1000-lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton’s husband has passed away aged 40.
Tammy, 36, and her estranged husband, Caleb Willingham, first met at a weight loss rehabilitation facility in Ohio back in 2022 and got married in November of that year, only a month after he proposed.
Shirley Willingham, Caleb's stepmum, has confirmed his death to TMZ, but did not share any further details on the matter.

At the time of the wedding, the lovebirds described the special day as 'magical' with Tammy previously telling People: "Our wedding day was perfect, there was so much love in the room.
"I literally married my best friend."
Tammy revealed: "I was so nervous sitting in the chair, getting my hair done and my makeup done, seeing my family all dressed for my wedding.
"My brother pushing me down the aisle, seeing all my friends and family just looking their best. And then, seeing my husband and seeing how handsome he looked. It stopped my heart.
“And then the ceremony! Awesome! Everything! The vows my husband said. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding. Then the kiss sealed the deal - that was my husband!"
The romance was short-lived, however, as it was reported by The U.S. Sun that the couple parted ways in May.
Caleb's brother has since shared a message to Facebook on the matter.
It begins: "I can't believe I'm even making this post, but today GOD called my big brother home."
The tribute continued: "R.I.P. Caleb Willingham aka Killla K aka Double K aka one half of the dynamic WWF tag team champions The W Boys aka my biggest supporter in anything I do."
"You will be forever loved and missed," he concluded. "Until we meet again."
Caleb's friends, family and fans have since left heartfelt messages below the Facebook post.
One wrote: "Condolences to you and the family for the loss of Caleb. He'll be missed by many. Rest easy, Big KK."
A second penned: "Praying for you and your family. Rest in heaven Caleb Willingham."
"I still can't believe it's real. I've been crying all day. I already miss him so much," posted another. "I know he's up there rejoicing with your mom and pop, though, and I have to be happy for him for that."
A fourth offered: "Omg. Prayers to you, Tammy, and all his friends and family."
A 1000-lb Sisters fan page also took to Facebook to offer their own tribute post: "Rest in eternal peace, Caleb Willingham. My sincere condolences to Tammy, your family, and Caleb's family."
