Remember the saccharine-sweet Jesus-loving vlogging couple that went viral when the husband surprised his wife with her very own positive pregnancy test. That’s right, a man telling a woman that the woman is pregnant, you don’t remember? You really don’t remember partaking in their smiles and hugs and laughs as they – already parents to two kids – forgot all about the poor fetus and concentrated on their viewers – “you guys” – and their imminent 15 minutes of fame?
Well, turns out that the husband of this upright and devoutly Christian family – who tried to teach his kids that gays are plain wrong – had an Ashley Madison account, and a paid one at that. Sam Rader, the male half of the SamAndNia YouTube channel, has allegedly been identified when hackers published the personal information of 32 million users of the dating site for cheating spouses.
The Daily Mail notes that someone using a credit card belonging to a “Samuel Rader,” with a billing address that matches the Raders’ home in Terrell, Texas—a home that is featured in almost every video Sam posts—made several payments on Ashley Madison beginning in September 2013, including two payments of $189. The domain of the email address used to create the account, “becausethatswhy.com”, was registered by Samuel Rader in 2011. (PerezHilton.com also notes the email evidence.)

The Twitter account above first discovered that Sam’s credit card information was among the data released online in the wake of the hack on Ashley Madison’s servers.
According to the data, Sam stopped paying Ashley Madison after November 2013. This was a few months before he posted his first video to go viral: “Good Looking Parents Sing Disney’s Frozen (Love Is an Open Door).” In it, Sam and Nia deliver a practiced lip synch of the children’s tune while driving through Texas with their daughter in the back seat. Since then, Sam and Nia have posted videos daily with a focus on family, marriage, and bible study. In July, Sam was forced to delete a video in which he and his wife convinced their five-year-old daughter that gay marriage is wrong. He explained the next day: “We are Christians. We believe in everything the bible says, and we believe that god created man and woman to be together.”
Sam, who has now made it is full time job to preach Christian family values online, is not the first “good man” to break commandment number seven. Family values activist and former 19 Kids and Counting star Josh Duggar had a paid Ashley Madison account, too.
By the way, Sam Rader had just quit his full-time job as a nurse after his YouTube channel really took off, riding on the crest of his allegedly fake pregnancy and subsequent miscarriage videos. Well, now that the news of his infidelity is out amongst his religious subscribers and fans, he might be having a taste of karma right now.
