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.
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.
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.
Brittany wants to lose weight so she can have a baby, which brings up memories of how Amy Slaton’s weight-loss journey began. When Sister Wives premiered in 2020, Amy weighed over 400 pounds. She was a newlywed who wanted children, so she had bariatric surgery and quickly lost 125 pounds. Though her doctors asked her not to get pregnant too soon after surgery, Amy disregarded their warnings. She gave birth to two healthy boys, Gage and Glenn Halterman. Brittany hopes to achieve a similar outcome.
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.
“This is the best journey that I’ve ever decided to take and stick with.“
Chris Wants More Surgery Too
“Icing On His Weight Loss Journey’s Cake”
There may be more than one surgery for the Combs household during 1000-lb Sisters season 7. Chris had skin removal surgery during 1000-lb Sisters season 6. While lying in his hospital bed post-surgery, Chris says, “This is the best journey that I’ve ever decided to take and stick with.” Chris was eager to keep up with his grandchildren. The post’s caption reads, “Chris’ skin removal is the icing on his weight loss journey’s cake.” He looked like a new man as he left the hospital after his procedure.
“I’ve still got some areas of opportunity.”
