The trio likely didn’t expect the internet to react this way
A YouTuber has found himself in the middle of a major online controversy after revealing that he is romantically involved with both a woman and her mother.
Nick Yardy, a 29-year-old content creator, shocked his audience when he announced that he was in a relationship with 22-year-old influencer Jade and her mother, Dani. To add to the shock factor, he claimed that both women were pregnant with his children.
Unsurprisingly, the internet had a lot to say. While some people reacted with curiosity, a large number of commenters expressed their disgust and disbelief.
Now, it’s worth noting that while the internet is full of wild stories, sometimes things that seem too outrageous to be true actually aren’t.
And in this case, Yardy himself has recently admitted as much.
Speaking to the Mail Online, he said: "There are no babies. It's just, like, a skit. It's not actually real."

"People that follow me, they're just looking for entertainment and I don't think they really believe it."
However, while the pregnancy claim may have been a stunt, Yardy insists that his relationship with both women is completely real.
The content creator, whose real name is Nicholas Hunter, stated that he, Jade, and Dani have been involved in a committed relationship for the past two years.
He said: "They are actually mother and daughter, and our involvement with each other is real. It's just that they're not actually pregnant. At least not yet."
Regardless of whether people believed the pregnancy stunt or not, the internet was quick to judge the trio’s relationship dynamic.
One social media user did not hold back, commenting: "This is just flat out disgusting omfg bring back shame."
Another Twitter user bluntly stated: "So either it's true and they are disgusting individuals. Or it's a fake story for OF, and they are still disgusting individuals."
A third person added their thoughts, simply saying: "Nothing to brag about, the whole thing is disgusting."
Meanwhile, another online observer took a step back and analyzed the situation with a more skeptical lens.

They remarked: "Ah, the tangled web of internet clout-chasing, don't you see? A man claims he pulled off the biological equivalent of a reality TV finale, and yet like all things in the age of viral deception the timeline doesn't quite add up."
"One month prior, no baby bumps. Now, an explosive double pregnancy? Sounds like someone's fishing for engagement, you know?"
"The real play here is obvious: shock value. Nothing lures people into the digital abyss of curiosity quite like an absurd story wrapped in scandal. And, of course, if there's an OF link involved."
Well, if nothing else, this serves as yet another example of just how bizarre internet culture can be. Maybe it’s time to log off for the day.
