Respect to the fact that not once did they have Ned, or any other SO, come in to say "I like this" or "I think you look hot". Because this isn't about what other people think, or whether the SO loves them for them, it's about them loving themselves and the bodies they have.
I was thinking the exact same thing! It made me beyond happy to see women supporting women and women supporting themselves in this
Definitely. Although, I’m waiting for the next Try Wives baby announcement when the SOs see these photos. 😂
This. So much this
And you KNOW Ned would have absolutely done that! Probably even WANTED to, LOL! But did you see Eugene's like on Ariel's photo? I know it's a small thing, but I found it so heartwarming!
Besides, we already know Ned "My Wife" Fulmer thinks she's a hot momma.
9:17 Alex helped filming this video where Ariel is literally talking about her insecurities and struggles that come up with pregnancy/ motherhood. Damn it feels so fucking strange to watch this given all the history now. She knew damn well what she was doing and did it anyways. Disgusting. Ned don't deserve Ariel.
Yes, they knew each other before working together and Alex made a comment about post Malone. They were at a club and she kept pushing him to hang out when he didn’t want to and wanted to respect his baby’s mother.
Alex is a disgusting person for this. She knew damn well what she was doing . Ned and Alex deserve the worst.
Did Alex and Ned already hook up with each other when this was filmed?
@@joecarom391 - It's been going on for over a year so yes, most likely.
She was right behind hee at 00:16. Sad to know someone close to you did this …
That “feeling hot while taking the pictures and wanting to cry when you see them” process is SO real, no matter how hot you are everyone has a bad angle and finding it hurts on a new level😭
FR and wondering to myself “i really look like this?” BUT we have to remember to always love our body for what it do for us not just for how it looks
Fr
We support Ariel in this household
To me Ariel is and always will be in the Try Family, f**k Ned and Alex, they're out.
Yesss we LOVE ariel❤️❤️❤️
Lets start a go fund me to put a hit on Alex Like if you agreeeee
are they dropping Ariel..? or is she just (understandably) taking a break? it's so sad, she's the OG try wife. she's the momma bear of the trywives. and she didn't do anything to warrant her losing any of the opportunities from SecondTry..
@@hedwig109 they offered to come back on the try pod but I'm not sure about the channel. I'd say she's just taking a break and figuring things out
I love that there are no partner’s opinions, no men’s opinions, just how they felt and what they liked. And I love that the try guys hand off their channel for this kind of thing and don’t need to be the focus or overbearing.
I was kinda on the other end of that spectrum wondering about the opinions of their partners. After all, marriage is a unit. I do understand what you're saying though. I fully support women posting what they want without men commenting on it. I thought they were all so bad ass and absolutely stunning. It's a very real and relatable video that will connect with mom's and women all over the world.
@@educatorally3875 marriage is a unit yes, but this isn't about their partners. It's about inner self confidence.
@@skylarsa yeah but what affects that inner confidence? Right outside people. If u have a lot of people shaming u for how u look it will have a big impact on hoe u feel about yourself. I for example would have loved them showing the pictures they like the most to their partners. And for example both them and the partners say what they liked most, for example. When i look in the mirror, i feel good about my body. Sometimes more/ sometimes less. (I Lost 15kg and i am still on the way loosing more) But i would lie if i'd tell u, that my partner looking at the places of my body that i feel insecure about and telling me how he loves them, doesnt do something. The same way women can help each other overcome their insecurities, men can help us too.
I can’t agree more!
There are plenty of male opinions (all good!) on their instagram but as we know with Ned and Ariel he thinks she's fantastic in every way!!
Ariel, dayum, girl, Ned isn't the only Fulmer who should be bragging about their booty!
It seems to me that both Ned and Ariel have the best booties in the whole group.
Yes, Ned and Ariel are smokin. But so are the others, who don’t look like them. You don’t have to fit into that body type (or any body type) to be smokin, or feel good or brag about your body 🤗
@@nkathryn93 they didn't say the others don't look good...
@oeufdufromage Everything’s relative.
@oeufdufromage someone had to bring race into this huh
Ned doesn't deserve Ariel. This woman is too precious. Poor Ariel. Suffering through an affair but also knowing that everyone knows.
not even to mention it was like to a younger girl who hadn't birthed kids and that just creates a whole new level of insecurity. so sad, hope her and the kids are doing well
And did you listen to Alex was cheering them on in the shoot…. Awkward
And there she is with that girl in one frame. How does Alex feel about this video now? so sad for Ariel
@@shaynevalderrama-roberto6178 cheaters lack any sense of empathy or compassion or they wouldn't be able to do what they so. The sad truth is she is either unbothered while looking back, or it even makes her feel good. And its the same for Ned. They don't care about others, only themselves.
@@mekennahthorsnes6288 Alex is only a few years younger than Ariel, so i'm not so sure age has anything to do with this
Ariel talking about her insecurities to the world, just to have her husband cheat on her is so cruel. He should’ve been the one to make her feel beautiful every day, especially after giving birth to two kids. She was vulnerable and didn’t have a partner to back her up. He can say “my wife” all he wants, but words don’t cover up betrayal. We love you, Ariel 🤍
I have a few friends who are very sweet, and anytime I say something negative about my body they always ask me what I'm high on lol. I know I don't have the body of a supermodel and that's okay, most of us don't. So I'd say that today, I love my body more than I ever did when I was skinny. I'm taking better care of my body for me, and want to make some changes, but bc of them, I don't feel like I need to. Get some friends like that.
its probably just me, but i felt like he hasnt said “my wife” in a long while before this came up, not like before
Lets start a go fund me to put a hit on Alex
It breaks my heart hearing Ariel talk about being confident in the moment then seeing the pictures and not feeling good about them. I feel ya, girl.
