Influencers Matt <\/strong>and Abby Howard<\/strong> have been documenting their lives online for years.<\/p>\n

The couple \u2014 who exchanged vows in 2019<\/a> \u2014 rose to internet stardom before welcoming sons Griffin and August in 2022 and 2023, respectively. The pair\u2019s content ranges from the ins and outs of married life to the joys and difficulties of parenthood, sharing videos via TikTok to their combined 5.3 followers and on their \u201cUnplanned Podcast.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite their social media presence, Matt and Abby have parameters when it comes to filming<\/a> content featuring their family. In 2025, Abby shared that the couple tends to have their evenings designated as \u201cus time,\u201d where they don\u2019t make videos.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoundaries means, like, literally no phones,\u201d she said on an episode of the \u201cJinger and Jeremy\u201d podcast at the time. \u201cWe\u2019ll text family members and friends and stuff, like, send a text or FaceTime people when the kids are around, but it\u2019s not like we\u2019re making videos or stuff like that. It\u2019s been really, really refreshing, honestly, because it felt like a lot for a while \u2014 social media can feel all consuming if you let it be and it felt good to reclaim some boundaries.\u201d<\/p>\n
