Beartooth's Caleb Shomo Details Coming Out as Gay to Wife of 14 Years
Beartooth frontman Caleb Shomo described the emotional difficulty of coming out as gay to his wife Fleur on a podcast, saying he was terrified and struggled to verbalize his feelings. Shomo came out publicly on Instagram in May 2024 after spending years suppressing his sexuality with alcohol. The revelation has prompted both Shomo and his wife to acknowledge the significant impact on their marriage while emphasizing their mutual respect and support.
In an appearance on the "Disrespectfully" podcast hosted by Katie Maloney and Dayna Kathan, Beartooth frontman Caleb Shomo, 33, detailed his emotional experience coming out as gay to his wife of 14 years, Fleur Shomo. He described being "terrified" and struggling to articulate his feelings, telling her "the way that like I feel about girls, I feel about guys." Shomo revealed he had spent years suppressing his sexuality and previously spent a decade using alcohol to bury his feelings. Since coming out publicly on Instagram in May 2024, he has pursued therapy and lifestyle changes including exercise, proper nutrition, and creative outlets to address his mental health and severe ADHD. His wife Fleur acknowledged in her own Instagram post that the situation has been "incredibly hard" for both of them, while noting their 14-year marriage had been "wonderful and full of so much fun, adventure & love." Shomo stated his current goal is self-love and helping others achieve the same, taking things "one step at a time."