I uploaded my Face Reveal.....
Honestly, same :(
Saaaame, I never take pictures of myself because I hate the way I look on pictures lol And they looked way more stunning than me and I don't even have kids ahaha
Especially since they all killed it!
Same. I know that feel
I’m hearing them criticize their bodies and I’m just so shocked. I can’t even tell they had children, they look GOOD.
I said the exact same thing - and I stopped myself and said "parents' have all kinds of bodies" - but it's true! What they're saying is so important, I just wish at least 1 of them was bigger than like a size 12 (adjusting for stupid sizing at some brands)...
And there’s nothing wrong with looking like you’ve had children. Actually, there’s so much right and beautiful about that. How amazing 🤩
My thoughts exactly. They are all gorgeous. Also this highlights that a good photographer doesn't need a lot of editing to make a good image. (ALSO, I have to highlight that Photo Editing / Photo Collage / Composite Photography / Photo Mosaics are all WILDLY different artforms from Photography. It's so sad to me that people treat them as all one artform.)
you live in LA? lol place is filled with judgemental plastic humans and after a while it DOES affect your self worth inception style.
@@GornStream from the south so absolutely cannot relate lol. We all aspire to have more weight not less lol
Okay but Rachel talking about how it’s important to keep yourself a whole person when you have kids because eventually they’ll be their own people and you have to be a person without them again? I love that because all you usually hear is how you should be your child’s everything by having everything of you be about them. You can adore your children and give them everything you want and still be an actual person.
I LOVED that quote when she was saying it in the video. I think it was SO spot on.
So true. My mom never really had her own identity. She always identified herself through her children. She even used my sister's name to create her first email address back in the day. Then when all her kids grew up, she completely imploded. Her alcoholism got worse and everything fell apart for her. We're trying to help her build her own identity (and get help for her addiction) but it isn't easy.
As new mom, this was the most helpful comment about motherhood. In the past months I have forgotten how to take care of myself because I have been so focused on my new baby. In order for me to be the best mom I have to be the best me. 💕💕
It's also super important for their relationship when the kids get older!! A lot of that "rebellion" stage comes from trying to find your own identity apart from your parents. Being encouraged to be an individual and not an extension of someone else is imperative for healthy development. Rachel is awesome!
She is so right too. I had a mom that did that and it’s actually extremely toxic. I wanted my mom to have friends, have hobbies, be her own person! But she was solely focused on raising us and that was the only thing “keeping her alive.” Don’t do this to your kids! Don’t pressure them to be your everything.
I'm not even a mom, but I LOVE what Rachel said about making sure she is still her own person, so when her daughters grow up and become their own people, she isn't left with just a shell and like she's lost herself.
I think that’s one of the hardest things to come to terms with. Society makes us think we are JUST moms, and being anything else makes us a “bad” mom. And then you have to make the time to find yourselves again because our aren’t the same person anymore. 😩 the stress thinking about it is enough lol
Yes. Before I had my baby spend time with lots of moms and most of them didn't had a persona anymore. They were reduced for society to be a "mom" and everything outside that was selfishness. You want to go and learn a new language? Shame on you, how dare you to have interests that go beyond milking your tits?
That’s what happened to my mom. She put every piece of herself into raising us and her entire identity was being a mom. She was so lost when we all moved out and went into a depression. We’re all in our 30’s now and she’s still not the same. It scares me to become a mom because I don’t want to lose myself like that.
That happened to my mom 😢 and now that all of her kids we now have family and jobs she feels super lonely especially after she divorced my dad I try to encourage her to find things she enjoys doing on her own but at her age I feel like she is completely lost and alone 😢
Lets start a go fund me to put a hit on Alex
Ariel: “This is so unnatural!” Also Ariel: *totally nailing it* All of these moms are total smoke shows.

@@AxxLAfriku asked
I really appreciated the candid talk about not wanting to disappear, about wanting to be a whole self after your kids are grown - that's so important
I came here to exactly say this! While the women look beautiful and the pictures look great, I took more from that one sentence than anything else.
Yeah my mother in law is kind of a shell of herself and it’s really sad to see.
Yeah I know alot of ppl who forget about themselves. N only identify as a mom
Ned does not deserve Ariel at all and Alex listening to her talk about her insecurities makes it even more sad
I'll in my head 😅 Ii 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'll change my password Ii 🤣🤣 I'll
the fact that woman said ‘my sister hasn’t shaved for a month’ shows the fact women feel obliged to do that. if she doesn’t shave for a month who cares? it’s hair it grows and shouldn’t be embarrassing to have.
well, society has been telling this for yeaaaaaaaaaars so yes. we have this standards engrained in our minds. Is hard to let go of them.
absolutely it’s completely due to society but it’s sad and shouldn’t be frowned upon. sometimes i get it’s a choice but mostly it’s forced and it’s so sad!
@ordinaryandhuman yeah a friend of mine who is Japanese said a lot of woman (including herself) don’t shave their underarms and private area due to womanhood/other things
tbh i didn't see it like that. i saw it as that being something that she just likes and wants to do for herself so not being able to do it would kinda suck
lowkey was thinking the same thing. Because I RARELY shave. and when she made that comment , it made me realize, "oh people really read into whether a person shaves or not.."
