'My ex-husband donated his sperm so I could have a child with my new girlfriend'

A mum living with both her ex-husband and her new girlfriend has shared how they split parenting duties. Linda Fruits, 33, from Sunrise, Florida, America, was in a relationship with Christopher Haerting, 36, for eight years before realising she is a lesbian.

They share sons Elliot, four, and Owen, two - and recently welcomed a new addition into their house. After their relationship came to an end, Linda met now-girlfriend Maddy Gross, 36, and invited her to move into the joint family home.

The same-sex couple asked Christopher to be their sperm donor - with the three of them welcoming baby Arlo into the world last month. Now, Christopher acts as father alongside the two mothers, forming a three-person parenting team under one roof.
