He was true to his values and married just after Starfleet but things never worked out when he found he was infertile due to a low sperm count. Going into a fit of depression, he took several years of leave which he used to build up some of his civilian educational skills before he went back into the Academy.

===Moira Hedrin===
Caleb met his wife, Moira Hedrin, when he became her Secretary of the Interior in 2408. As they got to know each other, she was realizing more and more how much they had in common. Realizing her marriage was ending, she relied on him through the hard times. Once she was divorced officially they got together. They remained together in secret until coming out during a presidential gala. When they married, he took her last name as he had no care for the Sparks legacy. They have no children together.
