Husband of woman with no limbs finally answers the question everyone always asks.

The husband of a woman who was born with no limbs has finally answered the question that is always on everyone’s lips.

Briel Adams-Wheatley has amassed an impressive 5 million followers on TikTok and a further 1 million on Instagram by sharing content that shows everyday life as a person with no limbs.

Born in Brazil, the influencer was born with a severe form of Hanhart Syndrome, which has just 30 cases known worldwide, believed to stem from vascular disruption of the fetus.

As a young child, she was adopted by a family in Utah, where she was raised, but despite living with a disability, Briel shares just how much she is still able to do.

One of Briel’s hobbies is experimenting with different makeup looks, and she regularly takes to social media to show how she can flawlessly apply her products and even apply false eyelashes. It’s an incredible skill.

Influencing career began in lockdown.

Like many people, Briel found herself sitting around bored when lockdown left her unable to go out and about, so to pass the time, she decided to open her phone and film a ‘get ready with me’ style video.

The 26-year-old told People: “I was like, ‘Let’s film a makeup video.’ So I filmed one just from the chest up, and it did really well. But all the comments were like, ‘Why aren’t you using your hands? Why aren’t you using your hands?”

Briel hadn’t initially planned to explain her circumstances to anyone, but when people kept asking the same question, she decided it was only right to show them her limb difference.

When she finally decided to show her full self on social media, her confidence began to grow, even in the face of negative comments from trolls.

Briel credits much of her confidence to her adoptive mom, who always encouraged her to be as independent as possible from a young age, which led her to develop a love of dance and even audition for her school talent show.

“I realized I needed to show people at school that I wasn’t just the kid in the wheelchair,” she said. “Before that, I wasn’t getting invited to parties or asked to hang out. But once people saw what I could do, everything changed.”

By high school, she had joined her school dance company team, and she began choreographing her own routines as a form of self-expression, much like doing makeup.

Briel’s transition and marriage to her husband

The 26-year-old hasn’t always been known as Briel, having come out as a transgender female in 2023, three years after meeting her husband, nd Ad, am on Tinder.

She says Adam understood her from day one, even building her a custom desk at the perfect height and doing everything to help make everyday life that little bit easier for her.

Before they married, she expressed interest in possibly transitioning, and recently, the loved-up couple addressed the most-asked question on social media.

Followers often ask Adam how he feels about Briel’s transition, which he has answered in an Instagram post, explaining how his wife told him long before coming out to everyone else.

“I started my transition a year after we got married, right?” Briel said to her husband in the clip, to which Adam responded: “I think so, but you told me way before everybody else.”

Briel then explained: “Yeah, I had also told him a little bit before we got married, too, that I was having feelings about it, but I just wasn’t sure if it was something I was comfortable with, actually fully going into and just keeping suppressed. And if he was comfortable with it and everything.

“But Adam was the first person to know before everyone. And I waited a few months before I did it publicly as well. I already started a few things behind the scenes.”

Addressing how he feels about Briel’s transition, Adam said: “I really couldn’t care less about her transitioning. I mean, like, I’m very happy that she found who she is. And I’ve seen a big difference in her happiness, confidence,e and everything. But I mean, I fell in love with her and not what she was, just who she was.”

He went on to say that the most difficult aspect was getting her pronouns right, both in private and in public, before Briel came out openly about her gender.

“It was hard going from like pronouns for more than one reason. One, because I knew before everybody else. So I had to use he/him in front of people, and I couldn’t remember who she had told yet or not,” he said.

“And so it was really confusing to use one thing at home and another [outside their home]. And then as soon as I got the pronouns under control, she changed her name and then started wearing wigs.

“It was just a lot of learning, learning, learning, learning, learning. But it was a good journey. She was patient with me.”
