Their two-year-old son, Gage, was born on November 10, 2020, just months after Amy underwent vital gastric band surgery to reduce her weight.
On July 5, 2022, Amy and Michael welcomed their second son Glenn.
SISTER SALARIES
Along with fighting with her husband, Amy has also been at odds with producers.
Previously, The U.S. Sun revealed the cast of 1,000-Lb Sisters - including Amy, her sister Tammy, their half-brother Chris Combs, and their half-sister Amanda - feel they could be making more money if they left their current production network's contract.
Tensions have been high between the Slaton family and producers, as they've been arguing over salaries and the narrative of the show, according to an insider.
The source claimed Tammy and her family are in talks with another production company to start filming a spin-off show.
Presently, Tammy takes up most of the screen time in recent seasons, and a source close to the Slaton family has shared she only makes around $2,000 to $3,000 per episode.
The insider also claimed Tammy spent all of her earnings from the show paying for her 14 months of weight rehab without financial support from the producers.
Meanwhile, Tammy's half-sister Amanda - who joined the cast during season three - allegedly only takes in about $700 a month for her appearances on the show, according to the source.
CASHING IN
The 1000-Lb Sisters insider said Amy makes the most on the show because both of her sons Gage and Glenn have contracts.
Although according to the source, the kids' cash isn't going into Amy's pocket: she has the funds set up in trusts to go toward her boys' college tuition.
On top of the small salaries, the family also feels producers aren't telling their story truthfully.

The insider close to the TLC stars claims every time a cast member attempts to have a "serious conversation" on the show, the producers edit it out.
Everyone in season four Part A - including Tammy's husband Caleb - has signed contracts to film Part B and can't accept any other commercial opportunities in the meantime.
