Tammy Slaton has shared a loving tribute to late husband Caleb Willingham, months after his death.
The 1000-Lb Sisters star, 37, initially met her former partner while attending a food rehab center and enjoyed a whirlwind romance, before tying the knot last year, with TLC cameras on hand to capture their love story.
They were thought to have gone their separate ways shortly after, with the trailer for the upcoming season five hinting at unrest.
Sadly, Willingham died earlier this year at the age of 40 – before the episodes were aired, with his family confirming the tragic news.
Slaton reflected on their brief romance in a new TikTok post this week, unveiling a poignant sunset design for his urn, which she kept on display surrounded by photos from their time together.
‘The sunset was our thing. We would set outside all afternoon until the sunset,’ she told fans.
‘In this picture is Caleb’s urn.’
In the carousel, set to the track, Love Is Gone, she opened up about his private memorial service, explaining that they released butterflies for the late star during the ceremony.
‘Even though I’m not in love with him but I will always love him and I miss him every day [sic],’ she added on one slide.
‘Things will get better.’
Fans quickly rallied behind the TLC icon in the comments below, reaching out to offer their support in Slaton’s grief.
‘He’s the reason you kept pushing he was your angel in the wrong time,’ one said.
Another penned: ‘I really am sorry. I know it’s not easy. Some days are easier and then it hits you out of the blue that it’s real. You just want them back..’
A follower agreed: ‘You don’t have to be in love with someone to love them and miss them! your strong and you will get through this!’
‘So sorry Tammy. Sending you all the love and healing energy,’ a TikTok user replied.
‘I hope you start healing from this soon. You have been through so much, but you deserve to have peace,’ a commenter agreed.
As a fan added: ‘You will always have a special place for him in you’re heart.. praying for you’re healing from the loss of him [sic].’
Willingham’s stepmother confirmed the news of her loss to TMZ in July, but his cause of death has not yet been confirmed.
Tammy later paid tribute on Instagram, before sobbing in another video, explaining that she was in the various ‘stages of grief’.
‘We were having problems, but I loved that man and I still do,’ she cried. ‘I miss him like crazy, but I wanted to thank everybody for your comments. I appreciate it, I really do.
‘I’m aware that he is looking down on me. He’s not in any pain anymore.
‘I know he’s in a better place.’
