A YOUTUBER’S husband is seen at her bedside at the hospital in a video she posted on the same day she filed for divorce.
Aspyn Ovard, 28, filed a petition to split from her husband, Parker Ferris, just days after she gave birth to their third child.

Court records obtained by The U.S. Sun showed that the paperwork was filed on April 1, 2024.
The documents include instructions on how the couple needs to act throughout the court process.
However, the filing did not include a response from Ferris.
It’s unclear what day Ovard gave birth to her daughter but she began sharing videos about her newborn on April 1.
One of the videos shared to her TikTok (@aspynovard) showed her husband Ferris sitting next to her as she laid in a hospital bed.
The video included a viral SpongeBob audio clip and Ovard filmed Ferris smiling and pointing at her stomach, saying “My friends in there.”
She then flipped the camera around and responded, “Congratulations.”
She shared a second video of a blooper using the same sound.
Ferris didn’t get the timing right and spoke his line too soon.
She wrote “he had one job” over the video and captioned it, “smh.”
PREGNANCY JOURNEY
In one of her most recent videos, the influencer informed her followers that her daughter was born at 6 am.
She was being looked after in the NICU because she was born prematurely.
Ovard also posted a bump-to-baby video on Instagram.
The first half of the video was Ovard standing in the hospital mirror with the caption, “But I’m only 34 weeks… she’s not ready.”
The second half was a clip of her cradling and rocking her newborn daughter with the caption, “Trust me, you’ll be fine.”
On Tuesday, she shared a heartwarming picture on her Instagram Stories with her newborn daughter laying on her chest.
The caption read, “Nothing better than this feeling.”
SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENSE
For over a decade, the couple has been sharing major life events on social media.
The couple announced their engagement in 2015 to their almost 1 million YouTube subscribers on her Aspyn Ovard’s account (@aspynovard).
They married in Utah, their shared home state, months later.

A CLUE?
Six months ago, Ovard posted a YouTube video detailing some channel changes.
In the last few seconds of the video, she said that the channel would feature only her name and a picture of her as the profile photo.
“Obviously, whoever else can still be in the videos, but just a little change. Sometimes you just have changes, and I think it’ll be good,” she said in the video.
The couple’s apparent split came as a shock as they had just enjoyed a babymoon before the arrival of their latest child.
Ovard posted plenty of loved up photos and videos from their trip to an idyllic beach resort.
“Our babymoon,” was written over the video with Ovard seen kissing her partner.
Ovard continued to post updates about the birth of her child on Tuesday without publicly commenting on her relationship status with Ferris.
