'Queer Eye' Straight Guy Confirms Breakup with Ex-Wife
READ TIME: 1 MIN.
Well, this is a bummer.
Tom Jackson was the first dude the new Fab Five made over on Netflix's rebooted "Queer Eye." In the episode, called "You Can't Fix Ugly" (a phrase Jackson used on himself), the gang also helped the Georgia native rekindle his relationship with his ex-wife, Abby.
After getting the makeover, Jackson felt more confident about himself and mustered up the courage to ask Abby out on a date to a vintage car show. In the episode, the two hit it off and it was truly a heartwarming moment.
But Jackson took to Twitter Tuesday to let "Queer Eye" fans and the Fab Five, know that he and Abby are no longer together.
"I just watched my episode for about the 20th time," he wrote. "I cry like a baby ever time I watch it. Just to let the world know, Abby and I are no longer together. She will always be the love of my life. I will always love her more than anything!!!!!!!"
BuzzFeed reports Netflix confirmed this is Jackson's real Twitter account.
Remembering their relationship, Jackson also shared photos of the couple over the years
Jackson's split comes after some good news in the "Queer Eye" world. AJ Brown, who was featured in the fourth episode where the Fab Five encouraged him to come out as gay to his stepmother, recently announced he is engaged to his boyfriend.
