Personal Life

On May 9th, 2019, ProJared's now ex-wife Heidi O'Ferral claimed that Jared and Holly had been in a secret relationship for months.[1] This news came roughly six months after Ross and Holly announced that they would be separating in September 2018. Holly later stated in response to this that she would be leaving Twitter for a while, and marked her account as Protected for a while. It was stated by ProJared on Twitter that she had allegedly been in a polyamorous relationship with him that Heidi at first consented to, but later changed her mind on, though Heidi later denied the claim.
