In today’s digital age, sharing your life online comes with a price—exposure to unsolicited judgment. Matt and Brittany Montgomery know this all too well. By opening up about their relationship on social media, they’ve faced waves of criticism. But instead of backing down, they’ve responded with grace, wit, and a powerful message about self-worth and unconditional love.
Their love story is, at first glance, beautifully simple: two people find each other, fall in love, and build a life together. But what makes their journey stand out is the contrast in their appearance—Matt is significantly larger than Brittany, and that visual difference has become a lightning rod for internet trolls.
Brittany’s past paints a deeper picture of her strength. Growing up with overly critical and emotionally distant parents, she often felt drained and unwelcome in her own skin. Those experiences chipped away at her confidence, especially when it came to her body image. As a plus-size woman, her dating life was filled with frustration. She encountered men who either pressured her to lose weight or objectified her curves. Over time, the emotional toll of these encounters nearly convinced her that real love wasn’t meant for her.
But then came Matt—someone who saw her fully and loved her unconditionally. Together, they’re not just challenging societal expectations; they’re rewriting what love and acceptance truly look like.
But destiny had something different in store. In August 2020, Brittany met Matt Montgomery online—and from their very first conversations, something just clicked. Though they looked nothing alike physically, their souls connected in a way that felt rare and deeply genuine.
Brittany admitted she was cautious at first. “I was a bit hesitant,” she shared. “I’ve been in relationships where guys told me they’d leave if I didn’t start dieting or losing weight. It really hurt my confidence. I even started working out and trying to change my size—not for myself, but for them.”
Despite the emotional baggage from her past, love found a way. What Brittany and Matt shared quickly proved stronger than any insecurity. When Matt proposed on January 30, 2022, there was no hesitation—they began dreaming of their future as husband and wife. The connection they shared felt natural and easy, but they couldn’t ignore the judgment from the outside world.
Their love stands as a powerful testament to what truly matters—connection, not conformity. Matt and Brittany’s bond goes far beyond appearances, boldly challenging the narrow standards society so often imposes.
For Matt, past relationships with women who fit conventional beauty standards left him emotionally unfulfilled. It wasn’t until he met Brittany that he experienced what real, soul-deep love felt like. “You are worthy,” he once told her, “you are deserving of infinite love every single day and more. The way I look at you and feel for you—and the way you look and feel for me—is how I know we’re meant to be.” His words reflect not just affection, but unwavering commitment.
To take back the narrative, Matt cleverly responds to critics by using their harsh comments as captions for their photos—turning negativity into defiance, and hate into humor. Their love story has become more than personal; it’s become purposeful.
Together, they are working to break down stereotypes and normalize “mixed-weight” relationships. Brittany has expressed her hope that one day, these types of relationships won’t be viewed as unusual or controversial. “I just wish mixed-weight relationships were more common and more the norm,” she said. “People deserve to love and be loved—regardless of size.”
Their journey is more than romance—it’s a movement toward acceptance, visibility, and love without limits.
Last month, the young couple shared joyful news with their followers: they’re expecting their second child, a baby girl named Lakelyn, due in September 2023. This new chapter adds even more warmth and meaning to their already inspiring journey.
Matt and Brittany’s story is a beautiful reminder that real love isn’t defined by size, shape, or society’s expectations. It’s about finding someone who sees your worth, celebrates your presence, and walks beside you—no matter what the world says. Their journey encourages others to lead with compassion, embrace authenticity, and love without apology.
In a world that’s often quick to judge, the Montgomerys continue to rise above it all—proving that the strongest relationships are built not on appearance, but on trust, acceptance, and unwavering support.
