Nick Viall’s wife, Natalie Joy, confronted a woman on a plane who was complaining about the couple’s baby.
The model recalled the incident in which she caught the passenger texting about their 15-month-old daughter, River Rose, when they got to their business class seats on Wednesday’s episode of her and her husband’s “The Viall Files” podcast.
“We’ve not left the gate, and I clocked the woman in front of me. Y’all know I love an eavesdrop phone read on an airplane,” she said.
“So the woman in front of me, who I thought honestly like was going to be quite nice because we made eye contact as we were boarding.”
Joy, 25, noted that River was in a “talkative” mood but that she wasn’t crying. But Joy took a peek at the woman’s phone, only to see that she had sent a text complaining about being seated next to the couple’s bundle of joy.
“So I read on her phone, the first thing I see is, ’18-month-old in business class.’ And I’m like, ‘Oh, here we go,'” she recalled.
The trash talk didn’t stop there as Joy saw the woman open up another group chat.
“She starts typing to her friends, … ‘There’s some young couple behind me in business class with their around-year-old kid screaming up a storm. The kind of people who think it’s cute. They need to learn how to quiet their kid down,'” Joy claimed the woman wrote.
Joy explained to listeners that the woman incorrectly spelled the word “their” as “there.”

“As she’s finishing her text, I lean up and tap her on the shoulder, and I said, ‘It’s t-h-e-i-r,'” Joy said, correcting her grammar fail.
The woman replied with a huff, turned away and continued typing to her friends about their interaction.
“She brings out her phone, same level, same brightness, same text size, and starts going, ‘She just confronted me about a spelling error. She’s reading my text from behind me. LOL. I respect it,'” Joy shared.
Joy admitted that she was ultimately “impressed” by the woman’s reaction.
Viall, for his part, said that he had no idea what was going on when his wife corrected the stranger’s typo.
The “Bachelor” alum, 44, and Joy welcomed their first child in February 2024 — two months before tying the knot.
