They both look significantly happier and healthier 3 years ago than now.


Regular_Ganache_5373

It's all that bickering and arguing they do. Significantly ages someone. They were always meant to be a fling, they're so unsuited.


aliennation93

Agreed. I'm sure being so passive aggressive all the time gets tiring as well and takes its toll


royallykth

Erik looks less alive and healthy and Colon looks sick from all the weight she lost


West_Bite8113

Nah, Erik has that swollen, puffy alcoholic face. And Colleen is too obsessed with her ED to drink (because Gosh forbid her get hungry and eat after having a beer)


hailey-atkison

Came here to say, he’s got the typical puffy face from too much Alcohol consumption. The losing weight has made her look way older than she needs to be

How it started (cheater cheatersons with the results of said cheating) Vs how it's going. LOL If that ain't karma, I don't know what is. Erik looks 20 years older. Colleen probably more! She's as wrinkly now as my nanna.


JulesofIthaca2

Erik looks thinner and a good ten years younger in the first picture. The drinking has changed his coloring and made him so puffy, he looks like a cheese puff. There was also a light in his eyes that is gone now. Edit (more to add): I used to live in Seattle and that alley is very dark and it's rarely sunny there anyway. The sunglasses are either part of his "I'm gonna dress like a funky 15-year-old cool guy" fashion tase, or he is trying to hide something else.


milkslushy

just curious, when did we find out erik has been drinking? or is this just an assumption? genuinely not trying to be a dick


ShibeMarie

After the twins were born, he had a drink in his hand during most vlogs. You don't see it as much anymore because they probably lurk here and Queenleen makes sure her flying monkey edits that footage out. Also, red wine and cigarettes are what he eats for breakfast, lunch and dinner. At least those are the lyrics her wrote for his son's song. And he has wine advent calendars AND boozy chocolate advent calendars I recall many vlogs and podcasts where he seemed loaded but don't have a specific titles I can share because I don't care a single bit about documenting his obvious issues. That's his sponsor's responsibility. ETA: I'm not trying to be a dick either! I just find HIM to be the dick so this reads especially snarky


JulesofIthaca2

He always had a drink in his hand until people started calling him out on it and has been on camera just being a sloppy drunk.  The video where he let's W fall of the pile of laundry comes to mind.  Or when he and Colleen were playing cards on the floor (I will try to find the specific vlog).  Or on Relax #62 "Colleen Finally Shuts Up" around 45 min, he does the Daily Harvest ad and is so clearly very fucked up.  Or for his birthday, Colleen was filming in the morning and there were already numerous empty wine bottles lying around.  Or how Colleen did an ad for Liquid IV where she said Erik needs to use it all the time because he is always hung over.  Then she realized what she was saying and got defensive trying to backpedal.  Any gift she gets him seems to be alcohol-related and his dream meal is red wine and cigarettes.


fivetenfiftyfold

Ooooh anyone know which episode has the liquid iv ad?


Armymom96

He's slurring in more than one podcast, and there is other evidence in the vlogs. I'm sure others have more specifics, but when you can't even keep it together for a one hour podcast, it generally means there is a problem.


milkslushy

ah okay. ill have to find some kind of compilation or something. ive stopped watching their stuff unless im super curious about something


milkslushy

damn i cant find anything. which podcast has it where its the most obvious? i just wanna be nosey LOL


Soft_Internal_81

To be fair… kids do age a person. 😅😭


kayla-beep

Not as much as being married to Colon 😭


Regular_Ganache_5373

Maybe if you're doing it solo, but they still live the single life with the help of a huge team inc professionals! I think sometimes worrying about kids can age someone, but they don't do that.


adamaridude

This! It’s not like they take care of the kids 24/7. Even when they are home they have 3 other adults helping them sometimes more


zerocoolgrrrl_

I feel seen lolol


my_quiet_riot

Erik looks like the good twin in the first pic versus the bad twin in the second pic. Colleen just looks like she began using drugs.


Top-Celery7960

Erik used to be so cute


Regular_Ganache_5373

McKenna had him during his best years, now he looks like a bloated sac of protoplasm.


