A video amid the ‘Ballerina Farm’ controversy captures content creator Hannah Neeleman receiving an egg apron as a birthday gift from her multimillionaire husband, Daniel Neeleman, heir to JetBlue.
Hannah Neeleman, 34, has been sharing her ‘traditional wife’ lifestyle on her Ballerina Farm social media platforms for years. Living on a 328-acre farm in Utah with her husband and eight children, she has embraced a life of traditional gender roles, leaving behind a potential career as an A-list ballerina. Her content features activities such as milking cows, raising chickens, and preparing food from scratch.
The Times of London recently labeled her the ‘queen of the trad wife’ lifestyle, portraying her as a victim of misogyny. Amid this controversy, a viral video shows her receiving a birthday gift from her husband.
In the clip, Daniel presents Hannah with a brown box as a birthday gift. “I’m hoping they’re tickets to Greece,” she says to the camera.

As she unwraps the box, Hannah makes additional jokes about a Greek vacation, but her husband, son of billionaire JetBlue founder David Neeleman, seems to disregard these hints. The gift turns out to be an apron designed for collecting eggs.
Social Media Response:
The video has sparked considerable backlash and outrage on social media, exacerbated by the Times article highlighting Hannah’s exhaustion from caring for her eight children to the point of being bedridden for a week, and her husband often finishing her sentences.
“She’s just praying for a vacation and he’s telling her ‘look now you can be even more productive’,” one X user commented.
“Whew. I feel so bad for her. Let this be a warning to young women: be financially independent and never quit your job for a man,” another advised.
