In July 2024, The Sunday Times published an candid look into the nuances of Hannah’s daily life, producing content about her life as a mother of eight and the challenges she faces behind the scenes.
Days after the profile was published, Hannah posted a video on Instagram addressing the portrayal, saying that the idea that she was being “oppressed” with Daniel “being the culprit” could not be “further from the truth.”
Months later, she spoke exclusively with PEOPLE about how her husband was a solid support system for her throughout the controversy.
Neeleman explained that she learned that “people will have opinions” on her lifestyle that aren’t always reflective of reality.
