“They broke up because Tammy was wanting to get married and he was still married and not wanting to divorce his current wife. So he left. After that idk. Probably meeting other SSBBWs and feeding them. But I have wondered that myself. Wonder if he watches the show.”
“Jerry tenderly cleaned Tammy’s post hayride spider bite and worried how she would clean it after he left. Had no idea he should have been at home taking care of his sick wife!”
“He went back to his wife, who had cancer at the time, and I believe they had 6 or 7 kids. He’s seen on tiktok occasionally and has appeared on podcasts and does cameos as well. I always thought it was horrible that Tammy was ok with him coming to see her while his wife was possibly dying of cancer and no one to help take care of the kids because he was too busy trying to stick it in some folds on national TV. Just what you want as a husband and father of your children.”
“Jerry was married while he was with Tammy, his wife was sick too. Don’t know what happened after, maybe he went back to his wife.”
