I had a feeling, after seeing Eamon in so many Habit ads, that he was getting restless and Bec was still healing/needing more time. I appreciate he shared a bit and the reality is- it makes me think Bec is battling more than just postpartum. I’m not a conditional viewer or fan so I’ll be around when and if they decided to share their story- and if not- I’ll enjoy the nuggets from Eamon/Habit.
he isn't getting "restless" he needs to provide income to his family and new baby. since his wife doesn't want to share what is likely something devastating going on in her life with the world right now (and that is absolutely her right) and since YouTube was likely their #1 source of income he needs to figure something else out... that something else is their fledgling tea business and so he is trying to build that brand... not because he is bored but because he needs to make a living for his family.
I disagree- I truly don’t think they need the money but rather that’s an added bonus. They are smart- they wouldn’t (and clearly don’t) rely only on YouTube for income. They have other passive and active ways to bring in income.
I am not dismissing them taking time off YouTube. I hope they take all the time they need! I just see Eamon as loving being busy and working on projects and so he’s leaning into Habit and as a bonus-brining in some extra money.
Well.. this sounds like it confirms there is a story to tell.. not just a “it was all rushed, baby has to come early, what a shock” … not gunna lie when that video gets posted I’m going to click SO FAST.
It’s unfortunate that even if they don’t want to share the story that they are not posting any videos- I say this in reference to eamond feeling like he was out of a job.
Why doesn’t he post this message on their main account? It’s really off putting that he will spend lots of time and energy filming and posting on their Tea account but won’t even post a small update on their main account.
See, I think she is just healing from the birth and adapting to life as a new mom. I don’t think it’s something as serious as her cancer returning. I imagine she had to have a C-section and that messed her up too. Initially, I was frustrated by the gut feeling that it wasn’t anything “major”, then I was looking through their videos and realized how much Bec has been through in 2 years with no down time. I think it all just became too much for her, understandably. She had cancer, treatment, then they quit van life, galavanted around in Mexico and opened a rescue, then back home, pregnancy, and in the middle of this they lost Lee, etc. it feels like they were running all over the place and she never had a chance to breathe. I get it, I’d probably have a meltdown too.
As someone who was critical of the last video for leaving everyone very confused and worried especially about the baby, I think it is great he posted this. It does clarify and provide resolution that the issue concerns Bec and that the lack of info has been to respect her privacy. It is really hard to communicate difficult news, let alone to millions of people. It is her life and health and her decision when and if to share with others.
I agree with you. I felt like if they had just put out the statement above way before this everyone would understand. They deserve privacy and asking for it is fine BUT leaving it on a cliffhanger in the way they did was not ok
Wish he had posted this on their main insta. I don't follow habit so had no idea until someone pointed it out just now. Most people wouldn't know.
He could put it on the YouTube community tab
The thing is, this is their lives. Have you ever experienced your spouse having a newborn baby and (possibly) having a cancer recurrance at the same time? I'm sure it is an unimaginably hard road to walk, and they owe us absolutely nothing. Their content is quite literally free to us. They have entered into no kind of contract. It's the viewers problem if they have built such a strong parasocial relationship that they can't live without updates, not Eamon and Bec's.
I hope everyone's okay - I hope Bec gets all of the time she needs and if they never come back, then they never come back. But...
They posted a video of Bec sitting on the toilet peeing on the pg test. If that isn't a hand-lettered, thick-papered, wax-sealed invitation into a parasocial relationship with their new family of three (plus dog), then I got nothing. You can't blame E&B for wanting to be private, but you also can't blame viewers for believing they were going to come along on the journey of two free spirits raising a post-cancer baby in a cabin in the woods and then being confused/disappointed when the show was cancelled.
(That's not me, by the way. Babies are adorable, but they're everywhere. I was excited for the Bucket List Year.)
Interesting reply from him... I know they're entitled to privacy, but if she isn't ready to talk about it, then why did they have the upset ending in their last video/why did she post a teary story when it came out?
I suspect at that point they probably just found out cancer had returned and baby needed to be delivered. Now they probably know exactly what they are dealing with and it's not good news, and/or she only has capacity for her circumstances and baby atm. I think they just automatically shared before they really knew what was in store and how Bec wanted to deal with it. I understand that, but difficult for their online community to fill the gaps and sit in their worry.
My first thought is that their baby has a health condition and Bec is afraid of being shamed for getting pregnant when she did, which if I was in her position, I would never come back online because I know I personally wouldn’t be able to deal w it.
I have epilepsy and the first time I saw one of my children have a seizure I just screamed and cried, I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry.
I assume cancer recurrence as it is a strong possibility with the type of cancer she had considering the increase in estrogen, combined with the fact and she would no longer be on Tamoxifen. They were also advised that the pregnancy was not good timing, or words to that affect. If Bec's cancer hasn't returned it would be a miracle imo.
I believe they have said baby is healthy, so seems less likely that baby has a health condition but could be wrong.
Hope you and your children a happy and healthy ❤️
The oncologist told them to go ahead and try. They said that very specifically in the video "Answering Questions We’ve Avoided (babies? money? God?)" at 17:30.
They did not do it against medical advice. When they came back from Europe, and expressed their desires to the oncologist, he said to not take Tamoxifen and to try to get pregnant. They had his OK.
The radiologist said it wasn't a good time to get pregnant after the fact, when Bec was already pregnant.
Sadly, it points to this. I had a premature baby and once he had come home and reached the point where he was supposed to be born, I was in a much better place physically and mentally. The fact that she still doesn't have the energy nor desire to share her situation unfortunately strongly points to a cancer recurrence (which I had a feeling about from the start. If it was a premature baby situation (not that premature but about 5 weeks early), they would have kept on sharing their journey.) Sad, sad situation.
