Amanda Was Married To Jason Halterman For 22 Years
Amanda Has Four Kids With Jason
Amanda, 44, was married to Jason Halterman for 22 years. The couple welcomed four children together, all boys. However, they divorced in 2020, and Amanda has not spoken out publicly about the nature of their split. However, she did say that it was amicable.
Jason is the brother of Michael Halterman, who is Amy's ex-husband.
Amanda always had harsh criticisms of Michael and almost got into a physical brush with him at one point.
Amanda's four boys are all grown, which means she and Jason started having kids young. It's unclear how the parents split their time with their kids when they were minors, but now that their children are adults, it's not a concern. Amanda remained single for a few years after her divorce, but got back on the dating wagon. She is known to be sassy with her flirtations, and she often has funny things to say when speaking about dating.

Amanda Is In A Relationship With Leonard Moore
Amanda Seems All In, But 1000-Lb Sisters Fans Are Skeptical
In early 2025, Amanda introduced her new man, Leonard Moore, 41, to fans. Leonard is supposedly the “Strategist for Amanda Halterman of 1000-lb Sisters” according to his LinkedIn, so the pair share a romantic and working relationship. Amanda frequently posts shared posts with Leonard on Instagram, where Leonard is often spouting something motivational. However, he has not been received well by fans, who think he may be using Amanda for a platform.
"And what are your successes, that would make Amanda, or any other person believe in your words. Minus the cussing. I’m not impressed based on first impressions," one person wrote in the comments of a t post.
"What is it that you do… I mean all day? I mean besides 'manage' Amanda. If you’re going to be a motivational speaker, you should show a little motivation. And lose the Sean John shirt," wrote another.
Leonard has yet to make an appearance in 1000-lb Sisters season 7, but it's unlikely he will as their relationship is still new and season 7 was likely filmed in complete before Amanda and Leonard started dating.
