RINGGOLD, GEORGIA: '1000-lb Best Friends' Season 3 viewers are introduced to Tina Senter as she grapples with marital challenges alongside her husband, Matt Senter. Originally from Walnut Creek, California, Matt now lives in Ringgold, Georgia, where he supports Tina through her journey. He works at Oroweat Baking and is known for his love of animals, frequently sharing adorable glimpses of their furry companion on social media.

Having been married for nearly a decade, the couple is facing some serious turbulence in their relationship. In a revealing preview of an upcoming episode, Tina opens up about the fact that they haven't been intimate for the past two years. Instead of seeking solutions or addressing the emotional factors at play, Tina finds herself placing the blame on her recent weight gain, suggesting that it is the primary cause of their struggles. This raises questions about the deeper dynamics of their relationship and whether Tina is avoiding confronting the real problems that may be affecting their bond. As the season unfolds, it remains to be seen whether Tina and Matt will find a way to navigate these challenges together, or if the rift between them will continue to widen.
