When we share our lives online, we inevitably face criticism and prejudice.
That’s exactly what Matt and Brittany Montgomery, a young couple proudly sharing their relationship on social media, have experienced.
Their relationship has received negative comments, but their response became a powerful reminder of the importance of staying true to your beliefs.
Matt and Brittany’s story is in many ways ordinary — they met, fell in love, and quickly began building a life together.
But their relationship stands out due to one aspect: Matt is significantly taller than Brittany.
Brittany has struggled all her life to feel accepted.
She grew up with overprotective parents, which often left her feeling drained and insecure.
This lack of support led to body image issues.
As a plus-size woman, Brittany encountered two kinds of men: those who wanted her to lose weight, and those who fetishized her body.
These experiences left her hopeless and doubtful that real love was possible.
But fate had other plans.
In August 2020, Brittany met Matt Montgomery online.
Despite their physical differences, their souls deeply connected.
Their love was strong and unshakable, and on January 30, 2022, Matt proposed to Brittany.
They immediately started planning their life together.
The couple feels comfortable with each other but understands how others perceive them.
Matt has spoken about the negative comments they receive online.
“People comment on Instagram, implying I’m not tall or masculine enough for her,” he said.
“I see the looks we get when we walk down the street.”
Despite the criticism, Matt and Brittany’s love remains solid.
Matt had struggled in previous relationships with “average-sized” women, but Brittany made him feel truly loved and valued.
He is determined to make her happy and recently expressed his feelings openly:
“You are worthy. You deserve endless love every single day and more.
The way I look at you and how I feel about you, and the way you look at me and feel about me — that proves we are meant for each other.”
In a powerful statement to their critics, Matt posts photos with Brittany, pairing them with hateful comments left by others to highlight the strength of their relationship.
This public gesture is a brilliant response to doubters and underscores their commitment to each other.
The Montgomerys aim to normalize relationships between people of different body types.
Brittany shared her hope that “relationships between people of different sizes become more common and accepted.”
Just a month ago, the couple announced they are expecting their second child, Lakelyn, in September 2023.
We wish them all the best for their growing family.
Finding true love and seeking happiness shouldn’t be limited by rigid standards.
We should all strive to accept and love each other — no matter what society says.
Please share this story with your friends and family, and let us know what you think of this inspiring couple!
