When we share our lives online, we open ourselves up to criticism. This is something Matt and Brittany Montgomery know all too well. They enjoy posting pictures of their life together on social media, but not everyone has been kind in their comments. Despite the harsh remarks, Matt and Brittany have responded with humor and grace, reminding us all of the importance of staying true to ourselves.
Matt and Brittany’s story is a beautiful one. They met, fell in love, and quickly started building a life together. But there’s one thing that makes their relationship stand out: Matt is much bigger than Brittany, and this difference has caught the attention of many.
Brittany has faced challenges throughout her life when it comes to feeling accepted. Her controlling parents didn’t provide the protection and support she needed, often leaving her feeling empty after their conversations. This caused Brittany to struggle with self-esteem and to feel unhappy with her appearance.
As a plus-size woman, Brittany had encountered two types of men: those who were drawn to her curves and those who wanted her to change her size. After many disappointing dating experiences, she started to believe that finding true love might be impossible for her.
But then, fate stepped in! In August 2020, Brittany met Matt Montgomery online. Despite their physical differences, their spirits connected deeply. “I was a little hesitant at first,” Brittany admitted. “In past relationships, guys threatened to break up with me if I didn’t start dieting or try to lose weight. It really affected my confidence, and I even tried working out to change my size.”
Despite her initial doubts, Brittany and Matt soon realized they were deeply in love. On January 30, 2022, Matt proposed, and they started planning their future together.
Even though they were comfortable with each other, they knew that others might not understand their relationship. “People comment on Instagram and say that I’m not big enough or man enough for her,” Matt said, addressing the remarks on his social media posts. “I also notice people staring when we walk down the street,” he added.
But no matter how many people criticized or misunderstood their relationship, Matt and Brittany remained strong in their love for each other.
Matt had also struggled in the past with dating women of “normal” size, but with Brittany, he felt something different and real. He knew she was his soulmate because of how she made him feel. “You are worthy, you are deserving of infinite love every single day and more,” Matt recently wrote, expressing his love for Brittany without holding back. “I know we were meant to be together by the way you look at me and feel the same way I do about you.”
In a powerful response to the critics, Matt posted a picture of himself and Brittany on social media, captioning it with some of the hurtful comments people had made about their relationship. It was a beautiful way to show the depth of their love and to silence the doubters.
Brittany and Matt hope to make relationships between people of different sizes more accepted. “I wish mixed-weight relationships were more common and more the norm,” Brittany said, expressing her hope for the future.
Recently, the couple shared some exciting news—they’re expecting their second child, a baby girl named Lakelyn, in September 2023. We wish them all the best!
In the end, finding true love and following your heart doesn’t have to follow any rules. We should all strive to love and embrace one another, no matter what.
