Hila Klein, who has been married to the influencer for 14 years, has exposed her “nightmare” that made her question her own “sanity”.

The 38-year-old accused her husband of the ‘betrayal’ today (23 Oct), as reported by What’s The Jam.
The accusation came just hours after Ethan took to social media to state that the popular H3 Podcast – hosted by himself and his wife – is now on an “indefinite hiatus”.
Since the bombshell was dropped by Hila, who has three children with the prominent YouTuber, the podcast has come out in support of her.
Hila Klein stated on Instagram: “I am living in a nightmare I can’t wake up from.
“My husband has been having an affair.

“I have been fed lie after lie after lie for months. I am tired of lies. Here is the truth.
“I could sense something was wrong. I tried to ask him questions and share my concerns and hurt feelings.
“But I was met with dismissive answers and no action. Things that bothered me continued to bother me, and he did nothing about it.

“So I trusted him. Because I loved him. I stopped questioning him and began to question myself, my own instincts. My sanity.
“Eventually, he was caught in a lie, and I knew I was done.
“But the lies continued. “It was just a kiss” became “it was emotional cheating.” After I dragged these lies from him, he finally admitted he’d been in an affair for over 6 months, the extent of which I’m sure I still don’t know.
“The betrayal I feel is immeasurable. The person I loved and trusted for 20 years evaporated overnight.
“He was my safe place, my partner in marriage, parenting, and business.
“My only family on this side of the world.
“How do I even begin to make sense of this?
“I don’t know what comes next; I’ve never been here before.
“ I am in survival mode, trying to navigate separation, co-parenting, and unthinkable heartbreak.
“All I can do right now is focus on taking care of myself and my children, one day at a time.
“You’re not crazy. Trust your instincts. Trust yourself.
“If you’re not being treated right, get up and leave.”
The pair who have been together for over 20 years live in a six bed mansion in Bel Air, Los Angeles, California.
Hila, originally from Tel Aviv, Israel became a naturalised US citizen in 2019.
The couple host a successful podcast together which boasts over 2.51m subscribers on YouTube.
A spokesperson for the H3 Podcast wrote: “We are all shocked, angry, and heartbroken to learn about Ethan’s ongoing affair.
“As soon as we found out, we all agreed: we would not continue working with Ethan involved or profiting in any way.
“We don’t yet know what that means for the future.
“There’s a lot to work through, and we wish we had more answers for you.
“We stand with Hila and will support her every step of the way.
“We’re disgusted by Ethan’s actions and the hurt he has caused.
“We all deserved better: Hila, us, and you.
“Please know that we’re safe, we’re sticking together, and we’re looking after each other.
“We’ve put so much of ourselves into this show, and it’s hard to find the words for what we’re feeling right now.
“Thank you for giving us some time to figure things out, and for all the love you’ve shown us.
“We love you, and we miss you already.”
Ethan has been approached for comment through his company, H3.
