Caleb Willingham has finally addressed the breakup rumors surrounding him and his wife, 1000-Lb. Sisters star Tammy Slaton.
In a now-deleted post from his personal Facebook account, Caleb— who married Tammy in November 2022—seemingly informed his Facebook friends that he and Tammy have split, and that the breakup was Tammy’s decision, not his.
“If you were only here for my wife, then please delete me now,” Caleb wrote in the post, which was captured via screenshot by a Reddit user. “We are married by paper only right now.”
Caleb went on to tell his friends that he was not the one who wanted to split, and that he is very upset about his breakup with Tammy.
“[It was] her decision, not mine. It was more than that,” Caleb wrote. “I’m hurt, mad, confused and alone even with others around. Thank you for your love, prayer and support.”
Caleb likely deleted the post due to the fact that he is under contract for “1000-Lb. Sisters.”
As The Ashley previously reported, Caleb and Tammy tied the knot on November 19 in a small ceremony held inside the Ohio rehabilitation center where they met when they were both patients there. Tammy and Caleb got engaged in the parking lot of the facility.
The newly married couple began experiencing problems almost immediately after their wedding, as Tammy completed her treatment in February and moved back to Kentucky, leaving Caleb at the Ohio weight loss center. He had planned to transfer to a facility in Kentucky to be near Tammy, but he did not make the move. This reportedly caused a lot of tension for the couple.
Fans of the show began to theorize that Caleb and Tammy had split when Tammy removed “Willingham” from her name on her social media accounts. (Caleb’s personal Facebook still states that he and Tammy are married.)
Tammy and Caleb aren’t the only couple from the show to recently split. Tammy sister, Amy and her husband Michael Halterman are currently in the middle of what has been a contentious divorce. They are due back in court next month to continue their custody and divorce proceedings.
Tammy has not publicly commented on the rumors that she and Caleb have split.

Not shocking they rushed into a marriage. He was all kind of red flags anyways when he announced he moved to her facility to meet her. Creepy stalker vibes right there Tammy! I think the main issue Tammy has is self confidence, she doesn’t love herself & when someone like Caleb comes along saying & doing all these ‘right’ things she takes that wee bit of love & runs with it. Anytime she’s sat down with a therapist she’s immediately on guard. If she took the time to speak with these people she might just get to the root of the self confidence thing. She deserves a relationship she is truly happy in, but until she learns to love & accept herself for who she is, warts & all, every relationship will be defined by her own issues.
This isn’t shocking that their marriage fell apart. They only knew each inside the walls of rehab. This is why her family warned her it was too soon to get married. What was the harm in continuing to date? If they had, they wouldn’t have to worry about a divorce right now.
‘o’
Insert a shocked face….said no one, anywhere.
She thought she would gain a lot more from that “marriage”, I mean, aside from more weight when she gives up again and “does what she wants”-now that she’s gotten the state of Ohio to pay for it all.
I hope he moves on to find someone that actually cares for him once he gets his life and health in check the way it should be (which should be his ONLY focus).
Tammy can go kick rocks. She deserves whatever disasters befall her at this point.
Lol. Two people who met in Rehab didn’t make it. >shocked Pikachu face<
Yeah, this is why most rehab prohibits relationships. It's not healthy for recovery. Normally, you don't even know the person you met, you're only bonding thing, its the addiction you're trying to get rid off. Most of the time you will enable each other.
Now that Tammy got the surgery, and has lost weight, she probably thinks she can do better than him. I do hope she's now brushing her tooth, at least once a day.
Smh at both of them. I actually was hoping for this to work.
