A polyamorous throuple has shared their desire to start a family together - giving birth to one child each. Couple Kenzie and Legacy asked Amber to join their romantic relationship after meeting her on a friendship-seeking app - and realising she was their "missing piece of the puzzle".
While Kenzie admits to being hesitant about starting a polyamorous relationship at first, she researched the concept and quickly became "excited" about it. Now, the throuple have started house hunting together, searching for a home big enough for themselves and their future children. Speaking to YouTube channel Love Don't Judge, Kenzie said: "We do want to have children at some point in the future."
Amber added: "We're all on the same page when it comes to kids. We would all want to have one each - so three total."
Legacy quickly jumped in saying "at least", as the other two chuckled at the idea of having more.
However, it isn't just children that's on the cards for the throuple, with Legacy saying she'd like to "celebrate their relationship" with marriage.
Amber said: "It would be great to have a ceremony with all of our loved ones there who actually support us and love us."
Finishing off from Amber, Kenzie added: "Just because this isn't a traditional situation, doesn't mean that we shouldn't be allowed to have that traditional party."
Before becoming a throuple, the loved-up trio met on Bumble BFF, an app for people who want to build new friendships.
But while Kenzie and Legacy didn't download the app to expand their romantic relationship, they're pleased with how things worked out.
Amber said: "We all met on Bumble BFF. I remember seeing Kenzie and Legacy's profile.
"At first I was like, a couple, I don't know, but then I thought it could be fun so swiped right.
"We matched and decided to hang out. We clicked the very first day."
Kenzie added: "It just escalated from there over the summer months - and when those feelings started developing, with Legacy first, she brought it to me right away.
"I said 'No' initially because I thought if we try this and it goes poorly then we've lost our best friend.
"I was scared, I was really nervous in the beginning. [I was worried] that trying this out could lead to losing that relationship."
The throuple has received a very mixed reaction after opening up about their relationship online.
Kenzie said: "It's a little bit difficult for some people to wrap their heads around."
"Guys will make comments about being involved or like 'I want to join', 'I like girls too'," said Legacy.
"People also assume that I'm the 'guy' and I have two girlfriends.
"No - [pointing to Amber] she has two girlfriends, [pointing to Kenzie] she has two girlfriends, [pointing to herself] and I have two girlfriends."
While laughing, Amber said: "People are like 'Who's the man of the relationship?' and we're like 'There's no man, there's three women'."
Bouncing off from this, Kenzie quickly added: "That's literally the point".
Kenzie, Legacy and Amber have 128,000 followers on TikTok - as they strive to educate users about polyamorous relationships and how being in one has changed their lives for the better.
Commenting on their relationship, one user said: "I'm happy for these ladies because this polyamorous relationship suits their needs and wants.
"Not everyone is fortunate enough to find one special person, let alone two."
Another user added: "I don't believe these relationships work no matter what they say. I think jealousy always rears its head."
A third user said: "I was against the idea of polyamory before this, but I find their relationship to be sweet."
One more user added: "I foresee this crashing and burning for all parties involved."
