YouTuber Ned Fulmer fired from Try Guys, admits to cheating on wife

Popular YouTube group the Try Guys fired its member Ned Fulmer as he admitted to cheating on his wife, Ariel Fulmer.

“Ned Fulmer is no longer working with The Try Guys,” read a post shared by the group’s Instagram page Tuesday.

“As a result of a thorough internal review, we do not see a path forward together. We thank you for your support as we navigate this change,” concluded the statement from remaining members Keith Habersberger, Zach Kornfeld and Eugene Lee Yang.

Ned, 35, responded to the news via his personal Instagram account less than an hour later.

“Family should have always been my priority, but I lost focus and had a consensual workplace relationship,” he wrote after being seen kissing Try Guys producer Alex Herring at a New York City bar.

“I’m sorry for any pain that my actions may have caused to the guys and the fans but most of all to Ariel,” he continued. “The only thing that matters right now is my marriage and my children, and that’s where I am going to focus my attention.”

Ariel, 36-year-old, with whom Ned shares sons Wesley (4 years old) and Finley (1 year old), also spoke out during the scandal.

“Thanks to everyone who has reached out to me – it means a lot. Nothing is more important to me and Ned than our family, and all we request right now is that you respect our privacy for the sake of our kids,” she wrote on her Instagram.

After screenshots and photos were posted to a Reddit thread, news that Ned, who often spoke of how much he loved his wife, cheated with Ariel with Herring emerged.

These posts show Ned and Herring apparently having an affair at East Village mainstay Niagara.

“so basically I went out to niagara the club last night and saw her making out with ned from the try guys, i have videos if needed,” an anonymous Reddit user direct-messaged Herring’s fiancé, Will Thayer.

“she was wearing a red dress idk if that helps,” the message continued.

In another DM, Thayer allegedly wrote back, “Okay thanks” followed by, “Just spoke to Ariel for an hour.”

Eagle-eyed fans of the YouTube series later noticed that Ned had not appeared in the group’s three most recent videos despite being featured in the promotional material for this season.

In the videos of the group, Ned often spoke about how much his wife meant to him.
