A couple who were featured in the Netflix documentary about the infamous Ashley Madison hacking scandal have recently opened up about the current state of their marriage. The documentary, titled "Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies & Scandal", delves into the scandal surrounding the online dating site that was designed to facilitate affairs for married individuals. In 2015, the site was hacked and the personal information of thousands of users, including the couple in question - Sam and Nia Rader - was released to the public.
At the time of the hack, Sam had been seeking "attention and excitement" through the site while portraying himself as a committed Christian husband on social media. Despite his previous infidelities, the couple had become viral sensations after a video of them singing a song from the movie Frozen with their daughter gained widespread attention. In the midst of the scandal, they posted a video online in which Sam denied ever meeting anyone in person or having an affair.
However, as revealed in the documentary, Sam had actually been unfaithful throughout their entire marriage and had even attempted to cheat with one of Nia's close friends. Despite the public exposure of their troubles, the couple does not place blame on the hackers for their situation. They have now shared that their relationship, which they describe as a "fairytale romance", has faced challenges due to their troubled pasts.
Nia, who lost her mother at a young age and was raised by her grandparents, was no stranger to infidelity as her grandparents eventually split due to it. Sam also grew up in a household where his father was unfaithful, leading to his parents' divorce. However, despite their difficult backgrounds, the couple found solace in each other and have credited their marriage for "saving" them from their troubled pasts.
After the scandal broke, Sam and Nia sought professional and pastoral counseling to help heal their relationship. They have since welcomed three more children and renewed their vows in 2019. They also wrote a book about their experiences, titled "Live in Truth: Public Scandal, Secret Vows, Restored Hearts", which delves into their journey of healing and forgiveness.
Despite facing criticism for their past actions, the couple stands by their marriage and the deep intimacy they have found through overcoming their struggles. Sam has acknowledged that he was "exposed" by God for who he truly was, but he is grateful for the opportunity to share their story and potentially help others in similar situations.
Now, with four children and a strong foundation of love and understanding, Sam and Nia are focused on moving forward and continuing to be open and honest with their children about their "controversial story". The Netflix documentary has shed light on their journey and the couple hopes to inspire others to work through their troubles and come out stronger on the other side.
