Beartooth frontman Caleb Shomo and his wife of 14 years, Fleur Shomo, have legally separated, about two months after coming out as gay.
Page Six can exclusively reveal that the couple jointly filed for divorce in Los Angeles Superior Court earlier this week.
they have no children.
The metalcore rocker, who married Fleur in April 2012, announced in a vulnerable statement posted to Instagram on May 23 that he is “proudly gay.”
Despite being “hurt” and “confused” by her husband’s revelations, Fleur publicly vowed to “love and support” him and asked her fans to do the same.
“Sending love and support 💪 His statement is powerful,” one fan wrote to X afterward.
“I’m so proud of Caleb Shomo,” another X user added, emphasizing “how hard it is to accept being gay.”
Another person emphasized, “It’s not too late to come out as gay,” and marveled, “His wife’s way of thinking is truly worthy of respect.”
While many critics were quick to accuse the 33-year-old singer-songwriter of “wasting” Fleur’s time, one defense lawyer argued that “a gay man who comes out after 14 years of straight marriage in a homoerotic, cisheteronormative society is not essentially an abuser who wasted years of his partner’s life.”
Caleb detailed the “scary” moment he came out to his spouse on the June 10 episode of the podcast “Dis Respectively,” co-hosted by friends Katie Maloney and Dana Kathan.
“I was crying my eyes out so hard I was trying to put it into words,” he explained during an emotional sit-in.
“And I’m really, really bad at verbalizing things and this is obviously something so intense and I’m so nervous and scared in that situation that it’s really, really hard to verbalize and I couldn’t verbalize it very well.”
He remembered saying this to Fleur. “There’s something that I’ve been running away from for a long time. I don’t think I want to run away from anymore.”
Caleb started treatment “immediately” but admitted there was a “long road” to “forgiving myself.”
Those familiar with his background know that he grew up in a highly religious household and struggled with anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, eating disorders, and substance abuse.
After leaving the band Attack Attack!, the vocalist formed Beartooth, whose early music focused on mental health struggles and personal demons.
However, in February the group released a song titled “Free” in which Caleb sings, “There’s no one else I want to be, so what’s stopping me?”
He previously described the single as “the beginning of the next chapter in (his) music and (his) life,” and elaborated, “This song is a glimpse of what’s to come from Beartooth’s next album. It’s probably the most honest portrayal of my soul I’ll ever make.”
Fans flooded the comments section of the song’s music video with positive comments.
“I just listened to Beartooth’s first song, which talks about dealing with alcoholism, and it’s really uplifting,” one person said under the visual.
“2016: I just want to live free! 2026: I’m free! What a difference 10 years have made, I’m so proud of you, Caleb ❤️,” another supporter chimed in.
“Good for him! Congrats on being so brave and open!!” someone else chimed in, and yet another commenter added: “I’m glad Caleb seems to be recovering and feeling so comfortable with himself.”
One fan exclaimed, “Self-love and confidence is beautiful. So happy to see him expressing himself. Been here since the beginning, not going anywhere anytime soon! 🖤🖤.”
Another praised the musician’s commitment to “becoming your happiest self.”
Caleb’s bandmates reacted to the news, with Beartooth bassist Oshie Bichar publicly offering support for his friend.
