Tammy Slaton, one of the stars of TLC’s 1000-lb Sisters, has opened up about her love life in the seventh series of the hit reality show, which she stars in alongside her sister
TLC’s very own Tammy Slaton from the hit show 1000-lb Sisters has dropped a love life bombshell – she’s dating a woman, three years on from her hubby’s passing.
The reality TV sensation, 38, will be starring in the upcoming seventh series, where viewers have watched her shed an incredible 500 pounds with her sister Amy by her side.
Tammy teases that it’s not just Amy who’s got a new beau, confessing to fans: “There’s something I haven’t told my family. Amy’s not the only one that’s been seeing somebody new. So have I…I have been seeing someone for the past couple months and it’s going pretty well.”
She then reveals: “The person I’m dating is a woman. So I haven’t told my family because my family’s gonna have something to say about it. I think my family probably has more opinions than the world has a**holes because they be farting so much.”
Having previously come out as pansexual, Tammy admits she hasn’t been romantically involved with anyone since her husband, Caleb Wilingham, whom she wed in November 2022, passed away.
She opens up about her change of heart towards relationships, stating: “A few years ago I came out as pansexual but after Caleb passing, I just don’t want to be with men anymore.”, reports the Mirror.
However, she confessed her uncertainty about how her family will react to her dating a woman, reiterating: “I don’t know how my family is going to react when I tell them I’m seeing a woman.”
Tammy’s husband tragically passed away just seven months into their marriage from unknown causes at the age of 40. Recalling the devastating moment she learnt of his death, the TV personality revealed to People magazine that she was informed via text by one of Caleb’s friends that he was in a bad way – only to be told 20 minutes later that he had died.
She detailed that while Caleb was at the Ohio Rehab facility and she was in Kentucky, she received the message: “I was sitting in the fetal position.
“I got a text message from his friend up there and the text said: ‘Caleb’s not doing good. They’re in there working on him.’ 20 minutes later he texted me back and said he was gone.”
The TLC star also shared that she has been coping ‘fairly well’ since the tragic event, even creating a ring and a necklace shaped like a musical note using her late husband’s ashes.
She explained that the jewellery brings her closer to Caleb, stating: “He’s going to live on now forever because his memory is encapsulated.”
Tammy finds solace in re-watching old episodes of 1000-lb Sisters, where Caleb made appearances, concluding: “Every time I miss him, I can always look back at the show and watch it and see what made me happy again.”