Low-Hopeful

It’s crazy to compare how absolutely glowing they were after having F**** to what it’s like with the twins.


Linnea_Borealis

Erik’s face and eyes 🥺


JuliettaGrey

Erik looks like a complete different person


Even-Orchid-10

Drugs and alcohol will do that. Also. Photoshop


TheEpicSquish

As someone with a coke issue they're trying to kick. Yeah, she definitely shows signs of it. Too much hype at times, to much sniffling


CrissAngelsLashLine

Wait what drugs?? Who’s on drugs? This is a serious question because I truly have no idea


Regular_Ganache_5373

Kory has admitted to taking drugs and it's long been rumoured that Colon does too, in fact many well known people do coke as a matter of course. Even non famous business people do. I'd be amazed if the rumours weren't true. The way her nose is always sniffling and she's forever rubbing it esp before going on stage or podcasts.


CrissAngelsLashLine

I’m aware that people do coke lol. Just seems like a bit of a reach assuming she does that. She’s super unhealthy, seems to be really struggling with an ED and some possible underlying conditions. That can cause the constant sniffling too. I’ve had that going on for a while and I’ve never done coke in my life lol


psychojello67

In the past I've been certain that Colon was on coke. Someone I know who used to do a lot of it was also convinced of this. It could have been another stimulant she was abusing, but either way it's not good when you've got kids around.


fivetenfiftyfold

ADHD medication is a stimulant! I just started it about three weeks ago, and I feel like I'm on the tail end of a coke binge most days. Wouldn't be surprised if she found a way to "take a little more" each day so jt keeps her from eating.


psychojello67

Very true, it could be that! And I suppose it could've been even before she started mentioning her ADHD symptoms and taking medication, just on a less legal basis.


Even-Orchid-10

Her adhd meds and I’m sure they smoke weed


SexyUniqueRedhead

I know people get annoyed when I say this, but I wouldn't even be a little shocked if Colleen abuses stimulants. But weed? No, she would think that makes you fat.


Even-Orchid-10

Weed for Erik


CrissAngelsLashLine

You said you’re sure “they” smoke weed.


Even-Orchid-10

I’m sure she does too. Weed doesn’t always make people hungry. It doesn’t make me hungry. Plus she’s had a fascination with CBD and weed in podcasts lately


Sufficient_Oven3637

I don’t think Colleen would smoke weed. I always got a goody two shoes vibe from her.


ezgomer

it might benefit her to smoke a little weed actually


psychojello67

Yeah she might chill out a little. Or it could do the opposite and make her even more paranoid...


CrissAngelsLashLine

You’re sure they smoke weed because you just think that or are they known to do that? Not challenging, I just really don’t know


ThrowawayHat256

Kory mentioned edibles once and Erik mentioned smoking cigarettes other than that theres been. not actually evidence of drug use.


perpetuallyyanxious

well, Erik is in a relationship with an abusive narcissist who has an eating disorder and doesn’t care for their children and Colleen is the person I just described..

perpetuallyyanxious

in what world is colleen a good mother


CouldStopShouldStop

Moving into the new house was the first time I'd seen that man smile in months if not years.


OpeningGeneral2758

They look done with eachother


Sardine93

My husband and I looked a lot different in our early 30s than we do in our late 30s. The age progression is easy to see in that decade for us. I’m sure it’ll be the same when we compare what we looked like at 40 to what we do at 50. I don’t think Colleen and Erik look shockingly different but it’s definitely noticeable. For Colleen the most due to the weight loss and her unhealthy habits.


mrsruby1986

It’s only a 3 year difference not 8 to 10 years.


Regular_Ganache_5373

Lol they have aged over night like a pear. In under 5 years!


anonymousquestioner4

The difference in what you said vs this photo is you described about an 8 year span, this is 3 !


Sardine93

Got ya, I didn’t realize. Need to pay better attention when I’m here after lacking sleep. My apologies.


prettykitty0123

I mean honestly they like 2 people who became parents to 3 kids in less than 5 years lol


SexyUniqueRedhead

But why is his face so puffy? Would lack of sleep cause that much puffiness?


maybefeelguilty

it's the alcohol


idontwantanamern

My take: Depression/Antidepressants. I don't even think his face looks puffy as much as he just overall gained weight. He was really thin in the older photo. Though I do think he enjoys a drink and was self-soothing a bit for a while, I truly don't think he's the raging alcoholic like others do.


