How They Met and What Made the Relationship Different
Brittany said the biggest difference with Matt was feeling accepted from the start:
- She had been told in previous relationships that she would be dumped if she didn’t diet or slim down.
- Those experiences damaged her self-confidence and pushed her to try changing her body for others.
- She later realized she didn’t want to change herself to match someone else’s idea of beauty.
- Meeting Matt helped her feel loved for who she is, without conditions.
Matt’s Perspective: Confidence Was the Attraction
Matt, who weighs 140lb, said Brittany’s body-positive confidence stood out immediately. He explained that some of his past relationships with slimmer women struggled because they felt insecure about their bodies.
Matt emphasized:
- He would never ask Brittany to change her body.
- He wanted her to eat what she wants and be happy, without pressure or calorie tracking.
Marriage, Family, and a New Baby Boy
The couple’s relationship moved quickly:
- They hit it off on their first date.
- They later married midway through 2021.
- They recently expanded their family with the birth of their baby boy, born in March.
On their shared Instagram account @themontgomeryss, they posted updates after the birth, including:
- A photo carousel captioned “Purest of love” announcing their newborn.
- Images showing the baby sleeping on a grey knitted blanket, wearing a matching grey beanie with ears.
- A close-up photo of the baby’s face.
- Videos showing parts of the birth process and Matt’s reaction to meeting his son.
In May, they also shared a porch photo captioned “Just like our first date but post baby.”
Facing Online Criticism and Public Stares
Despite the joy, the couple says they still face negativity—mostly online:
- Matt said people sometimes stare when they walk down the street.
- Online trolls have commented that he is “not big enough” or “not man enough” for Brittany.
