Brittany has struggled her entire life to feel accepted and included. Her controlling parents never made her feel secure, often leaving her feeling empty after conversations. This led to self-consciousness and a dislike for her appearance. As a plus-size woman, she encountered two types of men: those attracted to her curves and those who wanted her to lose weight. A string of bad dating experiences almost led her to give up on finding love.
However, fate had other plans. In August 2020, Brittany met Matt Montgomery online. Despite their different body types, their spirits were deeply connected. “I was a bit hesitant at first,” Brittany admitted. “In past relationships, guys threatened to break up with me if I didn’t start dieting. It really affected my confidence.”

Despite any initial doubts, Matt and Brittany knew they were deeply in love. On January 30, 2022, Matt proposed, and they began planning their future together. They were aware of how others might perceive their relationship. “In response to comments on my Instagram photo, people suggest that I’m not big enough or man enough for her,” Matt said. “I do notice people staring when we walk down the street,” he added.
Despite external criticism, their love remains unwavering. Matt found it challenging to interact with women of “normal” size in the past. He realized Brittany was his soulmate because of how she made him feel. He is committed to ensuring her happiness because he loves her unconditionally.
Recently, he expressed his love for her, saying, “You are worthy, deserving of infinite love every single day, and more. I can tell we were meant to be together by the way you look at me and feel the same way I do about you.” This affirmation of their connection showcases his deep affection for Brittany.

Matt often posts pictures of himself and Brittany, captioning them with offensive remarks others have made about mixed-weight couples. This powerful gesture triumphs over skepticism and highlights their strong bond. The couple hopes to normalize relationships between people of different sizes. “I hope mixed-weight relationships become more common and accepted as the norm,” Brittany expressed.
The couple recently announced they are expecting their second child, Lakelyn, due in September 2023. We extend our heartfelt wishes for their happiness and well-being.
When it comes to finding true love and following your heart, nothing is set in stone. Matt and Brittany’s story is a testament to the power of love and staying true to oneself.
