Speaking of her late husband Caleb Willingham, Tammy said, "It's almost been a year since Caleb passed. I think I'm ready to start looking for somebody." Soon after, Chris tells his sister that he wants her to be with a man who treats her well. “Lately I've been feeling like it's time for me to start moving on and to start seeking love again, but this time I'm thinking of seeing a female. As it stands right now, I don't want to be with another man. It just doesn't feel right. I don't even have those feelings for a guy anymore after Caleb passed," she shared in a private confessional.
