC, the couple reminisced about the proposal, which occurred during a horseback riding excursion—a unique backdrop that Slaton found deeply meaningful. After previously mentioning their engagement in a podcast last year, Slaton has now revealed more details about this milestone moment.
Reflecting on the engagement ring, Slaton expressed her affection, stating, “I love my ring.” Dalton, who chose the ring with her partner’s tastes in mind, described it as featuring a stunning princess-cut multicolour stone surrounded by a meticulously crafted halo. “She likes all of those colours, so I was like, ‘Yeah, this is perfect,’” Dalton explained.
During their discussion, Dalton light-heartedly mentioned the unusual circumstances of the proposal, admitting that she was unable to get down on one knee fully. Despite this, she remained positive, affirming that the moment was unforgettable. “The moment was great—it was for me—but I couldn’t get down on one knee all the way,” she remarked. Slaton, however, dismissed any disappointment, insisting that the experience was still quite special to her. “It was amazing… it was perfect,” she added.
As the couple looks to the future, Slaton expressed her enthusiasm for their life together, describing their everyday experiences as “a new adventure.” “I’m just looking forward to tomorrow and the next day and living life with her and Kamala, our cat,” she said, capturing the essence of their growing bond.
Dalton echoed this excitement, noting their ambitions for creating cherished memories as a small family unit. “All three of us together, we’re a little family,” she stated, highlighting the inclusive nature of their relationship.
The couple’s journey and their engagement will be featured in upcoming episodes of *1000-Lb. Sisters*, allowing fans to witness their love story unfold on-screen. Slaton first disclosed her engagement to Dalton during an episode of the Creative Chaos podcast in June 2025. In a casual conversation about her life outside filming, Slaton used the term “fiancée,” which prompted a surprise reaction from host Hunter Ezell.
Fans were introduced to Dalton during the show’s seventh season, where they witnessed her romance with Slaton bloom, beginning with their initial bowling date to the challenges Slaton faced in disclosing her relationship with her family. “I think I want to approach this relationship different than I have in the past,” Slaton mentioned, voicing concerns over her family’s potential reaction.
Fortunately, her loved ones were supportive. Slaton’s sister, Amanda Halterman, reassured her, “If she makes you happy… that’s all we want for each other is just to be happy.” Other family members echoed similar sentiments, affirming their desire for Slaton’s happiness in her new relationship.
The couple first connected on a dating app, quickly developing a strong bond marked by daily conversations. This relationship signifies a new chapter for Slaton, following the passing of her husband, Caleb Willingham, in July 2023. Slaton publicly identified as pansexual in 2021, stating on *1000-Lb. Sisters*, “love is love,” and expressing her openness to various forms of love based on emotional connection rather than appearance.
As Tammy Slaton and Andrea Dalton prepare to showcase their evolving relationship to the world, their story resonates with viewers, illustrating the power of love and acceptance in its many forms.
