<h3 style="text-align: center;">Tammy Slaton Says Deceased Husband Is Now Her &#8216;Guardian Angel&#8217;</h3>
<p>Like Tammy Slaton, Caleb also struggled with <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/post-malone-reacts-weight-loss-drugs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">weight loss</a> over the years. In fact, the couple met in 2022 at Windsor Lane Rehabilitation Center while undergoing obesity treatment. TLC has documented Tammy and her sister Amy Slaton&#8217;s weight loss journey over the course of four seasons.</p>
<p>After falling in love, Caleb Willingham proposed to Tammy in October. One month later, in November, they married at the Gibsonburg, Ohio, rehab facility. According to <em>PEOPLE</em>, the couple had <a href="https://people.com/health/1000-lb-sisters-tammy-slaton-newlywed-life-husband-caleb/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">30 family members</a> and friends at the &#8220;small celebration.&#8221; The union aired on &#8220;1000-Lb. Sisters.&#8221;</p>
<p>She later told <em>PEOPLE, </em><strong><em>&#8220;I love waking up every morning and seeing his face. And seeing his face every night before going to bed.&#8221; </em></strong></p>

<p>Caleb&#8217;s passing comes following <a href="https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/8010144/1000-lb-sisters-tammy-slaton-splits-husband-caleb-willingham/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a May report</a> from <em>The Sun </em>about the couple allegedly splitting up. The outlet reported that the separation was sparked by Willingham&#8217;s alleged troubles with following his restricted diet. Tammy was allegedly in the process of filing for divorce.</p>
<p>But in her official statement about his death, Tammy Slaton focused on her love for her husband.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;When I met Caleb he became my guardian angel, and now he really is watching over me. Our families appreciate everyone&#8217;s sympathy and ask that you respect our privacy at this time,&#8221; she stated.</p></blockquote>
<p>In a video posted to her TikTok account, Slaton did confirm that they were &#8220;having problems.&#8221; However, through sobs, she affirmed her love for Caleb and refused to detail his passing.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;&#8230;I&#8217;m in stages of grief. Yeah, we were having problems, but I loved that man, and I still do. I miss him like crazy, but I wanted to thank everybody for&#8230;your comments. I appreciate them, I really do. We&#8217;re not gon get into details about what happened. I think that no offense, but it&#8217;s really personal.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
