Tammy Slaton recently had an emotional breakdown while talking to fans on TikTok. The "1000-Lb. Sisters" star spoke about the recent death of her husband, Caleb Willingham. She explained that she decided to share her grief on social media after seeing fan comments that "touched her heart."

As she held back tears in the video, Slaton spoke about her feelings of loss. She said, "I hate getting on here and letting everybody see me like this. I'm in the stages of grief. Yeah, we were having problems, but I loved that man and I still do."

In the video, Slaton said she wasn't going to share any details of Willingham's passing, noting that it is "really personal" for her. She said, "No offense, but it's really personal. I miss him like crazy, but I wanted to thank everybody for — I'm sorry — thank everybody for their comments."

The video received hundreds of supportive comments for Slaton. One such comment read, "Sending prayers for you, Tammy. Crying is not a sign of weakness. It's a sign that part of your heart is no longer here. Hold the good memories."

Slaton replied directly to one of her fans and followers, who shared a supportive comment. It read, "Tammy, Jesus will be with you every step of the way, holding you tight [through] this difficult time [you're] going through. Be strong."

In her video response, Slaton opened up about how the person's message inspired her to make the TikTok post. She captioned the video, "I'm sorry I'm crying, but just because I'm crying doesn't mean I'm not strong, I've got this."

In the video itself, she said, "It touched my heart. I'm aware he's looking down on me. I know he's not in pain anymore. I know he's in a better place. I love you all from the bottom of my heart. Believe it or not, he really loved you all, too."

Supportive comments poured in after Slaton posted this video. One such comment read, "He's in a place with no pain on his body. You showed him happiness. I'm so sorry for your loss." More fans sent in messages sharing their condolences for her loss.

Willingham hardly featured on Slaton and her sister Amy's "1,000-Lb Sisters" reality show. But despite his rare appearances, Willingham was a beloved character by fans, with the nickname "Killa K" or "Double K." He and the reality TV star first met while they both stayed at a weight loss rehab clinic in Ohio. Slaton was there for treatment to qualify for weight-loss surgery measures.

Willingham eventually popped the question in October 2022, and they got married about a month later. During an interview with People Magazine earlier this year, the reality TV star spoke about their wedding and marriage.

She said, "Our wedding day was perfect, there was so much love in the room. I literally married my best friend. I love waking up every morning and seeing his face. And seeing his face every night before going to bed."

According to a report from The Sun, Slaton separated from Willingham in May because he allegedly wasn't "following his diet in rehab." The reality tv star has yet to address the reports about their marriage ending before he passed.
