Hila Klein says Ethan Klein had six-month affair as H3 crew cuts ties and podcast goes on hiatus

Hila Klein has publicly accused her husband, YouTuber and H3 Podcast host Ethan Klein, of having a monthslong affair, in a three-part Instagram statement posted early Friday 23 October.

“I am living in a nightmare I can’t wake up from. My husband has been having an affair… Here is the truth,” Hila wrote, according to USA Today. She said Ethan first denied the relationship, describing it first as “just a kiss” and then as “emotional cheating”, before admitting to an affair of over six months.

Hours earlier, on Thursday 22 October, Ethan announced on Instagram Stories that the H3 Podcast would go on an “indefinite hiatus”, thanking fans but giving no return date. On Friday the show’s crew posted a joint statement on its official Instagram saying they were “shocked, angry, and heartbroken”, that they would not continue “working with Ethan involved or profiting in any way”, and that they stood with Hila, per The Wrap and Dexerto.

Ethan has not publicly responded to the allegations, and USA Today says it has reached out to him for comment. The affair claim is Hila’s allegation and has not been independently confirmed, a point noted by Tribune.com.pk.

The couple met on a Birthright Israel trip in 2007 and married in October 2012; they have three sons. H3H3 Productions began in 2011 and the H3 Podcast has run since 2016, with about 2.51 million YouTube subscribers.
