Ethan Klein speaks out after wife Hila’s explosive affair allegations as couple face separation
The YouTuber and H3 Podcast co-host addressed the controversy online, hours after Hila made her allegations public
Ethan Klein has issued his first public statement after his wife, Hila Klein, accused him of infidelity and announced their separation, asking for privacy as questions emerge over their relationship and shared businesses.
The YouTuber and H3 Podcast co-host addressed the controversy through Instagram Stories on October 23, hours after Hila made her allegations public.
“I know a lot of people are understandably looking for a comment from me, but I ask that you please respect my family’s privacy and do not contact them looking for me or asking for their comments,” Ethan wrote.
He added that his family members were not involved in the situation and shared the public’s outrage and disappointment.
In a subsequent statement, Ethan said he was working with Hila to urgently remove his ownership and financial interests from their joint ventures, including the H3 Podcast, Teddy Fresh and Teddy Glow.
Hila made her allegations in an Instagram post on October 22.
She claimed Ethan had initially dismissed her concerns before admitting to an affair that she alleged had lasted more than six months.
She also said she was uncertain whether she knew the full extent of the relationship.
Hila confirmed that she was navigating separation and co-parenting their three sons, adding that her immediate priority was caring for herself and her children.
The H3 Podcast crew also responded, stating that its members would no longer work with Ethan or profit from his involvement.
The team expressed support for Hila and described its reaction to the developments as shocked and heartbroken.
Ethan had announced an indefinite hiatus for the H3 Podcast shortly before the allegations became public.
The show’s future remains uncertain amid the couple’s separation, the proposed business changes and the crew’s decision.
