Tammy Slaton has apologised after seemingly splitting from her 'new girlfriend' days after going public and declaring she's "like a lesbian".
The 1000-lb Sisters star shocked TLC fans when she opened up about her sexuality following the death of her husband Caleb Willingham. Earlier this month, she updated her Facebook profile to being in a relationship, sharing the news on January 6.
But less than two weeks later, it appears the pair have already broken up and Tammy has since updated her TikTok bio to read "it was my fault, and I'm truly sorry". Fans flocked to Reddit to confirm the news, with one writing: "It's all over, already."

Tammy's husband Caleb died in July last year (TLC / 1000-lb Sisters)"I’m fairly certain they’ve already broke up," wrote one user underneath the announcement Tammy was in a relationship, six months after the passing of her husband Caleb. "They've already split up," another account commented.

Tammy's rumoured relationship comes after she reflected on her love life, proudly displaying the LGBTQ+ pride and transgender flags online. After fans quizzed the reality TV star about the emojis, Tammy told followers she was a "supporter of everybody".
She posed up a storm in her latest TikTok video, responding to one follower who asked the 37-year-old if she was transgender after sharing the flag. "No, I'm not trans. I'm just a supporter of everybody. I was saying I was pansexual," she explained in the new clip.
Tammy said: "I kinda stopped messing with guys after my husband passed. So, I’m like a lesbian. I was just showing support. I'm not a hater. Love is love. Everybody deserves love whether they're gay, straight, trans, pan, bi, nonbinary, whatever. I’m just a lover."
It was only last month, in December last year, that Tammy revealed she found out her husband Caleb had died over text. She met him at the Windsor Lane Rehabilitation Center in Gibsonburg, Ohio. Both Tammy and Caleb were in the rehab centre for weight loss, and just a few months after meeting, they announced their engagement.
They tied the knot in a ceremony at the rehab centre in November 2022, surrounded by just 30 friends and family members, and the nuptials were officiated by their home care nurse and close friend Billy. But just seven months later, Caleb died at the age of 40.
In a new interview, she revealed she had left the facility to continue her weight loss journey at home in Kentucky, and Caleb had stayed behind. Tammy was then informed by a mutual friend that her husband’s health had taken a turn for the worse, and he was gravely ill.
"I was sitting in the foetal position. I got a text message from his friend up there and the text said, 'Caleb's not doing good. They're in there working on him.' 20 minutes later he texted me back and said he was gone," she told PEOPLE Magazine last year.