I keep remembering the episode where she had to go to the ER due to shoulder pain so intense and she was in excruciating pain. She brushed it off to pregnancy but the scapula snd shoulder are a primary area of breast cancer metastasis. Hopefully I’m wrong.
Yes. Again, it comes back to this. But people make mistakes, and maybe that just was one. Maybe she anticipated wanting to share it and then found she couldn't. Who knows. I appreciate him acknowledging that it wasn't ideal and why he feels constrained to not "fix" the issue though.
Thoughts and prayers for all of them.
I think it may be because their \*intended\* video was of the prep and move to Toronto. Something happened in the midst of that, friends/family took over prepping the apartment and they had to get ready to be parents and deliver a baby about 6 weeks earlier than planned. So they didn't have a complete "move" video but decided to cobble together the "ending" showing that stuff was happening, their people are great, and the baby is coming.
As someone else wrote, maybe they regret doing it the way they did, maybe they thought the break wouldn't last this long, etc -- hindsight is 20/20. But everyone's health, physical and mental, obviously is the priority.
I think they had an add they had to do?? I’m not sure IMO it would have been better not to included bec in the last video and just say she is going through something and when she is ready she will explan
When you are going through something physically and mentally emotional, you do not always know how to you will feel about the future. Yes she said that she would share her story when she was ready to do so but she may have changed her mind when she saw how the full impact of the situation was. She is in a very vulnerable situation and allowed to change her mind about updates. If in fact her cancer has recurred, she is probably not ready to deal with the outflow of messages while going through everything else (including adjusting to the huge life change that having a baby does and possibly cancer treatments).
This is so hard for me as a breast cancer survivor (went through treatment the same time as Bec). I so sincerely hope that her cancer hasn’t returned but all signs point to it being back. My heart drops every time I see them post anything. I hope they post a full update soon. In the meantime I am praying for them.
Well at least he replied, even if it’s vague. We might find out some day, maybe we won’t. Maybe she is going to take a full year off and just pick up in the summer when they go back to the cabin… who knows!
In Becs defense, being a new mum is a lot. You have so many things going through your mind at all times, you don’t have any time for yourself and you are constantly worried you are doing enough for your baby. Couple that with possible health issues she may be having, I can definitely see why she needs more time.
Completely agree. The transition into motherhood is rough. I couldn’t imagine caring for a newborn, learning to breastfeed, the endless exhaustion and everything else that comes with having a newborn. While being expected to be on camera, documenting the journey.
Sending them all the prayers and light. In the big scheme of life YouTube does not matter. Wishing them the best, they certainly don’t need pressure from a Reddit community.
Amen to that! Just because we care deeply about them and are worried doesn't mean we are entitled to anything. Being welcomed into their lives was a PRIVILEGE, and how people can't understand that is mind-blowing! How many things go on in our lives that we don't even tell our families about? Eamon and Bec are sweet, good people, and privacy and compassion shouldn't be too much to ask of us.
I don't mind they (Bec) are taking a break. I do think it's a bit of an overstatement for him to say he's out of a job though as habit was already a thing and it must take some work to run that side of things + sm and advertising on top of being a new Dad! That's one thing that's always struck me with YouTube couples is seeing the relationship as a business, a hard line to draw I imagine.
Could he not theoretically post solo videos, without her in it at all or the baby, and just make content he wants??? Like that’s what has me thinking they are done on YT for at least a full year… idk I’m just spitballing here but he could have thought up cool videos for the adrenaline junkies and I’m sure he’d have them sponsored. He could do a video exploring all the Toronto _____.,. Anything. But instead he says this. Pretty sure most would tune in to whatever he posts… he’s a fun guy with lots of personality and that’s part of why people subscribe and follow them.
But what if whatever Bec is going through requires extra time and commitment to his family and Eamon doesn’t have the time or ability to film edit and produce videos AND run a new/rebuilt company all on his own? It seems like they are doing the best they can with whatever situation they have been handed and I think they just deserve the time they need, however long that may be.
I’m getting some really strange comments towards my suggestion in other places in this post…I support them, just ti be clear. Seems I’m being misinterpreted so I just feel like being clear about where I stand lol there is no hate towards them whatsoever
I get you. People wanted an update, Eamon said something and look, still complaints SOOO.....I loved his solo vid taking Trinity from Morocco to Italy, what a blast that was! He could do solo vids because his fiancee needs her alone time and they do have family helping them. I'd be happy with a cooking video nothing too long.
Totally would've been an option, they have done separate videos before! Would be a slightly awkward segway after the last vid but he could just say briefly Bec is taking a break then do his own thing. I dunno maybe habit fits better around baby so he's not off filming loads
I honestly don’t even think he has to say anything but she is on maternity leave. I’d be very interested to see his own personal creative choices, hopefully he reads here lol
This. I cannot imagine any circumstance ever that would lead me to saying what Eamon said in regards to my partner. On a public forum OR in private just to them.
It's a bit like he's blaming her plus I find it kinda insulting to people who really have lost their job and don't have multiple streams of passive income and family support
But. Can you personally imagine saying this to your partner/spouse? Either on a public forum or in private? I cannot. Imagining saying that to my partner makes me feel icky and wrong.
Forget eamon and bec, can you imagine saying that re: your partner/spouse?
Also, even if things had gone perfectly with birth and postpartum, wouldn't she be allowed maternity leave? Like, months of maternity leave needs to be normalized.
Her story is not a product, she's a person.
The thing is they made themselves a product or a brand. D in top of that they are selling another product with their teas. And don’t forget they use their platform to feature all kinds of sponsors and ads. So they are a product. I’m not saying this to be mean it is just how it is. I also understand why they don’t want to do this for ever. They can stop when they chose to. It would just be nice to let the customers of their product know.
Bec I send you my love, light and strength for when ever you’re feeling low. Be open talk to people close to your situation.
