Caleb Shomo and wife file for divorce after gay coming out
Caleb Shomo, the frontman of the metalcore band Beartooth, and his wife Fleur have jointly filed for divorce in Los Angeles Superior Court, ending their 14-year marriage. The filing comes roughly two months after Shomo publicly came out as gay in a statement posted to Instagram on May 23.
The couple, who married in April 2012 when Shomo was 19, have no children. No financial terms, property settlement details, or case number from the filing have been made public. The joint petition, filed earlier this week, formalizes the end of a marriage that Shomo described as having been over in everything but paperwork following his announcement.
In his May 23 Instagram post, Shomo reflected on years of self-hatred and hopelessness, calling his public revelation a step toward self-love. He wrote that after a decade of burying feelings with alcohol, deciding to quit drinking led him on a direct path to reconciling with his sexuality. Fleur Shomo responded publicly, stating she felt hurt and disoriented but vowed to love and support him and asked his fans to do the same.
Shomo later elaborated on the emotional moment he came out to his wife during a June 10 appearance on the "Disrespectfully"...