“Oh because you’re a human with skin?” Hit so hard. I wish I could see my body that way. Rachel is such an inspiration to moms.
Even to those of us who aren't moms, her words were really powerful in this.
I think more mom's should hear Rachel talking about being a whole person as a mom. Her speech about her kids that stop being a part of her and more a part of the world... So inspiring
That really led me to think about so many people I know who have been moms for so long that when their kids leave they panic. Maybe that's why; they let their individual self fade and were just "mom" and then didn't know what to do with that once they didn't have to fully be "mom" anymore
That's what terrifies me the most about having kids. I don't want to become Mom™️, I am so scared of losing my self identity. Finding myself, who I am, was such an important struggle in my life, and such a joy when I finally became fully confident in my identity! It terrifies me to lose all of that and just be... Mom.
Right!? I out loud said "wow, yeah!" When she said that
Rachel is a f*cking icon and I love her
This is how I felt every time I watched a fellow teammate quit roller derby because their kid was at the age where they were joining sports teams or just becoming more active. So them as a mom had to quit the league to accommodate their children's hobbies. I wish not a single one of them ever had to quit for that reason. Of course your kids should have their hobbies too, but parents should not have to stop what they enjoy just because they have kids. Maybe they can't go to as many practices or whatever their hobby is, but there should be a way for a kid to be on a dance team or whatever and a mom to still do what she enjoys. This is especially true if there are 2 active parents in the equation.
This really made my heart break :( I saw Ariel's effortless posing, Rachel's beautiful smile and Krisanne's ability to just rock everything she wears in every picture; I hope the good, confident days outnumber the bad in a wide margin, they all deserve to look at themselves and be beautiful
Ariel is amaZing and for ned to cheat on her- like why
Ariel had two kids and still looks like that?! What the actual F?! She’s stunning
I get the feeling that Ned is a lil neg-er. I bet he negged her into that marriage.
i cried the moment they started talking about the “flaws” in the photos, but it was also extremely comforting in a way, because it hit a little too close. as women, all these expectations are so heavy on us to the point it messes with your mind and ruins any kindness you try to have for yourself. knowing i’m not the only one is amazing and hearing them talk themselves out of those thoughts was so beautiful and inspiring. what a wonderful video💗
I was going to write a comment just like this but you’ve nailed it. I feel the exact same way.
K. p O. OP oKKk o K O O K oQQ}1
Saaaaaame!
Agreed ❤️
I’ve done photo shoots too to try to get over body insecurities. But then there’s also moments seeing the photos of “I’m not as hot as I felt. I thought I was attractive. I’m seeing the flaws and realizing it’s all true. All those negative thoughts about myself are true.” But it’s so worth it and fun. Show yourself grace!
I am HERE FOR THIS. Positive Mom content that isn’t just focused on childbirth or the baby is just so inspiring. Learning how to take thirst trap photos is just a bonus.

YES!!! ❤
how did ned ever pull ariel i dont understand
He never deserved someone as precious and beautiful as her and someone with an actual personality..
Asking the real questions
because she excuses his behaviour because shes insecure and he takes advantage of that
Fr
Now looking at this video…man do I feel so much love and respect for Ariel. She deserves better.
Other than destroying toxic masculinity, one of the most commendable things that the Try Guys do is providing a platform for women, especially moms, showing that women are great or *even greater* than people usually assume.
@@al-Bismillah 😃you're such a great person
I 100 percent agree with you!!!!
@@al-Bismillah that's exactly what a toxically masculine person would say 😌 congrats
@@al-Bismillah it's when people hate when men don't look "manly"
@@al-Bismillah Its the idea that men are greater because they are men, that there is a certain way men should act (tends to be homophobic, misogynistic, emotionless, muscular, etc). Its bad for both men and women honestly.

Ned in nine months after seeing Ariel's posts: "I'd like to introduce you to little Candice and Cameron Fulmer"
She's stunningly beautiful
Omg yes

honestly i can see why ned talks about ariel all the time, she’s absolutely fabulous. all of them are beautiful, it’s sad that they don’t feel 100% confident in their bodies. thanks to all the ladies in the video for being open and vulnerable! moms need to be able to feel confident and sexy too!

Alex was here smiling and cheering on Ariel and she was probably already sleeping with her husband

And even if she hadn't started yet, she did it AFTER this, which is somehow worse. She knew exactly what she was doing.
Do you think so? That’s beyond awful

This is a testament to how the people we think of as friends can go and do the worst things to you behind your back. We must be extra careful of who we consider as friends.

Not gonna lie, the one where they’re leaning over the balcony is *chefs kiss. Like, if I look like that ever. Not even after kids, I would be so pleased. I love how supportive everyone at the shoot was. How many women are supporting women and it’s amazing to see everyone coming together. Also how open they are about how they actually felt about the photos. You ladies are amazing. We love you all xx
@oeufdufromage What's your problem?
@oeufdufromage they have perfect bodies wtf are you "puking" about?
Don't think about wanting to look like them, thinking about wanting to embrace what you look like! We are all gorgeous in our bodies and their is nothing so empowering in this world as loving your body for what it is and what it does in every stage!
Rachel is STUNNING. It always makes me tear up when she talks herself down.
Right, her eyes😭
I know it's weird considering I'm a queer guy teenager and they're all middle aged straight women with kids, but this video just feels so relatable. Feeling good in the moment but bad after the fact is so painfully accurate to how I feel whenever I take photos of myself, and seeing these gorgeous women feel uncomfortable about they're beautiful bodies makes me wonder if someone like me, who isn't even conventionally, wonder if I can ever feel happy about how I look.
