YouTube Group 'Try Guys' Might Break Up & It Could Be Because One Of Them Cheated On His Wife

Millennials (and even Gen-Z) content consumers, like myself, grew up watching viral YouTube channels after school, including the BuzzFeed's popular series The Try Guys.

So, you can imagine the magnitude of the shockwaves among long-term fans upon learning, on Tuesday, that one of the Try Guys, Ned Fulmer, allegedly cheated on his wife -- and now he might be exiting the show entirely.

Who are the Try Guys?

For those who may not be familiar with The Try Guys, it's a video property started by American media company BuzzFeed in 2018. It followed a group of four guys, who try new challenges in each episode.

The members -- Keith Habersberger, Ned Fulmer, Zach Kornfeld and Eugene Lee Yang -- have become beloved figures on the internet, over the years.

Rumours on Reddit, in the past 24 hours, suggested that Fulmer allegedly cheated on his long-term partner and wife Ariel Fulmer, with whom he has two children.

To make matters even worse, he didn't just cheat with someone random, but allegedly cheated with a much younger Try Guys producer Alexandria Herring, who is also engaged to someone else.

Fan theories about Fulmer

The chatter first began when fans noticed that Fulmer had been missing from the show's past three episodes and podcasts.

Not only has he skipped recent Try Guys projects, but they also mysteriously removed him from the show's intro.

Twitter user @camitwomeyy details the recent events, including 'proof' that Fulmer had been given less (or no) footage in recent productions.

Where did the video come from?

Not long after Fulmer stopped appearing in the videos, the Try Guys announced that they would temporarily switch to a frequency of one new video a week, until the end of October.

But things hit the fan after videos and photos were leaked on Reddit, showing Fulmer and Herring making out at a New York club.

User hamilton390 posted the footage on Reddit after claiming that they saw Fulmer cheating with Herring. It was alleged in the comments that hamilton390 is Herring's fiancé, Will Thayer, and he was supplied the media by a witness.

Thayer has since removed his pictures with Herring from his Instagram and no longer follows her either.

The Reddit threads have since been deleted. However, the videos and photos can still be found on the Twitter account @nedfulmerexpose.

Shock & disbelief

Ever since the claims gained momentum online, fans have taken to social media to express their concerns.

TikTok user, Kate Sarte has aggregated material about the scandal breaking down the turn of events. The video has garnered over 1.2 million views within less than 10 hours of being posted on the app.

Fulmer's been trending on Twitter as well. Tru Guys fans have not been holding back in expressing their feelings about the whole situation.

Following are some of the more popular reactions.

One Twitter user also posted more 'photo evidence' of the nightclub incident.

Fulmer has created an online persona of being a family man and even dubbed himself as the father figure of the group. His Twitter bio, at the time of writing this, even said, "official dad of the @tryguys."

What makes things look worse for him is that he has often brought up his wife on the show -- so much so that there are video compilations of him using the term "my wife" repeatedly on Try Guys' content.

Since the allegations became public, neither of the stakeholders have addressed the situation. We have reached out to them for comment and will update the story accordingly. Watch out this space for more.
