However, reports from the US Sun suggest that Tammy was contemplating divorce in May, just months before Caleb's passing, allegedly due to concerns about his health. The source claimed that Tammy felt he had deviated from his diet and gained 30 pounds, making it challenging for her to envision taking care of him post-rehabilitation. According to the source, Tammy sought a partner who could support her, and with Caleb's declining health, she was faced with the prospect of taking on the care of another person when she was already dealing with her own health challenges.