You can! this is more about how regardless what gender, sex, race, orientation, pronouns, social status... we all feel this way about ourselves. and alot of it is social conditioning in many different forms. be your unique self. in the end we all leave this earth so it is better to try to focus on the love we can have for ourselves... and no one else's opinion truly matters.
are these women all middle aged? ouch... i'm 38 and apparently in denial, that one stung.
Jesus loves you, God bless you
Ariel is such a natural model! She just gets it - the angles and poses. She exudes confidence and light and I just want to keep looking - magnetic. 😍
Ned, is that you? 😉
And the fact that she exudes the confidence so well, even when she isn't feeling that confident, is truly a natural talent. Or she is a leo lol
They all are 😍💓💓
Indeed
I remember just looking at Instagram like: FUCKING FIERCENESS ALL AROUND
I uploaded my Face Reveal.....
Cheering whenever Ariel comes on and skipping if I see Ned
saaame tbh i love her personality so much more and shes glowing in this video, i hope she doesnt feel even more insecure now :(
What’s adding to making me feel sick is that the other woman was on set producing this video and can be seen in a few clips.
rewatching old mostly Nedless videos and whenever he comes on screen I just go "Wait? Who is that? Weird" 😂
when I rewatching try guys old video i just look away whenever i see ned
Ned… you gave up a fucking GODDESS
I feel like moms do a lot of beauty shoots before/during pregnancy, but this is the first one I've seen celebrating the beauty of women after pregnancy. This should be thing that happens more often
I actually never thought about that before, you're so right!
@@alexisfuller1503 1q1QqW2
When Ariel and Rachel were talking about how bad they felt about the pictures at the beginning of the video I literally gasped. They looked AMAZING!
Same! It's so sad that we women do this to ourselves too..
I would kill for a body as nice as theirs.
It's true! I definitely had to remind myself that being in LA and being in show business they get a quadruple whammy of "beauty standards BS" shoveled on them every day. It's hard not to judge someone for these kind of insecurities when they're all thinner than I've ever been, but everyone has their own journey and their own insecurities to overcome.
My wife gave birth to our first child in January. She has never been more beautiful to me. Every inch of her. You’re all amazing
@@lristau117 your body is great too and you can learn to love it also❤️❤️❤️ (a good first step imo is body neutrality!)
Ariel's work has added so much beauty, realism, and positivity to the world. I miss seeing her, I will watch any content she chooses to create anytime.
8:16 Alex in the back looking at pictures of Ariel in such a vulnerable moment is just so bad. I don’t understand how you can do this to another human (that you know so well)!
What’s so wild about this is when they are picking out the pictures each woman is hyping up the others but tearing themselves down. All the other two are seeing is positives “omg look at your face! Look at how perfect your boobs are!” And then it’s them saying how insecure those things make them. And it’s like…if we all started treating ourselves like we would our friends there would be far less damage done to ourselves.
+
such an underrated comment
thiss
Sadly most women get taught to tear themselves down through life and media. I agree we need to start treating ourselves as we treat others
There was a phrase that my therapist told me that really helped: you have to be your own friend. If someone spoke to your friends the way you talk to yourself, would you rush to defend them?
Rachel talking about remaining a whole person as her kids grow up and become their own people is honestly the message I think every mom needs to hear. You are still your own person, and you have the right to take care of yourself as one.
I'm not yet a mom but I think that is the most precious advice I will always remember when I happen to be one.
Right!? I was like “geez Rachel is so wise!”
Agree, my mom did not and I don't wish it to anyone :(
Rachel's quite about how she wants her kids to become their own person while she holds onto her identity so that she doesn't feel like a shell of herself when the kids grow up is such an amazing quote. I hope all parents feel like that 🤍
I don't think this is necessarily about conventional beauty standards, I think it's about the psychological struggle to get to know and love your body again after pregnancy. Obviously these women are stunning and quite thin, but I think it's about more than their size. They have just watched their bodies completely transform inside and out. Pregnancy and childbirth are the most incredible feats the human body can go through, and it's NOT pretty. When the redhead was talking about having to hold her stomach so her organs wouldn't shift!? Imagine how hard it is to see yourself and your body the same way after experiencing something like that. How hard must it be to see your body as your own after spending 9 months giving it away completely to the process of growing your child? I think that's part of the reason it was so hard for these stunning women to see how beautiful their bodies were and why they were so harsh on themselves. It was heartbreaking to see, but I'm glad they opened themselves up to be so vulnerable.
You ladies killed it!! So beautiful 🥺❤️ Loved working on this project. Hope everyone can find the confidence and beauty in themselves 🥰
This video was so lovely, and your editing was perfect ❤
Aww YB
YB, you did an unbelievably extraordinary job editing this video. I hope people appreciate that.
When Rachel talked about not wanting to end up an empty vessel when her children grow up and live their lives I cried. So relatable!
I cried too
Same
Yeah I already know that’s going to be me 😭
My daughter is turning 16 and I'm so scared for her to be 18. Who will I be? I'm a mom that's my identité. I don't like who I was before her
Saaaaaaame! Came here to say this.
