Beartooth frontman Caleb Shomo announced on Instagram that he identifies as a “proudly gay man,” following public speculation about his personal life. His wife, Fleur Shomo, responded with understanding and support after the revelation.
Fleur said the past few months have been emotionally challenging for both of them, while still expressing love and encouragement for Caleb despite the difficulties they are facing. She also spoke about the complex emotions involved, including her own sense of loss while continuing to stand by him.
Caleb shared that his announcement is part of a longer journey of self-discovery, shaped by his experiences with identity, religion, and depression, themes he has often explored through his music. His return to Instagram came around the time of a new Beartooth release after a period of absence from the platform.
Fleur reflected on their 14 years of marriage, describing it as filled with love and shared experiences, and wished for healing as they both move forward separately. She also shared that she plans to focus on her own goals and find small moments of joy as she begins a new chapter in her life.
