Following the launch of the new season, Chris returned to social media on on April 17 to interact with fans via his Instagram account, @chris.combs.5243. The caption read:
“What do y’all think of the first episode of the season?”
Alongside this question, he uploaded a promotional photo of Tammy and Amy Slaton. The timing of his online comeback was significant for 1000-Lb Sisters viewers because he posted right after meeting fans in person at VetteCityCon.

What happened in the 1000-Lb Sisters season 7 premiere?
The 1000-Lb Sisters season 7 premiere included several developments in the lives of the Slaton family members. Amy Slaton introduced her new boyfriend, Bryan Scott Lovvorn, whom she met at a concert.
According to Amy, they met in a mosh pit, went out for tacos afterward, and have been together since. “He was talking about me getting my tubes untied,” Amy said to her sister Amanda, referring to plans about having another child. Amanda expressed concern, telling Amy to take a cold shower and asking her to reconsider moving too quickly in a new relationship.
Meanwhile, Tammy opened up about her own private relationship. Toward the end of the episode, Tammy was shown sneaking into a minivan, saying:
“There’s something I haven’t told my family,” before adding, “I’ve been seeing someone for the past couple months and it’s going pretty well. The person I’m dating is a woman.”
This storyline marked the continuation of Tammy’s journey following the death of her husband, Caleb Willingham, in July 2023.
The premiere of 1000-Lb Sisters also revisited Tammy’s ongoing goal of undergoing skin removal surgery. Although she has lost over 500 pounds since appearing on the show, her doctors refused to proceed with the operation due to her continued use of nicotine. This refusal led to further complications in her progress, as shown in her consultations during the episode.
Amanda Halterman, another sibling featured on 1000-Lb Sisters, was shown moving in with Amy after her previous relationship with RJ ended. She had planned to relocate to Florida but returned to Kentucky when the relationship failed. Now living with Amy and her two sons, Gage and Glenn, Amanda made a new boyfriend, Leonard Moore, but it’s unclear whether he would appear in the current season.
Meanwhile, Chris Combs dealt with the aftermath of his own skin removal surgery, which was first shown in season 6. After losing over 150 pounds, Chris qualified for the procedure and underwent surgery to remove excess skin from his stomach.
In 1000-Lb Sisters season 7, Chris considered another procedure to remove the skin around his chest. Although the first surgery was painful, he would now evaluate whether a second attempt might help improve his mobility and comfort.
1000-Lb Sisters continues to air weekly on TLC, with fans tuning in to see the latest challenges, achievements, and surprises in the lives of the Slaton siblings.
