In today’s world, posting personal details online opens one up to criticism, and that’s exactly what Matt and Brittany Montgomery faced. The couple, who loves to share snippets of their life together, have been subjected to harsh comments, primarily due to their physical differences. Brittany, a plus-size woman, has struggled her entire life to find acceptance.
Growing up with controlling parents, she never felt protected or valued, which led her to develop insecurities about her appearance. Unfortunately, her dating life reflected her inner turmoil; she often faced men who either fetishized her body or pressured her to lose weight.
When Brittany met Matt in August 2020, however, everything changed. Despite the differences in their physiques, their connection was immediate and powerful.
Matt, though initially hesitant because of past experiences with relationships where weight was an issue, quickly realized that Brittany was his soulmate. The two fell in love, and on January 30, 2022, Matt proposed, and they began planning their future together.
Their relationship hasn’t been without its challenges. Matt admits that they’ve faced harsh comments on social media, with some people suggesting that he isn’t «man enough» for Brittany. They’ve even experienced stares when walking down the street. Yet, Matt’s unwavering love for Brittany has never wavered. He continually reassures her of her worth, telling her that she deserves love every single day. «The way you look at me, I can tell we were meant to be together,» he says. The couple’s determination to stay true to each other, regardless of societal opinions, is a beautiful example of love conquering all.
Today, they continue to push for acceptance of all body types in relationships. Brittany dreams of a world where mixed-weight relationships are the norm, and she wishes that people would stop judging others based on appearance.
The couple is also expecting their second child, Lakelyn, in September 2023. Their story is a powerful reminder that love isn’t about appearance; it’s about connection and mutual respect. In a world full of superficial judgments, their love stands as a testament to the beauty of embracing one another as we are.