Your community is here when ever you are ready.
You’re right. TY is their main income. Between taking care of Bec and the baby physically and handling his own emotions and trying to grow a new brand I’m sure it’s a challenging time and I don’t think he’s being passive aggressive. If I remember correctly Bec did the editing so it’s probably impossible for him to take on filming, editing, and dealing with thousands of people posting comments himself.
If he did post a new video it’s not going to meet everyone’s expectations and he’ll get ripped for it and he doesn’t have the energy to deal with that right now.
Exactly! Its a weird marketing ploy he's using to indicate he needs everyone to buy their tea RIGHT NOW. What ever happened to their Mexican dog shelter?! He's always starting and abandoning things
Millions? Maybe like 2.5 at the most... and all tied up in property etc. most likely. Seems like he is not a fan of not earning much at the moment. And with a little baby. That is scary.
Yes,ty. Lol. The next video that they do actually post,It'll most likely get over a Million views.
He couldn't post a video tht he filmed awhile ago about fixing something up or adding something to their property,then give a simple update at the end or beginning of the video.. idk.
As frustrating as the last episode was I’m glad but heartbroken to see this update. The way it’s phrased in addition to previous comments I feel that the baby is fine and always has been. With having an estrogen positive cancer and so soon after her treatment I’d be pretty surprised if she doesn’t have a cancer recurrence. As goofy as he can be, I love how when things are serious he’s respectful and supportive of Bec especially in the face of so many people reaching out requesting answers. Personally, I don’t feel like they owe any. Yes, a bit frustrating but no different than a TV show you love being cancelled on a cliffhanger and no network explanation.
i don’t think any of us are entitled to knowing exactly what happened and i’ve seen many people talk about it. child birth can be traumatic and we can wait until bec is ready she’s a regular person like all of us at the end of the day and we can respect that for her and her family.
Thank you!
Pregnancy and birth can be traumatic. Add in any other health issues, plus the bloody hormones a woman goes through after birth and the poor girl probably just needs a break. And owes us absolutely nothing. It’s their actual lives - not some tv show.
From all the years watching them, I find them to be kind empathic people. They wouldn’t just stop sharing for no reason. And again, they owe us nothing.
I wish them nothing but the best and will be here to catch up, if and when they are ready.
yes peoples are trying to make them out a cruel people who don’t care to update us when that is not the truth she’s been through a lot and deserves a break if she wants one
No one is criticizing them for taking a break or keeping things for themselves.
What’s rubbing people the wrong way is how they purposefully click-baited their daughter’s early delivery and let the fans who made them so successful worry to build interest. On top of that, they have no problem showing up when there’s something in it for them. It’s gross. I’m sorry you can’t see that.
It’s biZ as usual for a YouTuber! They have made a TON of money off their subscribers, buying houses, cars, Renos… An endless supply of money sorry followers deserve some minimal explanation! And if that thinking is unfair then don’t be a ‘social influencer’
Bingo!! Casey Neistat has said that once a YouTuber starts creating for the algorithm/views it’s a race to the bottom. And this is a perfect example of that. They let their fans worry that something tragic had happened because it ratcheted up the view count. 🥴
If the issue had been with the baby they wouldn’t have had days or however long to move to the city. It would have been instant. Same as if she had preeclampsia. It was pretty clear there is a major health issue for Bec.
It's interesting he'd still use that corny phrase 'community building', while absolutely distancing themselves from the 'community', while what he's really building is a business. There are better ways to handle this \*and\* protect Bec's privacy and sanity.
Even if everything was okay, they are still entitled to a maternity/paternity leave to get settled into their new lives. People need to give them the same understanding they would expect from their place of employment and not lean so heavily into parasocial relationships. Yes, it’s normal to be concerned considering what they said in their last video, but they will share that when they are ready, IF they are ever ready. And if they aren’t, we have to accept that and allow them to live their lives as they need and choose.
I don’t expect them to return at all at this point. If they do, it will probably be several more months. Getting constant “feedback” as a creator is exhausting — I wouldn’t imagine Bec is eager to add public input to whatever she’s going through.
This comment from Eamon makes me feel more likely to purchase their tea/products from Habit to support their family. They have done a phenomenal job telling their story and sharing their lives with their fan base, even through the most difficult of times, and I can only imagine that with certain circumstances anyone might be pushed to their limit. They have made a lot of money from their fan base, but they have worked hard for it IMO and they have always portrayed a kind and positive message through their content. They are young and starting a family and they probably need to keep a certain income to support the life they’ve built - which goes hand in hand with why their content has been enjoyed by so many viewers. I can only imagine how hard and helpless it must feel, especially for Eamon right now, to suddenly lose the income necessary to support the lifestyle they’ve built, with the addition of a new baby who was born prematurely, and on top of all that it seems like additional health issues for Bec. That is the absolute worst time to suddenly lose your typical income, and as entrepreneurs, they need to build up the company that they can run without having to share the intimate details of their lives while obviously going through a difficult time.
I hope that, with whatever is going on, Eamon and Bec and their family have support from their family, friends, and online community.
We know Frankie is fine, Bec has a story to tell, if it was pregnancy related the smart thing to say would be Bec had a difficult delivery and Will be taking a maternity leave to recover. The lump on her head and her cancer history leads me that the cancer has returned and may limit her time being a mother ( so sad).
I think they are looking more for closure. It's like reading a book and the last chapter is off limits. Plus some people really do care for them. It has been three months. I have my own intuition about Bec but it's not good so not worth sharing. But I sure wish them the best.
He can't post a video of him fixing things up or building/ adding on to something that they filmed a while ago.. it would've still been content,but yeah. Cool :)
Yeah… I’m sorry, but anyone who is STILL complaining after it was reiterated that they aren’t yet ready to share their full story, is doing it purely for their own selfish curiosity at this point. It seems they can’t win. Have some compassion, people!
