Overview
- Shomo publicly came out as gay in an Instagram post on May 23 and has since expanded on that disclosure in interviews.
- On the Disrespectfully podcast he said the moment he told his then-wife was terrifying, that he told her he feels about men the same way he feels about women, and that the conversation was highly emotional.
- Shomo said he entered therapy immediately after coming out, credited that work with helping him stop hating himself and address severe ADHD, and described pausing alcohol use as part of recovery.
- Fleur Shomo posted that their nearly 14-year marriage was over and described the period as disorienting and painful for both of them.
- Beartooth are moving forward with their new album Pure Ecstasy, due August 28, 2026, and a January 2027 Australian headline tour, and Shomo’s openness could broaden queer representation in a heavy-music scene that has historically lacked visible LGBTQ artists.
