Matt Montgomery and Brittany Jacques are a couple who have faced their fair share of criticism and negativity from strangers. Despite the hate, they continue to share their love and happiness with the world, proving that size is just a number when it comes to love.
The couple met on Facebook three years ago and instantly connected. Brittany, a size 22 care worker, had struggled in previous relationships where men wanted her to change her appearance and lose weight. But Matt, a fitness trainer, was different. He accepted Brittany for who she was, and she finally felt confident and loved.

Matt had also dated skinnier women in the past, but they were insecure about their bodies. Brittany’s positivity and self-confidence were a breath of fresh air for him. “When I met Britt, she was so confident in her own body, I loved that about her,” he said.

However, when the couple started sharing their relationship on social media, they faced a barrage of negative comments. People criticized Matt for being too skinny for Brittany, saying he wasn’t “man enough” for her. But the couple refused to let the hate bring them down.
Matt wishes that mixed-weight relationships were more common and accepted. “I do notice people staring when we walk down the street, but most of the comments we have had have been online,” he said. Despite the criticism, the couple continues to share their happy moments and regular life updates on social media.

Brittany and Matt have proven that love knows no size. They have a happy and healthy relationship, and they’re proud to show it off. “There’s definitely this misconception that a fat person and a skinny person can’t be properly intimate or do things like start a family, but we’ve never had any issues,” said Matt. The couple is living proof that love conquers all, regardless of size or weight.
