A recent report claimed that the couple had split because Caleb refused to “stick to [his] diet.” A source close to Tammy told US Sun in May that the reality star has her legal team ready to file for divorce.
“They broke up because Caleb wasn’t following his diet in rehab,” the source claimed, adding, “He’s put on 30 pounds and hasn’t been on his program.”
The insider also claims that Tammy and Caleb “had a huge fight about it and she told him she wanted a divorce, but then she tried to back out.”
According to the news outlet, Tammy’s sisters, Amy and Amanda Slaton, supported Caleb divorcing her, saying it was the best thing for him.
The source added, “He wants someone who can be there for him, and his health continues to decline. He needs to take care of her once he gets out of rehab, and that’s him taking care of other people when he can barely take care of himself, so the relationship isn’t useful.”
