TRY GUYS SCANDAL ROCKS ON: NED FULMER'S ESTRANGED WIFE ARIEL SPEAKS OUT ABOUT CHEATING SCANDAL, REVEALS THEY'RE NOT TOGETHER AFTER ALL

In a shocking turn of events, the Try Guys scandal that left fans reeling in 2022 has resurfaced with a new bombshell: Ned Fulmer and his estranged wife Ariel are not together after all. The couple, who have been quietly co-parenting their two young children since the cheating scandal broke, finally addressed the drama on Ned's new podcast Rock Bottom.

The premiere episode of the podcast was a jaw-dropping exposé of the couple's tumultuous relationship, with Ariel opening up about the moment she discovered Ned's affair. "I found out about your infidelity from the fans," Ariel revealed, her voice trembling with emotion. "It was like my brain couldn't compute. I thought it was your sister in that picture."

For the first time since Ned admitted to an affair with an employee at his production company ¿ a 2022 revelation that ultimately cost him his job ¿ the couple appeared together on the premiere of his new podcast Rock Bottom to tackle the lingering questions around the betrayal

Ariel, who has been vocal about struggling to process the betrayal, shared how she felt blindsided by the news and questioned everything about their relationship. "I remember sending you a message asking what your sister was doing in New York," she said, tears welling up in her eyes.

Ned, who had previously admitted to infidelity on an employee at his production company, attempted to make amends during the podcast episode. However, Ariel made it clear that forgiveness is not in her vocabulary – yet. "I've been asked if I forgive you, and my answer is a resounding no," she said firmly.

Ariel also revealed how the scandal left her feeling isolated and paranoid, with cameras constantly following them everywhere they went. "It was so unsafe," she shared. "I just stayed inside for a while because it was too much to handle."

Despite Ned's claims that their relationship has strengthened since counseling, sources close to the couple have confirmed that they've actually separated. A photo obtained by TMZ shows Ned with an unidentified woman at a Los Angeles music venue on September 7.

The news comes after Ned's statement to People last week, where he spoke about his desire to create and make things again after being kicked out of the Try Guys group. He also admitted that he missed having a creative outlet during his hiatus from social media.

Ned's new podcast Rock Bottom aims to explore the lowest points in people's lives, with him sitting down for conversations with those who've overcome challenging times. However, it seems like his own personal struggles may be far from over – at least not yet.

'I was so blindsided that somebody sent me a picture, and I couldn¿t ¿ it was like my brain couldn¿t compute,' she said, adding 'For some reason, I couldn¿t see what was actually there. I thought it was your sister. And I remember sending it to you and being like, ¿What¿s your sister doing in New York?

In a surprising twist, Ned claimed that every cent he spent on couples therapy was worth it due to the measurable improvements in their family life. However, it appears that his efforts were for naught, as sources confirm they've indeed parted ways.

As fans continue to scrutinize the couple's relationship, one thing is certain: this saga has only just begun. Stay tuned for more updates on the Try Guys scandal and Ned Fulmer's personal drama.