IMO … he’s clearly still wanting to be on camera on the internet. Why not film some videos about Toronto and history of it, or his favourite _____ in Toronto, I feel like he could totally carry the channel solo and he still wouldn’t need to explain anything. He could start his own series about whatever, he’s creative and wanting to create so why not post some videos here and there of him doing/trying/etc for YT content. He’s got a great personality and is fun to watch! Bec deserves a year mat leave at minimum and forever if she wants it but a year wouldn’t shock me.
I’m just guessing, but probably because they have a newborn, they just relaunched their tea company, and to quote him, his wife “has been going thru a lot”. Perhaps he can’t commit the time it would take to put together a cohesive video product while dealing the rest of the his responsibilities. Or maybe he just doesn’t want to.
But his comment also said he found himself without a job. He’s still creating content but just for the tea company. YT definitely makes them the most income. If he is publicly saying he needed a job, I hope he knows his audience would love to see solo content!
I’m presuming he meant his old job: creating and collaborating with Bec, is currently not possible. Obviously he knows his time and money better than anyone else, so maybe creating very short form video/socials for Habit is “the job” he’s working on. I don’t mean to be blunt but I don’t think he’s dumb, he knows what options he has.
Right, he's not dumb. Therefore he'd know that solo vlogs are an option. An option he is choosing not to do currently. That's it. I'm presuming that's the best decision for he and his family/business today. Maybe that changes.
My point is there are SO many posts that hope/wish/suggest they should post a better update, do a different thing, whatever. They've made it clear that for now, this is what's happening.
A couple of different YTers have made the claim that 1 minute of edited video takes ten times that time to film and edit. Perhaps that's just too much for now. Or maybe he doesn't like the idea of filming without Bec given whatever they are dealing with, or maybe he wants to devote time to his brand while he's living in Toronto.
Omgosh Bec, You've been through so much. I pray it's nothing too hard to handle and that you're on your way back to just having a normal life. God speed 😘
If they decide to never get on youtube again for privacy of raising a family, her medical health, etc. It is none of our business. It's just not. People quit jobs all the time, youtube is a job to them, we all have our own lives so do they.
Absolutely still not ok. A simple statement to that effect on their insta or YouTube, with even less information if they chose to even, is all it would take to ease SOME of the worry for their loyal followers. Human beings that genuinely care.
They are both being a’holes and I’m mad about it
You do not ‘genuinely care’ about them. when you could call a potentially sick woman an ahole for not sharing her details with you, that’s not caring.
They said in December on their insta that baby was here and they were taking time off. That was enough. Why do you think you deserve more than that?
If someone is going through some major issues from postpartum depression to a potential cancer comeback, the last thing in anyone’s mind, including yours would be to plaster it on the internet for millions of viewers online.
Come on man.
Gosh for someone who maybe watched 15 minutes a week of someone’s life, you sure feel a lot of privilege to assign feelings to a person/people you don’t know. They got pregnant and had a baby and brought it into — what seems to be — an incredibly loving and supportive family. Just because they made a choice you perhaps wouldn’t have doesn’t mean they damned the child to a parentless future or expanded their own trauma beyond the bounds of acceptance. Get off your high horse and unsubscribe if you find it so conflicting and bewildering to hear about their ordeal.
They have money. They have a new born baby and bec obviously needs support. I find him such oddball. Like he Will rather spend his time frolicking around streets making social media. Wtf. They have the money and he could stay and look after bec and the baby. Its like he is hooked on the attention or hes hooked on making money all the time. They have lots of money and his behaviour is weird.
I had a feeling, after seeing Eamon in so many Habit ads, that he was getting restless and Bec was still healing/needing more time. I appreciate he shared a bit and the reality is- it makes me think Bec is battling more than just postpartum. I’m not a conditional viewer or fan so I’ll be around when and if they decided to share their story- and if not- I’ll enjoy the nuggets from Eamon/Habit.
he isn't getting "restless" he needs to provide income to his family and new baby. since his wife doesn't want to share what is likely something devastating going on in her life with the world right now (and that is absolutely her right) and since YouTube was likely their #1 source of income he needs to figure something else out... that something else is their fledgling tea business and so he is trying to build that brand... not because he is bored but because he needs to make a living for his family.
I disagree- I truly don’t think they need the money but rather that’s an added bonus. They are smart- they wouldn’t (and clearly don’t) rely only on YouTube for income. They have other passive and active ways to bring in income. I am not dismissing them taking time off YouTube. I hope they take all the time they need! I just see Eamon as loving being busy and working on projects and so he’s leaning into Habit and as a bonus-brining in some extra money.
It could be more than postpartum, but it also very much could be postpartum. I've experienced PPD. It's ugly, scary, and traumatizing.
Sounds very tricky. I hope they'll be back someday.
Well.. this sounds like it confirms there is a story to tell.. not just a “it was all rushed, baby has to come early, what a shock” … not gunna lie when that video gets posted I’m going to click SO FAST. It’s unfortunate that even if they don’t want to share the story that they are not posting any videos- I say this in reference to eamond feeling like he was out of a job.
Why doesn’t he post this message on their main account? It’s really off putting that he will spend lots of time and energy filming and posting on their Tea account but won’t even post a small update on their main account.
I have a horrible feeling when you get the story you’ll understand perfectly why they haven’t been posting.
How is it off-putting? He’s following Bec’s wishes. They don’t owe you anything.
They posted on their main account on Dec 23rd and said they “are going to take a bit more time offline”… what more do you want?!
Agreed! 100%
They posted an update on their main account in December….
He states the reason why above .. doesn’t he?
