1000-lb Sisters star Amy Slaton sparked engagement speculation as she was seen flashing a glittering ring while in court to face drug and child endangerment charges.
The accessory was slipped onto her ring finger and certainly resembled an engagement ring. It’s unknown who Slaton’s fiancee could be.
She was seen holding hands with Brian Scott Lovvorn, her friend who was arrested with her, as they were released from police custody. Whether or not they are indeed dating has yet to be confirmed.
Slaton has dated two men since finalizing her divorce from ex-husband Michael Halterman last year – Tony Rodgers and Kevin.
Slaton and Halterman share two children and had reportedly clashed over their appearance on the TLC reality show.

The pair welcomed their first child, Gage Deon, in November 2020 and their second son, Glenn Allen, in July 2022.
‘There was no support. There was no love. There was no kindness. There was just mental abuse,’ she told People of their marriage. ‘I just got tired of hiding it from people.’
A confrontation between her, her sisters and Michael was shown on season five of the series.
‘That’s the day I left,’ she said. ‘But I was falling out of love with him before that.’
After a lengthy custody battle, the former couple decided to share parenting duties.
The possible engagement comes amid Slaton’s legal woes.
She appeared in court on Thursday to face drugs and child endangerment charges -days after her arrest at a Tennessee zoo.
Slaton was reportedly bitten by a camel at Tennessee Safari Park in Alamo on Labor Day – but when police were called to the park for the bite they noted ‘suspicious odors’ coming from their vehicle, according to the deputies.

Responding officers discovered ‘what they believed to be mushrooms’ and ‘what they believed to be marijuana’ inside Slaton’s vehicle after smelling marijuana in the car and seeing the drugs out ‘in plain sight.’
Slaton and Lovvorn were arrested and face charges of illegal possession of schedule I, illegal possession of schedule VI and two counts of child endangerment.
Slaton’s two children were in the car at the time of the arrest. Tammy Slaton reportedly picked up the children after the arrest.
Slaton looked stony-faced as she arrived for her arraignment – as her lawyer doubled down on her claim she had been bitten by a camel.

She received medical treatment at the zoo and was pictured being wheeled out of a Tennessee safari park on a stretcher with a bandage around her forearm.
Tennessee Safari Park co-owner Claude Conley, 44, denied Slaton had been bitten, telling The US Sun ‘there is no bruising. She cut her arm on something, it’s not consistent with an animal bite.
‘Her boyfriend or the man she was with was acting crazy, screaming and yelling and all kinds of stuff.
‘He got mad that the police came out there because he just wanted the ambulance to come.’
Attorney Taylor Hughes told TMZ she was definitely attacked by the animal and said Slaton had thanked her fans for sending love and support amid her legal woes.
Slaton and Lovvorn were booked into the Crockett County Jail on on $10,000 bond – with a representative confirming the pair were released on Tuesday.
The representative told the publication: ‘Amy’s brother Chris Combs and Hughes bonding company bonded both of them out together from Crockett County jail and they left with Chris.’
