‘I think my family probably has more opinions than the world has a**holes because they be farting so much.’

This is Tammy’s first relationship since the death of her husband, Caleb Wilingham, who she married in November 2022.

‘A few years ago I came out as panSєxual but after Caleb pᴀssing, I just don’t want to be with men anymore,’ Tammy said later in the preview clip.

‘I don’t know how my family is going to react when I tell them I’m seeing a woman.’

Tammy’s husband Caleb died from unknown causes at age 40 –  just seven months after the couple tied the knot in November 2022.

Last year Tammy opened up about the moment she found out that Caleb had pᴀssed away.

During an interview with People, Tammy revealed a friend of Caleb’s told her over text message that her husband wasn’t doing well – before he informed her just 20 minutes later that he had died.

At the time, Tammy was at her home in Kentucky and Caleb was at the Ohio rehab facility she had previously been at with him.

‘I was sitting in the fetal position,’ she told the publication. 

‘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.’

The TLC star also said she had been ‘doing fairly well’ getting through the tragedy, and had even made a ring and musical note-shaped necklace with the ashes of her late husband.

She had grown attached to the jewelry and finds comfort knowing a piece of him remains with her.

‘He’s going to live on now forever because his memory is encapsulated,’ Tammy said.

‘Knowing that he’s with me, it’s helping me pᴀss the day. I find myself grabbing my necklace and holding it a lot. When I take off my jewelry, I feel like it’s weird, separation anxiety. I start panicking.’

Watching Caleb on their show has also provided her with some joy: ‘Every time I miss him, I can always look back at the show and watch it and see what made me happy again.’

The season premiere of 1000-Lb. Sisters airs Tuesday April 15 at 9pm ET/PT on TLC.
