Try Guys producer Alex Herring’s ex-fiancé – who was having an affair with married Try Guy Ned Fulmer – raised a glass to his bachelorhood back on Instagram after his engagement was called off over the scandal.
Will Thayer was spotted on his friend Steven Cuzzort’s Instagram page apparently toasting the end of his relationship.
‘Ma bois back in town. When you know you know,” the caption reads.
Pictures of Fulmer and Herring were posted online by Thayer after a clubgoer contacted Thayer because he saw Fulmer and Herring making out at a club in New York City.
The club-goer contacted a Reddit user who appears to be Herring’s fiancé, Will Thayer. He then released the messages he received to prove Fulmer and Herring had been making out.
Fulmer, 35, is married to Ariel Fulmer, who has appeared frequently on the YouTube show, which has more than eight million subscribers. The couple also co-hosted a podcast called Baby Steps — a candid look at how they’re raising their “Instagram-worthy family.” The couple have two boys together.

Try Guys began in 2014 when members, then employees of Buzzfeed, began creating content focused on trying new things

While the posts on Reddit only show snapshots from the video and not the videos themselves, apparently that was enough for Thayer to conclude that his fiancé Fulmer had been unfaithful.
Thayer then said he spoke to Fulmer’s wife Ariel about the allegations for an hour before deleting all pictures with Herring from his Instagram and making his account private.
Much of this appeared to be unproven speculation until the Try Guys recently released an official statement on their Instagram confirming that Fulmer was no longer with the group.
‘Ned Fulmer is no longer working with The Try Guys. As a result of a thorough internal review, we see no common way forward. We thank you for your support in managing this change,” the statement said.
Fulmer released his own statement on Tuesday night, which read: “Family should always have been my priority, but I’ve lost focus and had a consensual relationship at work. I’m sorry for any pain my actions have caused the boys and the fans, but most importantly Ariel.
“The only things that matter right now are my marriage and my kids and that’s what I’m going to focus on.”
Up until earlier this month, the couple was seen over their content. They’ve previously been happy to commodify their seemingly perfect personal life and co-host a podcast called Baby Steps — they even launched a cookbook together last year called The Date Night Cookbook.
According to Fulmer, Ariel released one of her own which read: “Thank you to everyone who has reached out to me – it means a lot to me. Nothing is more important to me and Ned than our family and all we ask now is that you respect our privacy for the sake of our children.’

Before the affair was confirmed and Fulmer fired from the company, online speculation about the extramarital scandal abounded for days.
It’s unclear if Alex Herring remains an associate of the Try Guys, a group formed at Buzzfeed in 2014 when the four men, including Fulmer, Keith Habersberger, Zach Kornfeld and Eugene Lee Yang, began making videos of themselves where they tried new things.
Herring starred in a separate YouTube show called Food Babies, but also served as a producer for the Try Guys.
Fans of the show noticed something was suspicious when Fulmer didn’t appear in recent Try Guys videos, missed podcast episodes, and even appeared to be cut from some videos.
Ariel also missed the final episodes of You Can Sit With Us, a podcast made up of all the Try Guys women.
