When Did 1000-Lb. Sisters’ Amanda Halterman Meet RJ?

While the exact timeline of their relationship is unclear, Amanda seemingly met RJ in early 2023. She debuted her new boyfriend on TikTok that February, sharing a now-deleted photo of him kissing the back of her head on a beach.

What Happened to 1000-Lb. Sisters’ Amanda Halterman and RJ?

Despite falling head over heels in love with RJ and moving across state lines to be with him, Amanda claimed in a May 2024 TikTok video that her beau had ghosted her.

“So, this is the post that I have dreaded to make,” she explained in the May 31, 2024, post. “I haven’t seen RJ since May 1. He left to go see his family and I come to Kentucky to finish working. He was supposed to be here on, like, the 24th or the 25th, never showed up. I texted, I called, even tried to contact the family members that I had numbers [for] and nobody responded. And no contact since.”

“Ya girl got ghosted,” Amanda continued with a laugh. “Wasn’t the first time. I forgave him the first time.”

The mom of four kept a positive attitude, noting that “it is what it is” and declaring that she was single again. She also confirmed that she had moved back to Kentucky and was living with sister Amy Slaton, although she admitted that she “missed” the life she had in Florida.

“God has a reason for me to be here,” she added. “Ya girl is single. I’m not sure I’m ready to mingle. I don’t know that I’ll ever be the same after this, and I’m not sure what to do with all of the memories, the pictures, all of those things.”

Amanda concluded, “I’m OK with being the person who needs help right now. … I’m also OK with being by myself.”

A fan asked, “You’re back in Kentucky, are ya single? Are ya visiting or officially back?”

Amanda replied, “I am officially back for a short time and am not single. In a happy healthy relationship.”

Many fans speculated that Amanda hard launched her new boyfriend via Instagram on New Year’s Day 2025. The reality TV star shared a compilation video of photos from her celebration, including a snap with a man who had his arm around her shoulder. Another photo showed her posing alongside the mystery man with her hand on his chest. She tagged his profile in the post, revealing his name to be Leonard Moore.

Though Amanda did not confirm if Leonard was her new beau, she liked a comment asking, “Is that the new boo?”
