Ariel Fulmer reveals how she discovered Ned Fulmer’s affair as ex-couple confirm separation

Ned Fulmer and his ex-wife Ariel Fulmer have publicly addressed their separation and the cheating scandal that ended his career with The Try Guys.

The revelations came during the debut episode of Ned’s new podcast, Rock Bottom With Ned Fulmer, released this week.

Ariel shared that she first learned of Ned’s affair in 2022 through fans who sent her photos of him with a colleague. Initially, she believed the woman in the picture was his sister before realizing it was a company employee. “I found out about your affair from the fans,” Ariel said. “For some reason, I couldn’t see what was actually there. I thought it was your sister.”

The scandal, which exposed Ned’s relationship with an employee of his production company, led to his removal from The Try Guys, the YouTube group he co-founded. Known for his “wife guy” persona, Fulmer’s infidelity shocked fans who had followed his marriage closely.

During the podcast, Ariel described the betrayal as devastating and admitted she could not forgive Ned for “lying and cheating.” However, she emphasized that the two remain committed to co-parenting their children and continue to take family trips despite no longer being romantically involved.

Ned, who admitted he once wanted nothing to do with social media, said therapy and time away from the spotlight inspired him to return to content creation. With Rock Bottom, he plans to interview guests about overcoming personal challenges.

The couple’s candid discussion marked their first joint public appearance since the affair, reopening conversation around one of YouTube’s most high-profile scandals.
