During a December 2023 episode of the show, Slaton opened up about the reasons behind her separation from Halterman. She revealed that she had repeatedly warned him that if he did not change his behavior, she would leave.
One of the major issues in their relationship was Halterman’s reluctance to take care of both of their children simultaneously. Slaton expressed frustration over his apparent inability to watch their children without being distracted by video games.
