Three months after marking their 10-year wedding anniversary, American interior designer and content creator Ariel Fulmer was sent a photo of her husband by one of his fans. It blindsided her.
“It was like my brain couldn’t compute,” she told her estranged husband Ned Fulmer, with whom she shares two children, overnight, in her first public remarks since the public implosion of her marriage three years ago.
“For some reason, I couldn’t see what was actually there,” Ariel continued. “I thought it was your sister. And I remember sending it to you and being like, ‘What’s your sister doing in New York?’”
The woman cosying up to Ned in the photo was not his sister. It was a then-31-year-old employee of The Try Guys, the entertainment group and media production company that Ned, then aged 35, had founded in 2014 with three former BuzzFeed colleagues.
