Both parties now face charges of Schedule 1 and Schedule VI substance possession and two counts of child endangerment.

Their divorce was finalized in September 2023 after a six-month court battle which ended with them agreeing on split custody of their kids. 

Amy has spoken about her passion for motherhood on the show and after her youngest child was born, she said: "My heart is full. Being a mom is what I've wanted to do since I was five years old and I've always wanted two kids. Our family is finally complete. We can put us in a frame and hang us on the wall now."

When Amy and Tammy started the show, they had a combined weight of over 1000lbs. 

While Tammy has lost a staggering 440lbs, Amy said last year she wasn't focused as much on her weight loss. 

She has lost 176lbs bt told People she's prioritizing her mental health and caring for her children. 

“You can't have weight loss without mental health," she said. 

Of her marriage, she added: "There was no support. There was no love. There was no kindness. There was just mental abuse."
