‘Try Guys’ YouTuber Ned Fulmer Leaves Channel After Admitting to Cheating on Wife

There must be something in the air-hardly a week after the news of Adam Levine cheating came out, now similar news of Ned Fulmer, member of the family-friendly YouTube channel The Try Guys, has surfaced. 

If you’ve spent any amount of time on YouTube, especially around 2014, you’ve probably heard of BuzzFeed and the Try Guys. The ‘Try Guys’ were originally a group of four men who worked for BuzzFeed and made their own spinoff channel creating lifestyle and comedy content.

Ned Fulmer, a (former) member of this group, has spent recent years trying to build his brand off of his family. He has two sons, Wesley (age four) and Finley (age 1), with his wife, Ariel, whom he married in 2012. In 2021, he and his wife Ariel released a cookbook titled The Date Night Cookbook. Ned’s family made frequent appearances in his social media, and much of his content with them was centered around food and home DIYs.

Some other accomplishments that Fulmer achieved because of his family-based content were a partnership with Target and a lot of recognition for their household decorating. Unfortunately, at the same time he was  making wholesome family-friendly content, Ned Fulmer was cheating on his wife.

The Try Guys posted on their Instagram today, September 27, saying that Ned is no longer a member of their channel and that they “do not see a path forward together.” It appears that the Try Guys no longer wish to associate with Ned in any way, online or in person, and that he has been fired from the channel.

An hour later, Ned took to his own Instagram to address the topic. He said that he lost focus of his priorities and had a “consensual workplace relationship.” He posted the screenshot of his post on his Twitter, where his bio has not yet been changed from “official dad of the @ tryguys.” His wife, Ariel, also posted a statement on Instagram, wishing for privacy and thanking people who have reached out for her.

This workplace relationship he references is believed to be about the producer of the Try Guys, Alex Herring, who was seen and recorded kissing Fulmer in a New York bar. It seems these statements were put out due to a Twitter account which was dedicated to exposing Ned Fulmer, complete with timelines of his cheating.

The Wikipedia page of the YouTube group has already been updated to only include the other members, Keith Habersburger, Zach Kornfield, and Eugene Lee Yang. As for the future of the now-trio, it appears that they still plan to make content, minus the presence of Fulmer. 

It’s some sad news to hear for people who enjoy the channel’s content and now know the vile news of Ned’s friendly face committing adultery when there were no cameras on (that he knew of, at least). The support for the Try Guys has been flowing in, with people applauding them for doing the right thing and cutting ties with their former friend who did not know how to respect his wife and children.
