Who Is Tammy Slaton’s Husband, Caleb Willingham?

The couple got engaged in October 2022, a source told The Sun in November. Their engagement later played out during a March 2023 episode of 1000-Lb. Sisters.
“So today, I decided I’d set up a little something for Tammy,” Caleb said in a confessional, according to a teaser clip shared by People. “I’m rounding everyone up — our friends, even the staff — and at this point she knows something’s up because why is she in the parking lot? She starts shaking a little bit and turning red and doing everything that’s absolutely adorable to me about her.”
In the scene, Caleb proposed to Tammy outside of the rehab facility they stayed in.
“So, it’s just been a short time, but I know without a doubt you are the most beautiful, amazing wonderful person I’ve ever known. Will you marry me?” he said to Tammy before sliding a ring on her finger.
Now that the couple are husband and wife, Caleb reportedly plans to move to Kentucky with Tammy when they leave the rehab facility.
