Ethan Klein responds to Hila’s divorce filing with financial request weeks after announcing H3 exit
Weeks after Ethan Klein announced that the H3 Podcast was going on an ‘indefinite hiatus’, court documents reveal an update in his divorce proceedings with wife and long-time business partner Hila.
The pair share numerous joint businesses, including clothing line Teddy Fresh, makeup range Teddy Glow, and the popular and long-running H3 Podcast, which is hosted by Ethan.
Last month, Hila shocked fans when she shared a post on Instagram which claimed Ethan had been having ‘an affair for over six months’.
In the post, Hila went on to write: “I am in survival mode, trying to navigate separation, co-parenting, and unthinkable heartbreak.”

Since filing for divorce, court documents obtained by TMZ list the couple’s separation date as October 13 and detail Hila’s request for spousal support, joint custody of their three children, as well as for Ethan to pay for her legal fees.
However, Ethan has now hit back by asking the court to deny Hila’s request for spousal support, as per TMZ. Instead, Ethan has asked the court not to award support to either of them.
The H3 Podcast crew speaks out after ‘indefinite hiatus’ announced
On social media, the crew of the H3 Podcast also spoke out, taking to the official podcast Instagram page to write: “We are all shocked, angry and heartbroken to learn about Ethan’s ongoing affair.
“As soon as we found out, we all agreed: we would not continue working with Ethan involved or profiting in any way. We don’t yet know what that means for the future.”
The statement went on to share that the crew ‘stands with Hila’, adding that they will ‘support her every step of the way’.
Ethan has also shared his own updates on Instagram, previously revealing in a Story that he was working with Hila to ‘urgently remove’ his ownership and financial stakes in any podcasts, Teddy Fresh, Teddy Glow, and any other joint ventures the couple have.
The move could mark a huge change for the businesses that the pair have built together, with Ethan indicating that he wants to ensure fans can continue supporting Hila and the wider team without financially benefiting him.
The divorce proceedings raise questions about how the businesses will operate going forward, particularly where Ethan’s ownership interests overlap with Hila’s and the wider teams behind the ventures.
Some fans have expressed hopes that the podcast could continue without Ethan, with many of the crew members behind the show having now become popular co-hosts in their own right, earning their own fans through their appearances in clips.
