1000-Lb Sisters: Chris Combs And Brittany Combs Want To Have A Baby (Will Their Age Gap Be A Problem?)
While the other Slaton siblings haven’t been lucky in love, Chris and Brittany always seemed like they were in a solid relationship. Chris is the patriarch of the Slaton family. He made his television debut alongside his famous sister in 2020. Since then, he and Brittany have become fan favorites. Chris went on his weight-loss journey over the years, and during 1000-lb Sister season 7, Brittany is finally ready to go on her own. A big part of the reason that Brittany wants to lose weight is so she can be healthy enough to have a baby.
Chris & Brittany’s All-American Love Story
They Met At McDonald’s
1000-lb Sisters stars Chris and Brittany met while working at McDonald’s. In 2012, Chris accepted a manager position at the fast food joint and immediately connected with Brittany, a fellow manager. They formed an instant friendship, which later turned romantic. The age gap between them was never an issue. In 2016, Chris proposed, and Brittany said yes.
Chris and Brittany were married on October 15, 2016, four years before 1000-lb Sisters started airing. In October 2023, Chris posted a wedding photo to Instagram with the caption, “Seven year day I say do and wouldn’t change anything about this life journey we are on together.” The post got over 10,000 likes, and fans took to the comment section with anniversary greetings. Chris’s positive attitude and happy-go-lucky approach to weight loss made him a fan favorite.
Though Chris and Brittany have no children together, Chris is a proud grandfather, and in January 2022, he posted a birthday photo to Instagram. In the photo, he and Brittany hold an adorable little boy between them, and they’re all wearing matching birthday shirts that indicate it’s his grandson’s birthday. Though Brittany isn’t the child’s biological grandmother, she’s wearing a shirt that identifies her as the birthday boy’s grandmother. Brittany loves Chris’s children and grandchildren as if they were her own.
Brittany Wants To Have A Baby
She Hasn’t Been Able To Yet
During the premiere of 1000-lb Sisters season 7, a tearful Brittany talked about her reproductive challenges. She says she always wanted to be a mother, but she hasn’t been able to get pregnant. Brittany thinks it’s her weight that’s holding her back from making her dreams of motherhood come true. She tells Chris that she wants to have bariatric surgery so that she can finally be healthy enough to have a baby. By this point, all the other Slatons had the surgery.
Chris Is Much Older Than Brittany
His Baby Would Be Younger Than His Grandchildren
At 44 years of age, Chris is older than the 36-year-old Brittany. Though Chris and Brittany’s age gap never got in the way of their marriage, it may be a problem when it comes to having a baby. At 44 years of age, Chris would be starting all over again. During the premiere episode of 1000-lb Sisters season 7, Chris pointed out that his baby would be younger than his grandchildren. Despite how challenging it is to have a baby now, Chris loves his wife and wants to give her what she wants.
Chasing a baby around isn’t easy, and it only gets more difficult with age. Chris may find that he doesn’t have as much energy as he used to. On the other hand, he has lost a lot of weight, so he may be more energetic now than he was when his children were young. The 1000-lb Sisters season 7 star has changed his life completely over the last few years, and he even ran a 5k since losing weight. Having more children may not be easy for Chris, but it wouldn’t be out of the question.
