Who Is Caleb Willingham

Caleb Willingham, who affectionately went by the nicknames “Double K” or “Killa K,” left an indelible mark during his brief but impactful appearance on 1000-Lb. Sisters. Fans were treated to a special episode dedicated to documenting the heartwarming union between Caleb and Tammy, as they exchanged vows on their wedding day in November 2022. Though his time on the show was limited, Caleb’s presence and the love he shared with Tammy will forever be etched in the memories of viewers.

How Did Caleb Willingham and Tammy Slaton Meet

Tammy and Caleb’s remarkable love story unfolded unexpectedly within the walls of the Windsor Lane Rehabilitation Center in Gibsonburg, Ohio. It was just last year when their paths crossed, and a deep connection began to form. Little did they know that their encounter would blossom into something extraordinary.

After a whirlwind romance, Caleb proposed to Tammy in October 2022, solidifying their commitment to one another. The couple chose to exchange vows in an intimate ceremony the following month, choosing the comfort and familiarity of the rehabilitation center as the backdrop for their special day.

Tammy fondly reminisced about the extraordinary wedding ceremony she shared with Caleb Willingham. In the episode, she described the event as an unforgettable experience, filled with heartfelt moments and cherished memories. The couple’s wedding was made even more special by the presence of their dear friend and nurse, Billy, who took on the role of officiant. “When I saw Caleb at the altar, I was just picturing doves and butterflies all around, like God had opened up the clouds and let the sunlight in,” she said. “It was magical.”

Why Did Tammy Slaton and Caleb Willingham Breakup

However, their relationship took a significant downturn in April 2023. According to the U.S. Sun, Tammy Slaton and Caleb Willingham had officially separated earlier this year. An insider explained that Tammy was in the process of filing for divorce at the time of Caleb’s tragic passing.

According to the outlet, Tammy, 36, made the difficult decision to part ways with her husband due to his lapse in commitment to his weight loss program, resulting in weight gain. The source revealed that this was a significant factor in their separation.

“Tammy has her legal team lined up and is ready to file for divorce,” the informant close to the 1000-Lb Sisters star told the site.

“They split up because Caleb hasn’t been following his diet in rehab,” the insider alleged, adding: “He has gained 30 pounds and hasn’t been working his program.”

“They got into a big fight over it and he told her he wanted a divorce, but then he tried to backtrack,” they claimed.

Despite Caleb’s attempts to salvage his marriage following their falling out, apparently his efforts came too late. The situation had reached a point where Tammy’s sisters — Amy and Amanda had already started advising her to end the relationship.

Caleb Willingham’s Cause of Death

While Caleb’s family and wife have not disclosed his cause of death, it’s logical to surmise his untimely passing was a direct result of his obesity. Upon Caleb’s admission to the Windsor Lane Rehabilitation Center’s obesity clinic, his weight exceeded 700 pounds, necessitating the use of intubation and an oxygen tank for him to breathe. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), obesity is  the leading causes of death — including deaths from diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and some types of cancer.
