I’ve been obsessed with Aspyn Ovard since the YouTube days of yore, but recently, it’s not her vlogs that have me obsessively refreshing her social media profiles—it’s unhinged TikTok videos following the announcement of her shocking divorce from high school sweetheart and YouTube co-star Parker Ferris. Since the news of their split broke, the internet has gone wild with speculation. At first, Aspyn was set on keeping the details private, but a recent TikTok video completely flipped that narrative. Now, Apsyn is gracing our FYPs with equally cryptic and comedic videos about her separation.

I am desperate to satisfy my curiosity and know exactly what went down, but if I’m being honest, I am living for the discourse in the comments more than anything. Fans have a lot to say about how Aspyn is handling her breakup publicly. Some are supportive while others are questioning her motives, wondering why she’s spilling so many details. While I completely respect her boundaries and how much she is willing to share, I want to get to the bottom of it: Is Aspyn Ovard sharing too much? Let’s get into it.

The drama that’s unfolded so far

Whispers about Aspyn and Parker’s divorce started on TikTok just days after the birth of their third child, while Aspyn was recovering and her baby was in the NICU. Reddit threads blew up when users somehow got their hands on court documents about the divorce and posted them publicly. I can’t imagine the stress of recovering from giving birth and caring for a premature newborn while dealing with a divorce you want to keep private, only to have that choice taken away. While rumors swirled, there was no word from Aspyn or Parker to fuel the drama. Months later, Aspyn confirmed the speculation in the most on-brand way possible: a cheeky, very demure, very mindful TikTok. In the video, she “soft launches” her divorce, saying she won’t discuss the details online.

That was where things stood for a while. Aspyn touched on how the divorce impacted her mental health on her accounts but didn’t dive into why the relationship ended or any other details—until she dropped the TikTok heard ‘round the world. In a now-deleted video, she revealed that she had been lied to for a decade, constantly accused of cheating, and had carried both the mental and financial burdens of raising their kids and managing the household. Fans were quick to comment, asking why she decided to speak up now, and Aspyn explained it came down to a lie Parker told for years. The kicker? Many family members knew about this lie but never told her.

Since that video, Aspyn has been sharing lots of funny TikToks, alluding to further details of the divorce. One of the most popular videos came after her mother-in-law allegedly posted an Instagram story accusing Aspyn of sharing only one side of the story, threatening to unleash her “mama bear.” Aspyn has said that the silly videos help her cope, and the girls who get it get it. When it comes to what she posts on social media, “it’s just not that serious.”

What fans have to say about it

Like with any TikTok drama, my FYP has become a dumping ground for thoughts, theories, and opinions on Aspyn and Parker’s relationship. Fans are split—some loving Aspyn’s content, while others are confused but supportive, commenting things like, “I don’t fully understand what’s going on, but I’m having a great time.” Of course, there are the inevitable haters who think the whole situation is a PR stunt for views and money (a rumor Aspyn has shot down by saying she doesn’t need the money). Regardless of where people stand, everyone can agree they’re invested in the rollercoaster of emotions this drama has brought.

As an O.G. Aspyn fan and someone who incessantly overshares on Close Friends, I’m 100% here for her videos and hope she keeps posting them. However, I get why some fans are less enthusiastic. Sure, a shady caption or cryptic story might feel amazing at the moment and will likely generate supportive likes and comments from your followers. But once the dopamine rush fades, those same people probably won’t show up at your door with IRL support. They will, however, keep talking about it. But, as a veteran influencer, Aspyn is no stranger to the pros and cons of sharing her life online, and I have no doubt she can decide for herself when, what, and how much to say.

So, is she sharing too much?

Aspyn can post as much or as little of her personal life as she chooses, and just because you’re a fan doesn’t mean she owes you anything. That said, it’s human nature to be curious, especially when we’re fed juicy tidbits on TikTok. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to how much someone should share on social media, or even in their personal lives, after a breakup. Sharing too much can invite speculation, rumors, or unsolicited advice from the peanut gallery while sharing too little can feel like a lonely way to battle through grief.

Whether you think Aspyn is sharing too much or wish she would just drop a tell-all with every last detail, her post-divorce journey is hers to navigate. While we can enjoy her TikToks from afar, we don’t get a say in how she copes, so keep that in mind as you binge-watch all the videos she’s posted. As for us, we will be refreshing our feeds for the foreseeable, patiently awaiting more juicy details.