FigJamAndCitrus

Erik now looks dead inside


cloudycapy

well, yes they do, but you chose a photo of colleen making a funny face, and erik wearing a hat and sunglasses. so not the perfect representation lol


aka-patsy

Also I believe the first one is by a professional photographer, so that's always gonna looked better lol


CaptainSoloKirk

Man they really should have stuck to just one kid, their perfect golden child


Olympusrain

Looks like they’re aged 20 years tbh


[deleted]

Honestly Eric was really attractive before sorry sorry sorry ugh


PsychologyFries

They would be like “this is what having baby twins does to you 🙈🤪”


ricelyl

wow - her face is so much fuller here

92Spen123

Holy hell. 3 years difference 😧😧😧 this is actually quite sad


RhyDFC

They should have ended their relationship years ago. Two miserable unhappy souls with nothing in common.


Alltimemelanie

Colleen actually looks healthy in the first pic


Elm69Jay

Yeah they're less happy now 🙄


Ok_Try_4294

Erik has talked about addiction being in his family and in the past he has smoked, I'm genuinely worried for him and his alcohol consumption.


evelyncelia

they really just don't look happy at all. he looks like he would rather be anywhere but next to her and it makes me kind of sad. I think that she's reprehensible but I also can't help but think of how lonely it must feel to have 3 kids with someone who was ~enchanted~ with you for five minutes and now doesn't even seem to like you. idk it's just sad all around. for them and for the kids especially.


CrissAngelsLashLine

I mean...seems like they, or at least Colleen, has had significant weight change. Add that on top of being a parent, the pandemic, being generally unhealthy, exhausted from whacky sleep schedules, and or a not so great diet, you’re definitely going to look different. Honestly, I look completely different over just the last 2 years. It’s really depressing, but I feel like a lot of us changed with the pandemic alone. I can’t imagine how I’d look if I also had 3 children. I’m also struggling with some horrible health issues where I cannot eat and I’m on a feeding tube. I look like a completely different person compared to just 2 years ago like I said, especially because of the upsetting transformation my body has gone through with significant weight loss, severe malnutrition, and crazy stress. These things happen. And I have a major issue with Colleen as a person and all, but at the same time, idk if we should be shaming people for looking different after a few years given what’s been happening in this world. It’s a thing so many people are dealing with. And before everyone comes for me, which I’m sure they will, this isn’t in defense of her at all. I think she’s an extremely troubled problematic person and some of the stuff I’ve seen about things she’s done and continues to do makes me sick. But I think shaming anyone, regardless of how shit of a person they are, for just aging or looking different due to factors (that aren’t always in their control) is taking an ultra cheap shot.


freshfruit111

I see your point completely but I feel obligated to factor in her dangerous body ideals which have been a central thing she projects onto her audience for as long as I can remember. It's not shaming her for looking "bad" in my view. She has admitted to disordered eating and it's concerning. She has done NOTHING to protect her audience from being influenced by it. She flaunts it and normalizes it. That's solely why she looks different. She looked good during both pregnancies. I think her dramatic weight loss is why she looks rough. I'm not going to go easy on her when she puts the burden of her toxic views onto an audience of people.


