Ethan Klein and Hila Klein’s marriage has hit a rough patch.
The 38-year-old fashion designer, who co-hosts and co-founded H3 Podcast with her 41-year-old YouTuber husband, took to her official Instagram handle on Friday, October 23, to release a bombshell statement, accusing Ethan of having an affair.
In the statement, she revealed that Ethan had been involved in an extramarital affair for six months, prompting her to part ways from him.
Following the accusations, Ethan took to his Instagram Stories to break silence on the allegations, asking fans to respect his family’s privacy and noting that he is working to “urgently remove” his ownership and financial stakes from all the projects he co-owns with his wife.
“I know a lot of people are understandably looking for a comment from me, but I ask that you please respect my family's privacy and do not contact them looking for me or asking for their comments. They have nothing to do with this and share in your outrage and disappointment. Thank you,” he wrote.
The YouTuber continued, “One final comment: I am working with Hila to urgently remove my ownership and financial stakes in any podcasts, Teddy Fresh, Teddy Glow or any joint venture that I would profit from. All of your support will go directly to Hila and the crew. I do this in the hope that people can still support Hila and the Crew without the concern of enriching me.”
He added, “I know the crew will make an awesome show, they are packed to the brim with the most talented, creative, hilarious and all around great people.”
Notably, after the affair allegations, H3 Podcast crew sided with Hila Klein, announcing an indefinite hiatus as they refused to work if Ethan stayed involved in the production.
