TikTokers Matt and Abby Break Silence After Leaving Kids in Room to Go to Dinner on Cruise: 'Completely Untrue'

Mar. 15, 2025

In a new post, Matt clarifies that the children were not alone while the couple were dining, and that the couple had “someone with our children at all times.”

“So we ended up taking them for 5 nights and it became apparent that they weren’t enjoying it and therefore we weren’t either,” the viral mom wrote on Instagram. “So THEN we switched our dinner time to AFTER their bedtime and FaceTimed the monitors while we ate.”

Saying that some of the information circulating online is “completely untrue,” Matt adds: “We take our role as parents extremely seriously, and we love our children more than anything in the entire world, and we’re very protective of our kids.”

“And people started to speculate, and believe, that we had left our children alone in their staterooms,” Matt continues. “And that is just completely untrue. We had someone with our children at all times on this boat. Period.”

“Even if we are sleeping in the exact same room as the boys, we always turn their monitor on,” she says, adding, “Even when we would tag-team and take turns at family dinner, we would turn on FaceTime so we could also have eyes on them as their parents, if we weren’t the ones attending them in that moment.”
