Ned and Ariel tied the knot in 2012 and have two children together, Wesley and Finn.
Originally a quartet, The Try Guys was formed in 2014 when Ned and his former colleagues, Zach Kornfeld, Eugene Lee Yang and Keith Habersberger made their first video together for Buzzfeed. They launched an independent YouTube channel in 2018 after leaving said online media company.
The remaining members of the comedy group, as well as The Try Guys’ official account, have unfollowed Ned on Instagram and Twitter since the announcement. JB
