Tammy opens up about her sexuality
Before Tammy made her relationship with Andrea official, she expressed concerns that her family wouldn’t be accepting of her dating a woman.
Her relationship with Andrea was Tammy’s first connection since the death of her husband Caleb Willingham in June 2023.
The 38-year-old, who previously came out as pansexual, shared that she wants to take a new approach to dating.
“After Caleb’s passing, I just don’t want to be with a man anymore,” Tammy told cameras.