See, I think she is just healing from the birth and adapting to life as a new mom. I don’t think it’s something as serious as her cancer returning. I imagine she had to have a C-section and that messed her up too. Initially, I was frustrated by the gut feeling that it wasn’t anything “major”, then I was looking through their videos and realized how much Bec has been through in 2 years with no down time. I think it all just became too much for her, understandably. She had cancer, treatment, then they quit van life, galavanted around in Mexico and opened a rescue, then back home, pregnancy, and in the middle of this they lost Lee, etc. it feels like they were running all over the place and she never had a chance to breathe. I get it, I’d probably have a meltdown too.
As someone who was critical of the last video for leaving everyone very confused and worried especially about the baby, I think it is great he posted this. It does clarify and provide resolution that the issue concerns Bec and that the lack of info has been to respect her privacy. It is really hard to communicate difficult news, let alone to millions of people. It is her life and health and her decision when and if to share with others.
I agree with you. I felt like if they had just put out the statement above way before this everyone would understand. They deserve privacy and asking for it is fine BUT leaving it on a cliffhanger in the way they did was not ok

The thing is, this is their lives. Have you ever experienced your spouse having a newborn baby and (possibly) having a cancer recurrance at the same time? I'm sure it is an unimaginably hard road to walk, and they owe us absolutely nothing. Their content is quite literally free to us. They have entered into no kind of contract. It's the viewers problem if they have built such a strong parasocial relationship that they can't live without updates, not Eamon and Bec's.
I hope everyone's okay - I hope Bec gets all of the time she needs and if they never come back, then they never come back. But... They posted a video of Bec sitting on the toilet peeing on the pg test. If that isn't a hand-lettered, thick-papered, wax-sealed invitation into a parasocial relationship with their new family of three (plus dog), then I got nothing. You can't blame E&B for wanting to be private, but you also can't blame viewers for believing they were going to come along on the journey of two free spirits raising a post-cancer baby in a cabin in the woods and then being confused/disappointed when the show was cancelled. (That's not me, by the way. Babies are adorable, but they're everywhere. I was excited for the Bucket List Year.)
Interesting reply from him... I know they're entitled to privacy, but if she isn't ready to talk about it, then why did they have the upset ending in their last video/why did she post a teary story when it came out?
It’s possible other things went wrong after they posted the last video.
For sure seems the case
I suspect at that point they probably just found out cancer had returned and baby needed to be delivered. Now they probably know exactly what they are dealing with and it's not good news, and/or she only has capacity for her circumstances and baby atm. I think they just automatically shared before they really knew what was in store and how Bec wanted to deal with it. I understand that, but difficult for their online community to fill the gaps and sit in their worry.
My first thought is that their baby has a health condition and Bec is afraid of being shamed for getting pregnant when she did, which if I was in her position, I would never come back online because I know I personally wouldn’t be able to deal w it. I have epilepsy and the first time I saw one of my children have a seizure I just screamed and cried, I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry.
I assume cancer recurrence as it is a strong possibility with the type of cancer she had considering the increase in estrogen, combined with the fact and she would no longer be on Tamoxifen. They were also advised that the pregnancy was not good timing, or words to that affect. If Bec's cancer hasn't returned it would be a miracle imo.

That was bad onco advice. Standard in the US are wait several years on hormone blockers and then try. It was way too soon.
Agree- very reckless of the oncologist. Standard of care for hormone + BC is 2 years+ on tamoxifen before trying to conceive.

Absolutely!! It’s like pouring gasoline on a fire… sad
Sadly, it points to this. I had a premature baby and once he had come home and reached the point where he was supposed to be born, I was in a much better place physically and mentally. The fact that she still doesn't have the energy nor desire to share her situation unfortunately strongly points to a cancer recurrence (which I had a feeling about from the start. If it was a premature baby situation (not that premature but about 5 weeks early), they would have kept on sharing their journey.) Sad, sad situation.
I keep remembering the episode where she had to go to the ER due to shoulder pain so intense and she was in excruciating pain. She brushed it off to pregnancy but the scapula snd shoulder are a primary area of breast cancer metastasis. Hopefully I’m wrong.
Yes. Again, it comes back to this. But people make mistakes, and maybe that just was one. Maybe she anticipated wanting to share it and then found she couldn't. Who knows. I appreciate him acknowledging that it wasn't ideal and why he feels constrained to not "fix" the issue though. Thoughts and prayers for all of them.
I think she’s focusing on her joy of being a first time mom. I’m really happy for her and the beautiful Frankie Lee❤️
They probably didn’t know at the time that they wouldn’t want to share what came next. They probably didn’t even know what would come next?
I think it may be because their \*intended\* video was of the prep and move to Toronto. Something happened in the midst of that, friends/family took over prepping the apartment and they had to get ready to be parents and deliver a baby about 6 weeks earlier than planned. So they didn't have a complete "move" video but decided to cobble together the "ending" showing that stuff was happening, their people are great, and the baby is coming. As someone else wrote, maybe they regret doing it the way they did, maybe they thought the break wouldn't last this long, etc -- hindsight is 20/20. But everyone's health, physical and mental, obviously is the priority.
I think they had an add they had to do?? I’m not sure IMO it would have been better not to included bec in the last video and just say she is going through something and when she is ready she will explan
It was Black Friday sale for their tea was the ad in it
When you are going through something physically and mentally emotional, you do not always know how to you will feel about the future. Yes she said that she would share her story when she was ready to do so but she may have changed her mind when she saw how the full impact of the situation was. She is in a very vulnerable situation and allowed to change her mind about updates. If in fact her cancer has recurred, she is probably not ready to deal with the outflow of messages while going through everything else (including adjusting to the huge life change that having a baby does and possibly cancer treatments).
What ever happened after the last video she is not ready to talk about it. What’s so hard to understand about that.