Ned really just lost the most interesting thing about himself, this woman was his whole personality 🥶
The fact that these women are literally the weight and beauty standards in our society thinking they aren’t really pretty makes my heart cry. They are literally stunning. Here I am weighing in at 215.6 and feeling like a whale
Because it's not about the weight. It's about your own mental health and self worth and confidence. I have always been overweight, but I actually hated myself the most when I was at my smallest. I've gained weight during the pandemic for several reasons, but I'm finding it easier to be kind to myself. I really started projecting my confidence after an incident at school. I'm a teacher, and during my first year I put back some of my lunch and told another teacher I was on a diet. A 6th grade girl heard me and she said "but you're already beautiful" with the sweetest puppy-dog eyes. From then on, I never mentioned anything related to dieting or said anything negative about my body. Partly for myself but mostly because I don't want to be a bad role model to these young kids. My mom complained about her body so much and it affected me greatly. I actually started saying "I know" with a smirk when my students give me compliments. It kinda started as a joke, but they love it and I make them say it back when I compliment them. We should be lifting each other up, you know? So again, it's not about the weight. It's easier said than done, but try to be kind to yourself
@@GingerLadies this is so inspiring
@@GingerLadies Thank you for taking such good care of your students. 💛
@@GingerLadies This made me smile - I love the dynamic you and your students have! i personally couldn't stand this video, because these women are gorgeous and able-bodied, and I am neither of those things... which made me feel all kinds of envy, and remember the unkind things i've been told about my body my whole life. I like that your students aren't like the other students in my classes were - that the next generation is hopefully kinder to each other than ours is, and the previous one was... hopefully they can extend that kindness to themselves too.
Fr, I wish I was curvy like Ariel😭
Just saying, we are gonna need merch that reads "I'm just a human person...who really likes pizza"
Yessss! Now that's something I would purchase! Love it.
!!!!
Yes. We stand for pizza.
Tell me you're a millenial without telling me you're a millenial xddd
I never felt more emotional than when she said this line :')
Not me crying in Starbucks listening to Rachel talk about not wanting to be “a shell of a human” when her daughters grow up. Wow. Thanks for this video, ladies. Also, looks like these photos were taken on an all-woman set, which is 💯
I noticed that!! The energy during the photoshoot was so incredibly fun and empowered
🙋♀️ Me too! Crying as I type this. We just became empty-nesters a few weeks ago, when our only child moved into his college dorm. It’s disorienting, *not* taking his schedule or preferences into account in our daily lives anymore. I’m trying to focus on treating myself well, taking myself for walks in the crisp fall air, learning something new every day, etc. It’s so weird to know I’m a mom, but have essentially no day-to-day responsibilities related to my child. (Not that I really have for the past couple of years - he’s quite independent. But it feels different.) Rachel, I *so* relate to your desire for your kids to think you’re at least a little bit cool, someday. I’m thinking that this may happen for me in a couple of decades…or maybe it won’t. But I’ve certainly been thinking a lot about how cool and strong and smart and kind my mom was. She died almost a year ago, and I still miss her every single day. All the moms look amazing in the photos! I love Rachel’s sassiness, especially ❤️💐
God she's so beautiful. Way too good for him. On another note, it's a good thing that Ned showed his true colors while she's young, she has a beautiful life ahead of her that doesn't have to include someone who didn't treat her properly.
Seeing these gorgeous women worry about their insecurities really shows that everyone feels this way. It's comforting to know that I'm not alone
The channel may be "Try Guys" but over the years, the actual try guys have expanded and given their platform for other stories and narratives that are important. Outstandingly generous. I'd love to see more. I'd recommend a video about Maggie as a nurse and healthcare worker in the pandemic.
Wonderful input
I thought I was the only one thinkin bout that. Yes, Maggie and tribute to all the front liners workin their asses to keep everyone safe and healthy.
After finding out last week that Jonathon is randomly that person that’s just good at everything (aka, a Eugene), we’ve also discovered that Ariel is also secretly, a Eugene
Ned is dating the female version of Eugene - Ariel is also very competitive (as seen in earlier videos :D)
This makes me sad after finding out what happened. How awful can someone be to do that to this sweet girl, her family, and the fiancé.
I still don't get how Ned could cheat on his gorgeous and wonderful wife..Ariel truly deserves someone better than Ned.
Me: almost crying over Rachel's speech in the car. Rachel: "i'm a human person...Who likes pizza Me: INSTANTLY DIES.
They’re all so gorgeous, it’s so sad that they don’t see it.
A,en
What Ariel said about seeing the photos is really true for me. I remember one time trying on a super beautiful yellow dress and then going for a hike with it on. I felt so beautiful out in the sun and thought it was my new favorite outfit. Until I saw photos my mom took of me from that day and all I could think was how big my calves looked. I haven't worn that dress since.
bust out that dress! put on some cute shoes and accessories. enjoy it with your beautiful calves girl! you deserve to feel beautiful, and the only opinion that matters is your own
sameee! but we’re all beautiful 💗
Remember how you felt wearing that dress and nothing else matters!
i always blame the photographer! xD maybe your mom just doesnt know how to take good photos! i honestly think there's truth in blaming the photographer though because if you've ever had a REALLY good one who knows their stuff you definitely do not come out looking bad
@@Helica123 definitely true. But my mom is a professional photographer lol. She has one of those expensive cameras and everything. She doesn’t specialize in photographing people though, so maybe that’s it
I remember I saw a video where this girl said whenever she looks at her photos and it didn't turn out too great, she'd think to herself "it's just a bad photo and I'm a beautiful person". And that's really true, to take a "perfect" photo, it would require a lot of elements, like the lighting, the color, the saturation, and so much more. Plus it's only a 2D representation of us, it's not going to truely showcase how we truly look irl. So trust and love yourselves guys and gals ❤ you're amazing.
