Was Tammy Slaton married before?
Yes, Tammy was previously married to Caleb Willingham. In 2022, Tammy and Caleb met in a rehabilitation center in Ohio. After just three weeks of dating, Caleb proposed. They got married in November 2022 in a televised wedding.
“When I saw Caleb at the altar, I was just picturing doves and butterflies all around, like God had opened up the clouds and let the sunlight in,” Tammy said during the wedding episode. “It was magical.”
On July 1, 2023, Tammy announced that Caleb had died at the age of 40. “I am devastated to share the news of my husband’s passing,” Slaton said in a statement at the time. “He was my best friend, and I loved him dearly. When I met Caleb, he became my guardian angel, and now he really is watching over me.” His cause of death was determined to be “natural causes” due to “complications of super morbid obesity.”
