Caleb Shomo, the lead singer of the rock band Beartooth, is officially moving on from his wife, Fleur Shomo, after 14 years of marriage. The news of their separation comes weeks after Shomo, 33, came out as a “proudly gay man” after speculation about his sexual identity mounted. In a post, Shomo opened up about his decision to come forward with the truth, stating that it took him many years to feel comfortable with who he is. Fleur, meanwhile, admitted to being hurt by the news, but vowed to support him through this next phase of life.
Te amamos, Caleb Shomo! 🖤

According to a new report from Page Six, Caleb and Fleur jointly filed for dissolution of their marriage in Los Angeles Superior Court earlier this week. The pair got married in April 2012 and were together for 14 years. They do not share any children.
Their divorce comes on the heels of Caleb’s admission that he is a “proudly gay man.” He opened up to his social media followers and fans after speculation about his personal life grew. “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,” he said.
Caleb Shomo Said He Was ‘Embarrassed’ That He Didn’t Feel Comfortable Enough To Be Himself
Caleb, a Columbus, Ohio, native, has released several albums under the Beartooth moniker, “Disgusting,” “Aggressive,” “Disease,” “Below,” “The Surface,” and, most recently, “Pure Ecstasy.”
In his initial statement, Caleb implied that he wrote about his struggle with his sexuality throughout his music, noting that the albums explored his “religious upbringing, depression, self-hatred, and hopelessness.”
While he admitted he was grateful for the work he’s put out, he felt “embarrassed at times that I wouldn’t allow myself to really dig up the roots for so long.”

After Caleb came out publicly, his wife, Fleur, broke her silence, revealing the news had crushed her. Despite feeling sadness over the end of her marriage, she said that she would always “love, protect, and support Caleb” for the rest of their days. “I have cared more about his well-being over the years than anything else in the world,” she said.
Fleur went on to say that she was saddened knowing her estranged husband spent years of his life confused and fearful about his identity. “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,” she added.
As she works to care for herself during this challenging time, Fleur said that she was also trying to strike a balance between supporting Caleb and moving forward.
“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,” she said.
How Was Caleb Feeling When He Came Out As Gay To His Estranged Wife?
After coming out as gay, Caleb appeared on Katie Maloney’s “Disrespectfully” podcast and recalled the moment he told his wife he had feelings for men.
“I was just bawling my f-cking eyes out, trying so hard to verbalize,” the rock singer said. “And I really struggle to verbalize things, and this is obviously such an intense thing, and I’m feeling so nervous and so scared in the situation that it was really, really difficult to verbalize, and I didn’t verbalize it very well.”
Caleb Was Scared To Come Out Because Of His Upbringing
Elsewhere in the conversation, Caleb said that one reason he kept this part of himself suppressed for so long was his conservative upbringing.
He recalled a story from the past, when he went shopping with his mother and picked out what she described as a “girls’ ring.” Although she purchased the piece of jewelry for him, it wasn’t until he was bullied by kids at school that he began to feel differently about wearing it.
“I just freaked out and didn’t know what was going on and threw it out the window,” he said. “It was like, ‘F-ck, don’t do that. Whatever that is, let’s keep that away.’”
Since then, Caleb said he knew he had “feminine” energy, but because of his surroundings, he felt he couldn’t really express it.
“So that feeling that I had, which I now understand was my sexuality, I just viewed and compartmentalized as just self-hatred. It’s this thing that’s evil in me, and okay, you fight this with all of your might. And that’s the right thing to do. You f-cking pray about it,” he said.