This is so true. Almost everyone looks better in video rather than photos, because a lot of our human beauty is in movement and expression. Having a perfectly curated expression for a still image is not something we’re used to judging.
The way Rachel talks about how her wish for her kids is to see these photos back and get inspired with how she lived this moment made me tear up. I grew up with an overly critical mother who always had something to say about everything that I did or looked, and this entire video felt so comforting for me and encouraging to love myself more. Thank you ladies for putting yourself out there, you are so inspiring for all women and girls. 💙
YES! She said that and I went back and listened again so I could commit it to memory! It's going to be a mantra for me now.

"I grew up with an overly critical mother who always had something to say about everything that I did or looked" Girl, SAME. Even now, my mother will not think twice about calling my cousin a "chubbette" behind her back and it drives me insane wondering what she says about ME behind MINE. Hugs, hugs, and more hugs to you.
normally not this early but seeing how this new vid discusses about moms’ still feeling insecure after giving birth breaks my heart. they’re all so beautiful & gorgeous!
I uploaded my Face Reveal.....
Oh man seriously. I'm a mother of two, and I am proud of my body for making babies, but I am so insecure of how I look. It's an awful feeling, but I am happy to have a video like this.
@@LightningSquad No one asked
Also helped little ole me who is not a mom but has a "momlike" body type
@@LightningSquad bro stop spamming the comment section, please no one cares.
Love to see how much people love Ariel’s photos, especially with her discomfort. After recent events… ❤
Holy shit, Alex being at the photo shoots while she was sleeping with Ariel’s husband 💀 I can’t.
its really heartbreaking honestly like... shes seeing this woman she was friends with be brutally homest about how she feels about herself after carrying two children and growing them in her body beautifully and just... kept sleeping with ariels husband
“I’m a human person who really likes pizza.” Honestly. Preach. Please.
Ariel and Rachel talking about their tummys was so sad. They need to realize this is how MOST women look. I'm almost 30 with no kids and my stomach looks like that! And I'm a slim person. It's natural to have a little pooch lol. Personally I think it's cute.
Everyone has a little belly but afab people in specifically have a little tummy because that's where your uterus is, it's up realistic to not have *any* stomach because you have stuff in there
My husband is SO skinny (still sexy as hell to me) and even has rolls on his stomach when he bends over. I try to remind myself of this but it's hard. Struggle with eating disorders and body dysmorphic disorder. I saw their beauty first, then they saw their flaws and it hit home. We all need to see ourselves how we see others. I would never pick apart another person's body the way I do mine. Weird thing.
It IS cute! I'm a generally slender person but I have that little rounded lower tummy. My husband loves it, and every time I complain about it, he tells me I have no idea how elegant and beautiful that gentle curve is to him. Humans have curves, so humans like curves!
Well said! I also have no kids and my body has changed a lot in my 30s. We just have to learn to grow and love our bodies as they are!
I think something to remember about your body is that you get those lines, rolls and etc because that's how your body naturally moves and it's doing that to allow you to live the life that you do ☺️
Ariel is gorgeous, but more importantly, she is kind. Ned doesn’t deserve her.
Watching this after the recent news breaks my heart even more for Ariel.
I think Ariel’s cellulite in the photo that had the “unflattering” light is absolutely beautiful and that photo was stunning
I thought the same about Rachel’s photo that she hated- so beautiful...it also says something about love of her own body...and love is beautiful. ❤️❤️
Right she looked SOO good , like a goddess!
Same! I Love the photo! I don't think it looked bad at all! Also Rachel's photos on the board were great! I'm bigger than all of those women and it broke my heart to hear them talk about their bodies that way. They are all soooo gorgeous! 💕💕💕
I love the lighting and her legs looked amazing!!! I loved the pool girl concept
Me too!
Ok when Ariel said "I'm just disappearing." it made me cry because that's how I feel as a mom. Like who am I anymore? I loved this video and loved the thirst trap photos, so gorgeous ladies! Thank you for being so open and vulnerable with us all!
What the actual fuck Ned?😌
I hope Ariel comes back and does videos cus I love her
So glad that being out of BuzzFeed, we get to see content like this where we can hear what THEY THINK about the results of their content's production. It all feels so natural and positive to me.
As a plus size woman, listening to them talk about feeling really good about their bodies during the photo shoot, but then having second thoughts after hit really close to home. I’ve always had really bad insecurities when it comes to my stretch marks and huge boobs, stomach, and thighs. When someone tells me they think I’m pretty, I can’t even muster up a thank you, because I just can’t believe their words. I know they think that, but it’s so hard to see myself as someone worthy of being called “beautiful”. This video really made me emotional and I’m sure it’s going to help so many women out there feel more powerful in our bodies. Ariel saying that it’s not wishing we could go back, but loving ourselves as we are will always stick with me. Knowing such beautiful women also have trouble with this is awful, but in a way it makes me feel way less alone. Thanking you guys so much for putting yourselves out there and I hope you know you’re sharing an amazing message.
