Not only this, but since getting back together, the couple have decided to open their relationship to another woman they matched with on a dating app.
Now, Joshua, Katherine and their new partner Abby are not only raising four kids together, but there's even a fifth on the way too.
Opening up to Truly, on a recent episode of My Extraordinary Family, the throuple confirmed that the children have fully embraced Abby into their lives and now, Katherine is pregnant with her fifth child.
The throuple are planning to raise the baby girl together and will even give the child Abby's middle name as a tribute.
Abby said: 'To me it was going to be an experience, but it ended up being so much more than that.'
Joshua recognised: 'I do feel like it will affect the children somehow, but I do feel it has affected them negatively in any way.'
While the kids think it's 'cool' to have a second mum in their life, being in a throuple has led to the trio receiving a barrage of negativity online.
Not only have people called the trio 'idiots' and described their relationship as 'weird,' but others have gone as far to accuse them of teaching their children to be 'immoral adults.'
And that's not all, as haters have even accused the trio of giving their kids a 'running headstart for confusion and relationship problems.'
Joshua recognised: 'Being in a throuple, we get judged, we just do.'
I'm married to a man double my age - now we've become a throuple
To this, Abby said: 'These people are so small-minded I feel sorry for them, maybe that's what their parents taught them but that's not what we're teaching our kids.'
Meanwhile, Joshua acknowledged: 'I love it, I love the hate. You hate us because you ain't us.'
Looking towards the future, Joshua beamed: 'I hope that our future holds marriage - I want them to be married to each other as well as to me at the same time.'
What is polyamory?
Polyamory is the practice of having romantic relationships with more than one person at the same time, with the knowledge and consent of all parties.
It can refer to relationships where one person has multiple partners or spouses, or where all parties are in a relationship with each other, for example in a throuple.
According to You Gov, 6.8% of people in the UK have been in a polyamorous relationship.
Big divide
YouTube users were left totally divided by Joshua, Katherine and Abby's relationship and many eagerly raced to the comments to express their thoughts.
One user beamed: 'Happy for them!'
A relationship is between two people. Not multiple. Y'all are ruining the children
YouTube user
A second chimed in: 'You are such a beautiful family!!! It was heartwarming to hear about the love you share.'
Whilst someone else wrote: 'I'm happy that they're all happy together.️ Wish them luck and a lot of joy with the little baby girl.'
But at the same time, someone else said: 'I feel sorry for the child.'
Another added: 'Just no.'
And a third commented: 'Three people making a mockery of an actual wholesome relationship. A relationship is between two people. Not multiple. Y'all are ruining the children.'

Bruno Mars says he's 'almost out of debt' after rumour he lost $50million
Bruno Mars has joked about his rumoured debt as her performed with Blackpink's Rosé in Los Angeles. Bruno, 39, delighted fans on July 13 as he made a surprise appearance on stage during Blackpink's Deadline World Tour Show. The singer, real name Peter Gene Hernandez, jumped onstage to perform with band member Rosé to perform their hit song APT. Celebrating the moment on social media, Bruno shared a clip of himself bounding across the stage as confetti fell from the ceiling. The star cheekily captioned the post: 'Almost out of debt BehhhhhBehhhhh!!! Preciate You ROSAAAAYYYYYY!!!! 🥳' Fans loved the joke from the artist and laughed along with his cheeky quip. 'ALMOST OUT OF DEBT lmaoooo 😭😭,' clarinha_lximenes. 'BRUNO YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR IS ICONIC ✨️✨️' The joke was a hilarious callback to the rumours from 2023 that the singer was in millions of pounds of debt, after gambling $50million (£37.4m) away at MGM Casinos. It was then alleged that the singer's long-term performance partnership, which has been in place with the company since 2016, was put in place to offset the money the star owed. MGM Resorts International denied the claims, stating: 'MGM and Bruno's partnership is longstanding and rooted in mutual respect.' The group continued in a statement in March 2024 to E! News: 'Any speculation otherwise is completely false; he has no debt with MGM. 'We're proud of our relationship with Bruno Mars, one of the world's most thrilling and dynamic performers. Together, we are excited to continue creating unforgettable experiences for our guests.' The song APT has been a huge hit for Bruno and Rosé, with nearly two billion streams on YouTube and 1.8billion streams on Spotify. More Trending Collaborations have been on a hot streak for the singer with his song Die With A Smile with Lady Gaga, 2.7b streams on Spotify. The singer's other hits include Uptown Funk with Mark Ronson, 24K Magic, Please Me with Cardi B, Just The Way You Are, and That's What I Like. It has been estimated that the 16-time Grammy winner is worth approximately $175million (£131m), all thanks to his hit songs, songwriting, album sales, tours, and lucrative Las Vegas residencies.

