Tammy Slaton was reportedly "still in love" with Caleb Willingham and held off on filing for a divorce due to his declining health.
The 1000-lb Sisters star is said to have been "scared" for Caleb's health before his tragic death at just 40 years old.
Caleb was married to Tammy for five months before they parted ways, with his death confirmed by his younger brother on Facebook on Saturday.
