Many times in relationships, we feel as though we’ve hit the jackpot because our significant other is “way out of our league.” I’m not sure who made the rules to dating or what leagues there actually are, but I find it to be quite annoying and rude when people claim that someone “stepped up,” or “dated out of their league.” Looks, to me, aren’t everything. I also believe that not everyone has the same taste in men/women. You may think someone is unattractive, and to me, they’re the most beautiful human in the world. Blogger Jenna Kutcher knows a thing or two about exactly this.
Both Jenna and her husband, Drew, are pretty well known on Instagram.
The two make one pretty good looking couple together.
When you have a pretty big following, you’re bound to have some people who are jealous, salty, and petty. With Drew being ripped like a washboard, Jenna admits that she’s received some pretty nasty comments and messages from people online–questioning how someone “like her” landed someone “like him.”
And, she had the most amazing response.
She posted a photo with the caption:
Someone once slid into my DMs and told me they couldn’t believe I had managed to land a guy as good looking as @kickingitwithkutch. I’ll be honest that I was taken aback.
✨
Part of my insecurity with my body has stemmed around being married to Mr. 6-Pack himself. Why should I, a curvy girl get him? I feel unworthy and when I write narratives in my head that because I am not thin, I don’t deserve him.
??
This man has embraced every curve, every dimple, pound and pimple for the last ten years and has always me reminded me that I’m beautiful even when my inner dialogue doesn’t match (and when I haven’t showered in days.)
??
So yes, my thighs kiss, my arms are big, and my bum is bumpy but there is just more of me for him to love and I chose the man that could handle alllll that (and so much more!)
✨
I am so much more than my body, so is he, and so are you. Double tap if true love doesn’t see size.
After her post went viral, people were so inspired by her strength and honesty that they left a slew of heartwarming messages thanking her for being so straightforward and brave. Jenna also posted a followup saying:
THE REALITY OF GOING VIRAL: We’ve spent the last few days gawking at the fact that society believes that seeing two people (who happen to have different body types) in love is newsworthy, and yet we are embracing it whole heartedly because it means that we get to share our message with YOU, with the world.
〜
We are not our bodies. I am not defined by titles like “curvy” or plus size, Drew is not defined by “Mr. Six Pack.” At the end of the day, we are the girl and the guy who fell in love and started dating in college after @kickingitwithkutch lost a bet that led to a first kiss – the rest is history.
〜
Our story is has held ups and down, light and loss and we’ve chosen to show up and turn the mess into our message. Because we believe the world is hungry for REAL and going viral has proven that.
〜
Here we are: Jenna and Drew, a small town couple who are as normal as they come and more in love today than the day they said “I do.” You might have met us because of our bodies but I pray you fall in love with our hearts and souls and stick around awhile. Will you?
Clearly, these two don’t care what anyone has to say about them–their love is real.