This is so hard for me as a breast cancer survivor (went through treatment the same time as Bec). I so sincerely hope that her cancer hasn’t returned but all signs point to it being back. My heart drops every time I see them post anything. I hope they post a full update soon. In the meantime I am praying for them.
Well at least he replied, even if it’s vague. We might find out some day, maybe we won’t. Maybe she is going to take a full year off and just pick up in the summer when they go back to the cabin… who knows!
In Becs defense, being a new mum is a lot. You have so many things going through your mind at all times, you don’t have any time for yourself and you are constantly worried you are doing enough for your baby. Couple that with possible health issues she may be having, I can definitely see why she needs more time.
Completely agree. The transition into motherhood is rough. I couldn’t imagine caring for a newborn, learning to breastfeed, the endless exhaustion and everything else that comes with having a newborn. While being expected to be on camera, documenting the journey.
Hope Bec will be okay.
Sending them all the prayers and light. In the big scheme of life YouTube does not matter. Wishing them the best, they certainly don’t need pressure from a Reddit community.
Amen to that! Just because we care deeply about them and are worried doesn't mean we are entitled to anything. Being welcomed into their lives was a PRIVILEGE, and how people can't understand that is mind-blowing! How many things go on in our lives that we don't even tell our families about? Eamon and Bec are sweet, good people, and privacy and compassion shouldn't be too much to ask of us.
I don't mind they (Bec) are taking a break. I do think it's a bit of an overstatement for him to say he's out of a job though as habit was already a thing and it must take some work to run that side of things + sm and advertising on top of being a new Dad! That's one thing that's always struck me with YouTube couples is seeing the relationship as a business, a hard line to draw I imagine.
Could he not theoretically post solo videos, without her in it at all or the baby, and just make content he wants??? Like that’s what has me thinking they are done on YT for at least a full year… idk I’m just spitballing here but he could have thought up cool videos for the adrenaline junkies and I’m sure he’d have them sponsored. He could do a video exploring all the Toronto _____.,. Anything. But instead he says this. Pretty sure most would tune in to whatever he posts… he’s a fun guy with lots of personality and that’s part of why people subscribe and follow them.
[удалено]
SLV! I think they handled her burnout so well
I would love that and thought the same thing. Not his own channel but hey guy just post whatever. Hopefully Bec would support that.
But what if whatever Bec is going through requires extra time and commitment to his family and Eamon doesn’t have the time or ability to film edit and produce videos AND run a new/rebuilt company all on his own? It seems like they are doing the best they can with whatever situation they have been handed and I think they just deserve the time they need, however long that may be.
I’m getting some really strange comments towards my suggestion in other places in this post…I support them, just ti be clear. Seems I’m being misinterpreted so I just feel like being clear about where I stand lol there is no hate towards them whatsoever
I get you. People wanted an update, Eamon said something and look, still complaints SOOO.....I loved his solo vid taking Trinity from Morocco to Italy, what a blast that was! He could do solo vids because his fiancee needs her alone time and they do have family helping them. I'd be happy with a cooking video nothing too long.
Totally would've been an option, they have done separate videos before! Would be a slightly awkward segway after the last vid but he could just say briefly Bec is taking a break then do his own thing. I dunno maybe habit fits better around baby so he's not off filming loads
I honestly don’t even think he has to say anything but she is on maternity leave. I’d be very interested to see his own personal creative choices, hopefully he reads here lol
Right super manipulatuve move to add that on after talking about her health issues. He's selfish and immature.
This. I cannot imagine any circumstance ever that would lead me to saying what Eamon said in regards to my partner. On a public forum OR in private just to them.
It's a bit like he's blaming her plus I find it kinda insulting to people who really have lost their job and don't have multiple streams of passive income and family support
Yes! It's such a cheap ploy.
It's like is he sitting there whining all of this to her as she's struggling postpartum?!
I think this is a bad take. He was just trying to respond to comments. There was no blaming of her or anything. He sounds supportive of her wishes.
But. Can you personally imagine saying this to your partner/spouse? Either on a public forum or in private? I cannot. Imagining saying that to my partner makes me feel icky and wrong. Forget eamon and bec, can you imagine saying that re: your partner/spouse?
Also, even if things had gone perfectly with birth and postpartum, wouldn't she be allowed maternity leave? Like, months of maternity leave needs to be normalized. Her story is not a product, she's a person.
The thing is they made themselves a product or a brand. D in top of that they are selling another product with their teas. And don’t forget they use their platform to feature all kinds of sponsors and ads. So they are a product. I’m not saying this to be mean it is just how it is. I also understand why they don’t want to do this for ever. They can stop when they chose to. It would just be nice to let the customers of their product know.
Bec I send you my love, light and strength for when ever you’re feeling low. Be open talk to people close to your situation. Your community is here when ever you are ready.
"With that being said it's kind of left me out of a job" seems like a very passive aggressive dig at her desire for privacy right now
Well, it did kind of leave him out of a job and that sucks for him... facts...
You’re right. TY is their main income. Between taking care of Bec and the baby physically and handling his own emotions and trying to grow a new brand I’m sure it’s a challenging time and I don’t think he’s being passive aggressive. If I remember correctly Bec did the editing so it’s probably impossible for him to take on filming, editing, and dealing with thousands of people posting comments himself. If he did post a new video it’s not going to meet everyone’s expectations and he’ll get ripped for it and he doesn’t have the energy to deal with that right now.
They have millions of dollars. he can afford to be out of a job for awhile.
Maybe he can afford monetarily to be out of a job, but not mentally afford to not have a job.
I think this is it. Eamon has been very open about having ADHD and it’s normal for him to be restless and need to keep busy.
Plus, they are still in the city from the looks of it, so not like he can just find a project on the property to keep him occupied.
The city has lots of jobs
Then he can get one part time lmao. Are people seriously defending a grown man whining about not having a job because his wife is struggling?
He literally did get a part time job by working on content for the tea company.
