Beartooth rocker Caleb Shomo and wife of 14 years file for divorce after he comes out as gay

Beartooth frontman Caleb Shomo and his wife of 14 years, Fleur Shomo, are legally going their separate ways nearly two months after he came out as gay.

Page Six can exclusively reveal that the now-former couple jointly filed for divorce in Los Angeles Superior Court earlier this week.

They do not share any children.

The metalcore rocker, who wed Fleur in April 2012, announced that he is “a proudly gay man” in a vulnerable statement posted on Instagram on May 23.

Despite feeling “hurt” and “disoriented” by her then-husband’s revelation, Fleur publicly vowed to “love and support” him — and asked his fans to do the same.

“Sending love and support 💪 His statement is powerful,” one of whom subsequently posted on X.

“I’m so proud of Caleb Shomo,” added another X user who emphasized “how hard it can be to come to terms with being queer.”

Someone else stressed that “it is never too late to come out as gay” and marveled, “His wife’s mindset is truly respectable.”

Many critics were quick to condemn the singer-songwriter, 33, for “wasting” Fleur’s time, but as one defender argued, “Any gay individual coming out after 14 years of straight marriage in our homomisic, cisheteronormative society is not inherently an abuser that wasted years of their partner’s life.”

Those familiar with Caleb’s journey know he was raised in a hyper-religious family 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.

But in February, the group released a track titled “Free,” on which Caleb sings, “There’s nobody else I’d rather be, so what the f–k is stopping me?”

He previously described the single as “the start of the next chapter of [his] music and [his] life,” elaborating, “This song shows a glimpse of what is to come from the next Beartooth album, which is the most honest depiction of my soul I will most likely ever make.”

Fans flooded the comments section of the track’s music video with positivity.

“Hearing Beartooth’s first song talking about dealing with alcoholism to hearing this now is really invigorating,” one person remarked beneath the visual.

“2016: I just wanna live free! 2026: I’m free! Such a huge difference in 10 years, so proud of you Caleb ❤️,” another supporter echoed.

“Good for him! Congratulations for being so brave and open!!” someone else chimed in, with yet another commenter adding, “I’m happy that Caleb seems to be healing and that he is feeling so comfortable with himself.”

“The self love and confidence is beautiful. I’m so happy to see him expressing himself. Been here since the beginning, not going anywhere anytime soon! 🖤🖤,” a day-one exclaimed, as someone else praised the musician for his commitment to “being the happiest version of himself!”

As for Caleb’s bandmates’ reaction to the news, Beartooth bassist Oshie Bichar has publicly offered his pal support.
