On Tuesday, former Try Guy Ned Fulmer<\/a> \u2014 whom you may recall as the infamous \u201cwife guy\u201d who got excised from the group in 2022 after cheating on his wife, Ariel, with an employee \u2014 made his grand return<\/a> to the public eye with a podcast launch. Shortly after implying in a People<\/a> magazine interview that his marriage was \u201cstronger than it was before,\u201d Fulmer has revealed that, actually, he and his wife have been separated for years.<\/p>\n On Tuesday, hours after his interview with People dropped, TMZ<\/a> reported that Ned and Ariel were separated. The two confirmed the news on Wednesday in the first episode of Ned\u2019s podcast, Rock Bottom<\/a>, which Ariel appeared on. Speaking about the state of their marriage, Ned acknowledged it was \u201ccomplicated\u201d but said they \u201creally haven\u2019t been\u201d a couple since news of his infidelity came out. \u201cWe\u2019re still friends, we have children together, we go on trips together \u2026 like, there\u2019s a spectrum of being together or not together,\u201d he said. \u201cThere\u2019s moments when we kind of tried, but just because you go to a Taylor Swift concert together doesn\u2019t mean that all is forgiven.\u201d (Ned and Ariel were spotted at an L.A. Eras Tour<\/a> show a year after the scandal broke.)<\/p>\n It definitely does not sound like all is forgiven. \u201cPeople ask me, \u2018Do you forgive Ned for what he did?\u2019 And I mean, the answer is no, absolutely not,\u201d Ariel said. \u201cHow can you forgive somebody for lying to you? For cheating on you? No. Fuck no.\u201d Even so, she said \u201cforgiveness isn\u2019t the goal at this point\u201d for her. \u201cYou are the father of my two beautiful children, and we know each other really well,\u201d she said. \u201cWe\u2019ve worked through a lot of stuff, and the fact that I can be around you and still have a good time and enjoy spending time with you and enjoy spending time with my kids, I think that\u2019s a win.\u201d Sounds like they\u2019re following the Bennifer divorce model<\/a>.<\/p>\n Stay in touch.<\/p>\n Get the Cut newsletter delivered daily<\/p>\n Vox Media, LLC Terms and Privacy Notice<\/p>\n