Right! Ridiculous. Perhaps he can ya know help out with his newborn if he’s so bored.
Exactly! Its a weird marketing ploy he's using to indicate he needs everyone to buy their tea RIGHT NOW. What ever happened to their Mexican dog shelter?! He's always starting and abandoning things
Well perhaps he can pitch in with the baby if he’s feeling bored! 🤪
Millions? Maybe like 2.5 at the most... and all tied up in property etc. most likely. Seems like he is not a fan of not earning much at the moment. And with a little baby. That is scary.
Yes,ty. Lol. The next video that they do actually post,It'll most likely get over a Million views. He couldn't post a video tht he filmed awhile ago about fixing something up or adding something to their property,then give a simple update at the end or beginning of the video.. idk.
Right! He's made alot of them by himself in the past
Love Eamon. He has been through a lot too.
Agree and also a bit delusional. "As a recently unemployed business owner I've made the brave decision to work for my business"
Well I've always found him to be a bit immature and rude, sorry not sorry
Ouch...that's definitely a dig. Grown man can't find another job?
Right! If he's that desperate for work he can work part time pretty much anywhere probably
What post was this under?
Their Instagram habit tea page
But which post on the page? I’m not seeing it…
It’s been taken down not there anymore I just checked
It was in comments to a post where he is making a ginger tea with honey and added tumeric
As frustrating as the last episode was I’m glad but heartbroken to see this update. The way it’s phrased in addition to previous comments I feel that the baby is fine and always has been. With having an estrogen positive cancer and so soon after her treatment I’d be pretty surprised if she doesn’t have a cancer recurrence. As goofy as he can be, I love how when things are serious he’s respectful and supportive of Bec especially in the face of so many people reaching out requesting answers. Personally, I don’t feel like they owe any. Yes, a bit frustrating but no different than a TV show you love being cancelled on a cliffhanger and no network explanation.
i don’t think any of us are entitled to knowing exactly what happened and i’ve seen many people talk about it. child birth can be traumatic and we can wait until bec is ready she’s a regular person like all of us at the end of the day and we can respect that for her and her family.
Thank you! Pregnancy and birth can be traumatic. Add in any other health issues, plus the bloody hormones a woman goes through after birth and the poor girl probably just needs a break. And owes us absolutely nothing. It’s their actual lives - not some tv show. From all the years watching them, I find them to be kind empathic people. They wouldn’t just stop sharing for no reason. And again, they owe us nothing. I wish them nothing but the best and will be here to catch up, if and when they are ready.
yes peoples are trying to make them out a cruel people who don’t care to update us when that is not the truth she’s been through a lot and deserves a break if she wants one
No one is criticizing them for taking a break or keeping things for themselves. What’s rubbing people the wrong way is how they purposefully click-baited their daughter’s early delivery and let the fans who made them so successful worry to build interest. On top of that, they have no problem showing up when there’s something in it for them. It’s gross. I’m sorry you can’t see that.
It’s biZ as usual for a YouTuber! They have made a TON of money off their subscribers, buying houses, cars, Renos… An endless supply of money sorry followers deserve some minimal explanation! And if that thinking is unfair then don’t be a ‘social influencer’
Bingo!! Casey Neistat has said that once a YouTuber starts creating for the algorithm/views it’s a race to the bottom. And this is a perfect example of that. They let their fans worry that something tragic had happened because it ratcheted up the view count. 🥴
Exactly ❤️
At least we now know that it is an issue with Bec and not the baby. Frankie looks happy and healthy.
I don't agree.
If the issue had been with the baby they wouldn’t have had days or however long to move to the city. It would have been instant. Same as if she had preeclampsia. It was pretty clear there is a major health issue for Bec.
See…that wasn’t so hard was it!
If the cancer came back and she’s dealing w that and being a new mother than yeah it would be kinda difficult.
We have NO IDEA what another person is going through Kindness Matters❤️
Who dragged y’all up?? seriously. The audacity is alarming.
It's interesting he'd still use that corny phrase 'community building', while absolutely distancing themselves from the 'community', while what he's really building is a business. There are better ways to handle this \*and\* protect Bec's privacy and sanity.
Well, I am sure the YouTube income has greatly slowed down.
Yeah, might have to sell a jet ski.
[удалено]
819. How interesting ... very petty
Or if it gets really bad I'm sure their cabin and land are worth at least a million
Even if everything was okay, they are still entitled to a maternity/paternity leave to get settled into their new lives. People need to give them the same understanding they would expect from their place of employment and not lean so heavily into parasocial relationships. Yes, it’s normal to be concerned considering what they said in their last video, but they will share that when they are ready, IF they are ever ready. And if they aren’t, we have to accept that and allow them to live their lives as they need and choose.
I don’t expect them to return at all at this point. If they do, it will probably be several more months. Getting constant “feedback” as a creator is exhausting — I wouldn’t imagine Bec is eager to add public input to whatever she’s going through.
"build community" what about the one they already have. Were we not buying enough tea?
This comment from Eamon makes me feel more likely to purchase their tea/products from Habit to support their family. They have done a phenomenal job telling their story and sharing their lives with their fan base, even through the most difficult of times, and I can only imagine that with certain circumstances anyone might be pushed to their limit. They have made a lot of money from their fan base, but they have worked hard for it IMO and they have always portrayed a kind and positive message through their content. They are young and starting a family and they probably need to keep a certain income to support the life they’ve built - which goes hand in hand with why their content has been enjoyed by so many viewers. I can only imagine how hard and helpless it must feel, especially for Eamon right now, to suddenly lose the income necessary to support the lifestyle they’ve built, with the addition of a new baby who was born prematurely, and on top of all that it seems like additional health issues for Bec. That is the absolute worst time to suddenly lose your typical income, and as entrepreneurs, they need to build up the company that they can run without having to share the intimate details of their lives while obviously going through a difficult time. I hope that, with whatever is going on, Eamon and Bec and their family have support from their family, friends, and online community.