Agreed! I used to (back in my wild days) seek out validation from any man I could find because I had never had that throughout the majority of my life, and I hated my body, so hearing someone else compliment me/feeling wanted was all I prioritized... definitely would not recommend that route; try to learn to love and embrace and be gentle with yourself before jumping into anything romantic, because if you don't it leaves you vulnerable to/probably also not a stellar partner :( I endured many boundary over-steppings (some SAs) and many heartbreaks from getting too invested into people who gave me attention but treated me incredibly poorly. It really wasn't until I started to realize I deserved someone who treated me better and loved me rather than used and dumped me that I found the guy I consider my soulmate. Even then, it was rocky to say the least until I started in therapy and addressed my traumas, my insecurities, and my anxieties, but I also have mental health struggles that used to really exacerbate that. Hope you find a sense of self love
Shut up
I agree! It was hard at first to watch it but once I stepped back and checked myself, it was sooo good and on point.
What you said really hits home for me. My one friend is a photographer and I've done some photoshoots with her for fun. Each time, during the photoshoot I feel pretty and beautiful and happy. But every time I get the pictures back, I usually only see 1 or 2 that I actually think that I look ok in. And it means so much to me to know I'm not the only person that feels that way and is disappointed when they see the pictures of themselves where they thought they looked good
I’m infuriated, truly, I’m tired of comparing myself to other women and hating my body.
All about supporting Ariel!!!! ❤❤❤ no talk about anybody else just Ariel!!!! She deserves the world and all around a lovely human all on her own
They're all gorgeous. Beauty expectations are truly insane
i feel horrible that they don’t see how amazing they look in all of these
I uploaded my Face Reveal.....
It’s called fishing for compliments. Lol.

@@thomasblackcraft you clearly don’t, and will never understand, what it feels like to be a woman, and especially a mom.
@@thomasblackcraft not necessarily. After I had my son, I could only focus on the things I didn’t love about my body anymore. The stretch marks, the cellulite, etc. It’s really common for women, especially moms to focus on the changes in their bodies that they don’t like. I have this still and my son is 18 months.
I really like that their partners dont chime in here. It's just about those women as their own people and how they feel about themselves. Not about how others approve
when rachel commented on her pic where she was laying down and her stomach and boobs were just flat, i literally cried because i said that not 24 hours ago to myself while i was in bed, just having one of those insecure moments where i look at my stretch marks and want to rub them off, seeing body hair especially discolored under arms and just cry to let it out while everybody else is downstairs you know? it sucks because these women are all STUNNING! and so gorgeous and it sucks that they felt that way. i would absolutely LOVE if the moms did a body positivity series where they embrace different insecurities like body hair and belly fat etc. they're all so beautiful. this was a great episode
It's "our wiiiife" now.
This literally is how so many people feel. They look immediately at all the things they hate when in reality, most people would never notice! Im so glad they were candid and honest about those feelings because I've had the same exact experience taking cute pics of myself
You wrote everything I’d have wrote if I was gonna leave a comment 🤦🏽♀️
I think this basically perfectly summarizes it. Almost everyone feels that self-critical spotlight effect, regardless of gender, just with different expectations based on what you're "supposed" to look like. But in reality I was looking at these photos and thought they all had GREAT composition and looked super confident, and I'm sure people look at our photos the same way sometimes !
No wonder why Ned never shuts up about Ariel ‼️🤩
Seriously if she was my wife I would also make being her partner my entire personality trait she is an amazing lady inside and out.
Yes, she is a fox as well as smart and humble.
I love how the “model” was talking about photos we hate and we post them anyways. I’m very insecure about my cellulite on my legs and my stomach but it also brings a lot of confidence.
Honestly came back to this video for some empowering positivity after the mess that SNL left today
I love that their partners weren’t featured in this. Rachel’s outfits were amazing.
Yes!! Especially with these being “sexier” photos. Instead of being for the male gaze of their partners, this was ENTIRELY for them!
Definitely. At the same time, I would love to see Ned's reactions at some point - I think we might actually get to watch his brain melt in real time.
I love the way Rachel talked about being a whole person as her kids grown up. That was so motivating for me to do the same thing. I have a 3 year old and a 4 month old.
It reminded me of so many of my friends whose mums blame them for the fact that they stopped being their own women. They're not always bad people or bad parents, they just focused all of their energy in these other people and now they refuse to understand it's not the adult child's fault. I think it's incredibly important for mums to keep being other things than mums. I think ironically, it makes them better mums. If you have the opportunity to do things without the kids, to have someone babysit, go to that date, go have a spa day, go out and party for one night. Your children will have way easier transition to independance if you're not dependante on them to be happy ❤️ And that's one more advice on parenting from a stranger who has zero kids. I bet you don't get any of these as a mum lol (sarcasm)
I wish someone would've told me to take care of myself too. My son is now 26 and married and I am just now starting to find myself as a human being. I still have the sweat pant and baggy shirt days with a scrungy in my hair, but I am finding what kinds of clothes I like, what hairdos work for my hair, the makeup that looks good on my skin. so yes, keep yourself girl, so important for your self esteem.
Yes! I feel like no one talks about this bc it might seem like “oh you’re not giving all to your kid” when in reality it’s just like if you were in a relationship, you have to be a whole person in your own self.
I've seen many mom's who make their kids their entire lives. Then when they grow up, the mom's have nothing and end up either miserable or try to force their way into their kids lives in unhealthy ways. It's so important to never lose yourself
Ned fumbled BAD
It’s kinda crazy watching this after the mammogram episode. Knowing what Rachel has been through and seeing her issues with her body hits so much harder
It’s so sad that these women aren’t confident in their bodies. They’re all thin, and conventionally attractive, but they still aren’t happy. That’s genuinely devastating to me. I’m over 300lbs, and I love my body. I wish I could give them my confidence. It breaks my heart when ppl can’t see their own beauty 💜
I am overweight for my age. But as long as i have a functioning brain and heart, i am happy. But of course, i will still take care of myself.
