Rock star's wife of 14 years speaks after singer comes out as 'proudly gay man'

Tuesday, May 26, 2026 - Beartooth frontman Caleb Shomo's wife, Fleur Shomo, confirmed their marriage is over after the singer announced he is gay in a statement on May 23

Fleur Shomo has confirmed that her 14-year marriage to rock star Caleb Shomo is "done" after the singer came out as a "proudly gay man" on Saturday, May 23.

The Beartooth frontman, 33, admitted he spent years struggling with his sexuality, but felt "compelled to set the record straight" to avoid hurting "those I love any further."

Hours later, Fleur, who married Caleb in April 2012, released her own statement on Instagram, revealing that while she fully loves and supports Caleb, the past few months have been a "hurtful time to navigate."

"Not really sure how to start this cause does anything even need to be said? But I guess I'll just dive right in," she began.

"The past few months have been a very disorientating and hurtful time to navigate. For both of us. But I will always want to love, protect and support Caleb. I have cared more about his well being over the years than anything else in the world.

"To see the confusion and pain he went through and the highs and lows and wanting to help but not knowing how. You never want anything more for your person than for them to just be ok. You also ask yourself constantly if you’re a bad person for wondering wtf this means for your world & the anger you also feel."

Fleur continued: "To support him whilst losing everything has been incredibly hard to figure out. You can love and support your person through the hardest time in their life, whilst also be completely demolished & lose yourself at the same time."

Confirming the end of their marriage, she added: "Our nearly 14yrs of marriage was wonderful and full of so much fun, adventure & love. Nobody will know anything about our marriage like we do. And no one can ever truly know what depths of love exist between two people unless they are those people.

"I already miss it & my husband more than anything. Our story was a good one. And now it's done."

Caleb also shared his statement on Instagram, in which he wrote: "There's been a lot of speculation surrounding my personal life as of late and I feel compelled to set the record straight before it affects those I love any further.

"I am a proudly gay man. This is something I've been unpacking and reckoning with in my life for quite some time now. It's been difficult to navigate the feelings surrounding the subject and figure out what to do with this fact."

Caleb said suppressing his sexuality over the years had taken an emotional toll on him, and he turned to alcohol in an attempt to bury his feelings.

"I spent a decade burying feelings with alcohol, and honestly when I decided to put it down and focus on exploring why I felt this way for so long, it's been a direct path to me reconciling with my sexuality in hopes that it will eventually lead to me experiencing self-love," he continued.

The musician added that he is "trying to finally be proud of who I am" before giving a shout-out to "those who have shown me love, empowerment through living life freely and openly in my presence."

He added: "I am forever in your debt and I hope you know what you mean to me."

Caleb concluded by thanking fans for their support and encouraging "anyone who's struggling with who they are to give yourself grace."

"Be honest with yourself. Do the hard work instead of burying it down as deep as you physically can thinking it will change like I did," he added. "Holding these things in only hurt you and those around you."
