STURGIS, KENTUCKY: '1000-lb SIsters' Season 5 star Tammy Slaton recently revealed her sexuality.

In a new TikTok video, Tammy revealed she is lesbian and had stopped texting guys following the death of her husband, Caleb Willingham.

Tammy shared a video on TikTok and responded to a follower who asked if the reality star was transgender.

The reality star responded to her followers, "No, I'm not trans. I’m just a supporter of everybody."

She explained, "I was saying I was pansexual but I kinda stopped messing with guys after my husband passed."

Tammy noted, "So, I'm like a lesbian," adding, "I was just showing support. I'm not a hater. Love is love."

The reality star elaborated, "Everybody deserves love whether they're gay, straight, trans, pan, bi, nonbinary, whatever. I'm just a lover."

The follower's question sparked a frenzy after Tammy previously posted a video using emojis for the Pride flag and transgender flag in her caption.

Meanwhile, Tammy referred to her late husband Caleb, whom she met at Windsor Lane Rehabilitation Center in Gibsonburg, Ohio while she was there working on her weight loss journey. Caleb and Tammy fell in love and quickly married in November 2022.

Tammy previously came out as pansexual back in 2021 when she was in a two-year relationship with her ex-boyfriend Jerry.

During an episode of the TLC show, Tammy came out to Jerry at a restaurant. She told her ex-beau, "It means love is love. I would date anybody whether they're transgender, straight, gay."

How did Tammy Slaton's husband Caleb Willingham die?

Tammy Slaton's husband Caleb Willingham died from a natural death allegedly caused by a medical issue on June 30, 2023. Tammy lost her husband just seven months after she got married to Caleb in the rehab facility.

The reality star was at her home in Kentucky when she received a devastating message.

In an interview with People, Tammy revealed that she was 'sitting in the fetal position' when she got a text message from Caleb's friend saying, 'up there.'

The text said, "Caleb's not doing good. They're in there working on him."

However, Tammy received another text after 20 minutes which revealed Caleb was gone.

Tammy admitted to being in love with Caleb and she had two pieces of jewelry, a ring and a musical note-shaped necklace, created out of Caleb's ashes.