As someone who weighs 200+, this video breaks my heart too. Especually, since they are all conventionally gorgeous. I would have loved to see someone my size too.
After a life-altering accident years ago I gained almost 150lbs. I’m nearing 300 now. I wish I could look like them, but then even they can’t see their bodies for what they are. It’s just sad how we as people hate our bodies so much and can’t appreciate them.
I know! I’m over 200lbs, but my weight has never affected my confidence or the way I see myself. I find other people with curvy bodies so attractive as well!!! It’s so sad that they can’t see themselves in that light :(
I'm kind of the opposite position. I've gained a lot of weight due to ankle and back injuries. About minute 13 I was feeling sort of angry and disappointed because they were showing themselves so much disappointment and "hate," and meanwhile I am working so hard to overcome hurdles just to get back to a size where I could take pictures like that and love them so much! In the meantime, I'll borrow some of your confidence :D :D
I’m not a mom or anything but just seeing their insecurities about their bodies and most woman’s insecurities being brought into a positive light is just so touching. When Ariel was talking about how she felt so gorgeous in the photos but then she looks back and sees herself and gets upset and embarrassed hits so close to home. I’ve felt like an idiot in past events because looking back on myself from outside my body is just so upsetting in cases where Ive tried to look pretty and felt that way too but then be absolutely buried alive with insecurities and shame. Recently I’ve found a new confidence in myself that i’ve never recognized before and though it doesn’t totally scrub away the cringing I get when looking at some photos of myself, I have a newfound love for being me. I’ve cried for hours and done so many impulse workouts because I felt horrible in my own skin enough where I wanted to tear it off. I’m so over normal bodies being bashed either by my own self or societies expectations of woman (or men.) I hate to sound cheesy but once you except yourself for the body you were given, love will start pouring in
I grew up hating my body, my family would always make comments like "you look so skinny, are you sick?" "why don't you eat?" "don't ever use a bikini, your ribs look nasty"... Truth is I do eat more than anyone in my family, I've been to the doctor countless times cause I get really paranoid whenever I lose even half a kg, the doctors even derived me to therapist because they say my body is well balanced and I should try to love it, to this day I hate to see my legs, I think they look like tooth picks, I hate to see my torso and belly, because I swear I can see my ribs poking out (even if I'm the only one that sees them) and it's really hard to even see my face in the mirror sometimes... So everyone has big insecurities and I do understand how incredibly hard it is to learn to love who you are and recognize your reflexion and go "this is me, and I love this person" for me right now it's "this is me, I'm trying really hard, and that's something..."
@@carolchavez5213 Sending big love to both of you 💕💕💕
I cannot FATHOM that anyone could view Ariel as anything less than perfect ever.
Well, this video and all of the supportive comments of Ned and Ariel's marriage aged poorly. Also, shame on you Alex! You and Ned are 1000% part of the problem.
Literally cried when the girls were talking about their insecurities. So completely relatable. "I am a human.... that loves pizza." Yasss girllll!
“I’m a human person… who really likes pizza” FUCK YES QUEEN GET THAT 🍕 YOURE STILL GORGEOUS
11:09 I love what Rachel said here
Watching this as I’m breastfeeding my daughter in my rocking chair. This hit home for me so much. Especially when they were talking about losing themselves in motherhood. I’m currently struggling with that myself. It’s especially hard to do things for myself when I live in a culture that sees it as being a bad mom. I went to the beach with a friend of mine for a bit and overheard my father-in-law talking shit about it being like, “Yeah she went without her daughter. Idk what these moms are thinking nowadays.” Mind you that was the first and only time I ever did that and she was with her dad. After that anytime I left the house without my daughter even just to pick up something from the store, he’d ask me, “You’re leaving without the baby.” Yes! She’s with her dad and I’ll be back in ten minutes. I’m not the only parent! Sorry rant over.
Kind of a late reply but keep it up girl! Maybe tell your partner he's saying stuff like that too. Moms are allowed to have alone time too 👍
Ned does not deserve this beautiful person jesus chrisy
Rachel‘s monologue about not becoming an empty shell over the care for a child is so important. I always wonder which role the fathers take, because it seems like the most care work is still done by the moms.. no one should become less of a person just because they gave birth and have to care for their kids all the time
That part is so important. But I cried. I became chronically ill when I became a mom, and with the birth of my second child my condition worsened. It really hit home, because I am a shell now. I can’t even read or help loved ones the way I loved to before dealing with many chronic issues. So I really hope this Vick’s for others who are more able, and don’t have to completely lose themselves. ❤️🙏🏻🤞🏻
Hmmm my mom was addicted to work and making money. My dad did all the care work. You don’t have to bring dads down to show the sacrifices most mothers make for their kids.
@@breadgenie4021 True. In a perfect world I'm sure both parents carry the workload in taking care of the kids. But that's a far cry to the world we're living. Also, let's not bring "roles" into this. All genders should not have roles to fulfill because we're all different people.
I love how Ariel is just as extra as Ned is, but in a slightly different way
YES!
Just as extra, but keeping it classy
As a black women, trust me when I say lighting is everything
What does this have to do with you being black?
The way your complexion is picked up by the camera can be the difference between you looking dead or alive
it breaks my heart that they don’t feel confident in their own bodies, they are all beautiful and have amazing bodies, not just for being mothers, but just in general
