Fleur Shomo is reflecting on her marriage with Caleb Shomo.
After the Beartooth lead singer came out as a “proudly gay man” May 23, his wife of 14 years broke her silence about the revelation.
“Not really sure how to start this cause does anything even need to be said? But I guess I’ll just dive right in,” Fleur wrote on Instagram May 23. “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.”
Though Fleur is happy to see Caleb living his truth, she also opened up about the pain it’s caused her.
“To see the confusion and pain he went through and the highs and lows and wanting to help but not knowing how,” she explained. “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.”
“I am the only person that is having to deal with the duality of this situation,” she added. “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.”
Fleur also announced the pair’s breakup after more than a decade of marriage.

“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,” she said. “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,” Fleur admitted. “Our story was a good one. And now it’s done.”
Just hours earlier, Caleb—who has been the frontman of the alternative metalcore band Beartooth since 2012—came out as gay.
“There has 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,” Caleb wrote on Instagram. “I am a proudly gay man.”

“This is something I’ve been unpacking and reckoning with in my life for quite some time now,” the 33-year-old added. “It’s been difficult to navigate the feelings surrounding the subject and figure out what to do with this fact.”
Noting he previously spent time “burying feelings with alcohol,” it wasn’t until Caleb sobered up that he could come to terms with his identity.
“I encourage anyone who's struggling with who they are to give yourself grace,” he wrote. “Do the hard work instead of burying it down as deep as you physically can thinking it will change like I did.”
“Holding these things in only hurt you and those around you,” he added. “Love you all, and hopefully this is a step in the right direction to loving myself one day.”
