Many fans have been waiting for the TLC series to address Tammy’s marriage to Caleb. Their wedding occurred in November 2022, but the show introduced Caleb in episode 8. “Caleb is someone I’ve been getting to know for the past couple of weeks,” Tammy says in “Forbidden Fruit.”
“Caleb’s been here almost a year and he’s just now starting to come out of his room because he had health issues.” According to Caleb, Tammy “saved his life” when he ran out of oxygen one day in the rehab. That kindness is part of the reason he fell for her.

After learning more about the early days of Tammy and Caleb’s relationship, some fans found Caleb’s actions strange. “Caleb is creepy,” reads one comment in a Reddit thread about the episode. “Anytime a dude does that thing where he showers you with compliments out the side of his mouth: RUN. Or wheel, in her case.”
“Caleb is a creep,” another Reddit user agreed. “He gives controlling, manipulative vibes. Like the kind of guy who will try to isolate her. Hope I’m wrong.”
“He’s either a stalker, a plant or suffers from the same arrested development as Tammy, as evidenced by his parking lot proposal after three weeks of eating chili next to someone in the common room,” said another Redditor. “Caleb concerns me,” another Reddit user chimed in. “Something about their relationship feels off. He went to the facility for Tammy??? Is he chasing fame?”