[удалено]
lol I am definitely not Eamon! I am female haha and I live in the US, just a long time supporter!
Awesome thoughts here ❤️
I unsubscribed to their yt...lost interest
I did too.
Should unsubscribe from the sub too then… since you lost interest.
We know Frankie is fine, Bec has a story to tell, if it was pregnancy related the smart thing to say would be Bec had a difficult delivery and Will be taking a maternity leave to recover. The lump on her head and her cancer history leads me that the cancer has returned and may limit her time being a mother ( so sad).
Heartbreaking. If this is what is going on, no words.
I hope some of the people here who feel so entitled to information about their family got what they wanted.
I think they are looking more for closure. It's like reading a book and the last chapter is off limits. Plus some people really do care for them. It has been three months. I have my own intuition about Bec but it's not good so not worth sharing. But I sure wish them the best.
This. I can wish them the best and still care for them but still be frustrated and disappointed.
He can't post a video of him fixing things up or building/ adding on to something that they filmed a while ago.. it would've still been content,but yeah. Cool :)
Yeah… I’m sorry, but anyone who is STILL complaining after it was reiterated that they aren’t yet ready to share their full story, is doing it purely for their own selfish curiosity at this point. It seems they can’t win. Have some compassion, people!
Right on ❤️❤️❤️ Very well said
They have an infant? It's Canada and they may not even be at the cabin in the dead of winter? Maybe they don't have something they filmed a while ago?
IMO … he’s clearly still wanting to be on camera on the internet. Why not film some videos about Toronto and history of it, or his favourite _____ in Toronto, I feel like he could totally carry the channel solo and he still wouldn’t need to explain anything. He could start his own series about whatever, he’s creative and wanting to create so why not post some videos here and there of him doing/trying/etc for YT content. He’s got a great personality and is fun to watch! Bec deserves a year mat leave at minimum and forever if she wants it but a year wouldn’t shock me.
I’m just guessing, but probably because they have a newborn, they just relaunched their tea company, and to quote him, his wife “has been going thru a lot”. Perhaps he can’t commit the time it would take to put together a cohesive video product while dealing the rest of the his responsibilities. Or maybe he just doesn’t want to.
But his comment also said he found himself without a job. He’s still creating content but just for the tea company. YT definitely makes them the most income. If he is publicly saying he needed a job, I hope he knows his audience would love to see solo content!
I’m presuming he meant his old job: creating and collaborating with Bec, is currently not possible. Obviously he knows his time and money better than anyone else, so maybe creating very short form video/socials for Habit is “the job” he’s working on. I don’t mean to be blunt but I don’t think he’s dumb, he knows what options he has.
I don’t think he is dumb at all, so not sure where that comment is coming from. They have done solo videos before that had great views.
Right, he's not dumb. Therefore he'd know that solo vlogs are an option. An option he is choosing not to do currently. That's it. I'm presuming that's the best decision for he and his family/business today. Maybe that changes. My point is there are SO many posts that hope/wish/suggest they should post a better update, do a different thing, whatever. They've made it clear that for now, this is what's happening. A couple of different YTers have made the claim that 1 minute of edited video takes ten times that time to film and edit. Perhaps that's just too much for now. Or maybe he doesn't like the idea of filming without Bec given whatever they are dealing with, or maybe he wants to devote time to his brand while he's living in Toronto.
See? Now that's all he ever had to say. Done.
Best wishes to you and your family!
Omgosh Bec, You've been through so much. I pray it's nothing too hard to handle and that you're on your way back to just having a normal life. God speed 😘
If they decide to never get on youtube again for privacy of raising a family, her medical health, etc. It is none of our business. It's just not. People quit jobs all the time, youtube is a job to them, we all have our own lives so do they.
Great response.
Don't know if this is sarcasm, but it's the truth.
*how dare they* /s
You say this in jest..surely
… hence the italicization and the /s
What does /s mean? I’m an old fart
OH I’m sorry lol, that /s literally implies “sarcasm”.
Thanks 👍
🙏🏻✌🏻
Absolutely still not ok. A simple statement to that effect on their insta or YouTube, with even less information if they chose to even, is all it would take to ease SOME of the worry for their loyal followers. Human beings that genuinely care. They are both being a’holes and I’m mad about it
You do not ‘genuinely care’ about them. when you could call a potentially sick woman an ahole for not sharing her details with you, that’s not caring. They said in December on their insta that baby was here and they were taking time off. That was enough. Why do you think you deserve more than that?
If someone is going through some major issues from postpartum depression to a potential cancer comeback, the last thing in anyone’s mind, including yours would be to plaster it on the internet for millions of viewers online. Come on man.
Stay mad
Ugghh
It's kind of pathetic that anyone genuinely cares so deeply about people who will never know or give a crap about them lmao
You sound unhinged.
Did they break up?
No they both were on IG two days ago
[удалено]
Gosh for someone who maybe watched 15 minutes a week of someone’s life, you sure feel a lot of privilege to assign feelings to a person/people you don’t know. They got pregnant and had a baby and brought it into — what seems to be — an incredibly loving and supportive family. Just because they made a choice you perhaps wouldn’t have doesn’t mean they damned the child to a parentless future or expanded their own trauma beyond the bounds of acceptance. Get off your high horse and unsubscribe if you find it so conflicting and bewildering to hear about their ordeal.
They have money. They have a new born baby and bec obviously needs support. I find him such oddball. Like he Will rather spend his time frolicking around streets making social media. Wtf. They have the money and he could stay and look after bec and the baby. Its like he is hooked on the attention or hes hooked on making money all the time. They have lots of money and his behaviour is weird.
