The Try Guys have cut ties with one of their four founding members after he admitted to having a 'workplace relationship' while married.

Racking up more than 7.8 million subscribers on YouTube, Keith Habersberger, Ned Fulmer, Zach Kornfeld and Eugene Lee Yang have long entertained fans with videos of them, well, trying.

The group has tested out entire menus at restaurants, nail extensions, Alaskan dog sledging and a machine that simulates the pain of giving birth, having originally started out while working at BuzzFeed before creating their own channel in 2019.

Recently, fans started to notice that Fulmer wasn't appearing in The Try Guys' videos, on Instagram or in recent podcasts.

The reason for his absence became clear yesterday (27 September), when Fulmer and the remaining Try Guys shared separate posts announcing his departure from the group.

In a post on Twitter, Fulmer indicated he'd had a relationship with someone other than his wife as he wrote: "Family should have always been my priority, but I lost focus and had a consensual workplace relationship. I'm sorry for any pain that my actions may have caused to the guys and the fans but most of all to [wife] Ariel.

"The only thing that matters right now is my marriage and children, and that's where I am going to focus my attention."

Ariel addressed the situation in a statement on her own Instagram account, where she thanked 'everyone who has reached out' to her in the wake of the revelation.

“Nothing is more important to me and Ned than our family,” she wrote. “All we request right now is that you respect our privacy for the sake of our kids.”

As the remaining members of the group, Habersberger, Kornfeld and Lee shared a statement which confirmed Fulmer is 'no longer working with The Try Guys'.

It continued: "As a result of a thorough internal review, we do not see a path forward together. We thank you for your support as we navigate this change."

The Try Guys marked the departure of Fulmer by changing the company profile picture to an orange dinosaur logo rather than cartoon drawings of the four members. On Twitter and Instagram, Fulmer has been unfollowed by the Try Guys accounts.

The group first rose to fame in 2014, when a video they filmed at BuzzFeed, titled 'Guys Try Ladies’ Underwear for the First Time', went viral.
