In a statement to People magazine, Slaton said her husband died on July 1, 2023.
“I am devastated to share the news of my husband’s passing,” Slaton shared. “He was my best friend and I loved him dearly. When I met Caleb he became my guardian angel and now he really is watching over me.”
The two had tied the knot just six months earlier.
Caleb’s stepmother Shirley Willingham confirmed his passing to TMZ, but did not disclose the cause of death.
1000-lb Sisters follows the lives of Amy and Tammy Slaton, whose combined weight is over 1,000 pounds. The show chronicles the Slatons’ efforts to lose weight and get bariatric surgery.

Their wedding took place at the facility and was televised on the show’s season 4 finale.
The episode titled “Apple of My Eye” showed Caleb shedding tears as Tammy made her way down the aisle.
Tammy called the wedding “magical.”
Caleb added in the episode, “When I finally see her, my heart explodes.”