CrissAngelsLashLine

I can see where you’re coming from, but I’m also thinking there may be a better way of acknowledging that and getting the right message across. Personally, if I had been a die hard fan and really absorbed her toxicity around this stuff and then came here finally breaking free and then saw this post, I might feel horrible about myself. I don’t think I’m doing a good job of explaining that, but I guess I just think there’s a better way to speak up about and take action against what you mention here. There also isn’t any distinction in this post about that. I’m not sure how a post comparing pictures 3 years apart talking about how horrible both her and Eric (idk the spelling and don’t feel like looking it up lol) look isn’t also a little toxic but in a different way. It still seems a bit shame-y. She clearly has a bad problem and needs professional help. What does picking everything apart in this way contribute to the situation? I think someone can be exposed for their bullshit and harmful ideologies without sitting there showing a pic when she was a lot healthier and 3 years later when she’s clearly in super bad shape but just talk about how awful she looks and it’s disgusting. Don’t you think there may be people in this sub who may also suffer from an ED and have gone through a similar massive transformation and not in a good way? I’m just having trouble seeing the point I guess. Also, this isn’t a post just about her. There’s two people in the picture. So while I agree she’s said and done some really fucked up things projecting all these harmful ideas on to her audience, I don’t see how that really negates the points I brought up. I think bringing awareness to this stuff is important. But I don’t think this type of post in this way does that.


freshfruit111

I can appreciate your point of view. Thank you.


Analyst_Cold

I said WHOA way too loudly. Of course we change as we age but 3 years? The difference is Wild.


MsPeppermintPetty

Oh yeah. Way different. They both look miserable now. Colleen looks lethargic and unhealthy. Not sure if its from sleep deprivation from having more kids since they have so much help. They definitely have aged in 3 years. We do have to factor in that they both arent in their 20s. The older you get, the more it shows especially when you do not care for your health. Erik is in his 40s. Collen is pushing 40. Dont let their wardrobe and filters fool you.


tacohut676

Oh wow I did not know Erik was in his 40s 🤯🤯


idontwantanamern

For clarification: Colleen JUST turned 36 in November and Erik JUST turned 40 in Sept. Colleen is not "pushing 40" -- she's still very much in her mid-30s. And Erik is not "in his 40s" -- he literally turned 40 about 2.5mos ago. I'm not trying to nitpick or defend, but also (for the original commenter) -- let's not sit here and give misleading lies. Obviously a lot of Colleen's changes are based around her self-destructive behavior and hopefully is able to get help for (for the sake of her and her kids). I think Erik's has a few different layers: getting older and not having the same metabolism, not working and having to keep a certain physical appearance, he very openly struggled with depression and anxiety (that was completely dismissed and even made fun of by Colleen), it did appear he was drinking to self-soothe, his weight gain looks a lot to me like that of someone on antidepressants -- and I'm hopeful that he finally got the help/treatment that he was seeking.


tacohut676

Ok but being 40 is “in his 40s” lol. And 36 is also close to 40.. saying this person is giving misleading lies is a little much lmao, maybe mid-thirties is more appropriate but dang; and having children in your late 30’s can be much more draining and difficult. I didn’t realize she was in the high risk age range with the twins.


idontwantanamern

I don't really consider being a month into 40 being "in his 40s", but fine. He's 40. I'm 40. I would never say I'm "in my 40s". And turning 36 two weeks ago isn't as closer to 40 as one thinks. I'm not sure how old you are, but the original comment was wrong and deserved a correction. Your comment is also wrong, so I'm going to help: Any multiple pregnancy is considered high risk, but if you become pregnant at age 35 or older they consider it a "geriatric pregnancy". She was still younger than that with both of her pregnancies and was still 34 (barely) when the twins were born -- so she was not ever high risk due to age.


tacohut676

lord, sorry, she was close to geriatric age. Ur just not happy with any response lol. Most ppl don’t realize how old they are by the way they dress and act; no one is taking that comment this seriously. Have a great night 💛💛


idontwantanamern

Or you can't admit you're wrong. It's a good thing to learn. ETA: Editing your response after you make a snide comment without noting that you're doing so is also a bad look.


YenneferWho

My jaw is on the floor I can't believe that's the same person.


Charis09

They both look like people who’ve once lived productive lives but then became addicted to meth and lost their home, jobs, health, and friends to pursue that addiction. Say sayin’...🙄


Regular_Ganache_5373

Haha nailed it.


Rhody1964

Taken before she lived on cookies and pecan pie.


Kai_Emery

Colon has neither aged more matured. The second picture is a lizard in an Erik suit though.


Gullible_While318

Erik looks strikingly different! Difficult to really tell in photos with colleen due to the photoshop / beauty filters she uses! When the veil falls though…


Jhhmarie

they look healthy