The rivalry has yet to explode into all-out animosity. But there is a growing sense of tension between the two protagonists - USA v Europe; the PGA Tour v LIV Golf; the artist v the scientist. The friction first became apparent during the US Open last year, when McIlroy's dramatic collapse over the closing holes opened the door for DeChambeau to win. The man from Northern Ireland reportedly left the course without stopping to congratulate DeChambeau, only doing so on Instagram a day later. read more in golf SCOT TO GO 'What is the point' - Emotional Scheffler reveals reason he could quit golf Things soured even further in December last year, when they met in Las Vegas for the Showdown, which saw McIlroy team up with Scottie Scheffler for the PGA Tour, to take on DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka from LIV. The pair met on the range before the event and McIlroy told a TV crew: 'I'd like to go up against Bryson and try to get him back for what he did to me at the US Open.' And DeChambeau replied: 'Well, to be fair, you kinda did it to yourself.' McIlroy is thought to have been upset by the quip, which was considered cruel. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK The duo then played alongside together in the last pairing of the final round of the Masters in April this year. McIlroy famously won in a play-off over Justin Rose, after one of the most white-knuckle gut-wrenching final rounds in history. DeChambeau later gave a sparky response when asked how Rory had coped, saying: 'No idea, he didn't talk to me once all day.' McIlroy later fired back: 'I don't know what he was expecting. We're trying to win the Masters. I'm not going to try to be his best mate out there.' Rory McIlroy explains haircut at Scottish Open Their rivalry is not yet up there with Ali v Frazier, but it is not going away. The two are both among the richest and most successful stars of their sport. McIlroy's Masters triumph completed the Grand Slam of all four majors and took him to 44 professional wins, including five major championships. DeChambeau has managed 14 professional victories, which includes two major titles. 5 McIlroy filed for divorce after seven years with Erica Credit: Getty Images - Getty 5 McIlroy won the Masters after a whirlwind 12 months that saw him call off his divorce from wife Erica Stoll Credit: Getty As a result of their achievements on the course, McIlroy's net worth is estimated to £260m, while DeChambeau has around £145m. McIlroy owns multiple luxurious properties the world, including a Florida mansion, a house in La Quinta, California mansion, an estate in Northern Ireland, and apartments in New York and Dubai. He also has a new mansion being custom made on the exclusive Wentworth estate in Surrey. Inside Rory McIlroy's whirlwind love life RORY MCILROY enjoyed a high-profile romance with former tennis world number one Caroline Wozniacki before their split in 2014. The following year, the golf ace began dating Erica Stoll, who he had first met on the PGA Tour in 2011. Erica often interacted with players through her role as the PGA's manager of championship volunteer operations. She even prevented McIlroy from missing his tee time at the 2012 Ryder Cup after some confusion over the time zone. The incident began a firm friendship between the pair, four years before their relationship turned romantic. McIlroy and Erica were spotted on a string of dates in Rochester, New York, in the early days of their relationship. Just eight months later, the couple got engaged in Paris and walked down the aisle at Ashford Castle in Ireland in 2017. The pair then welcomed daughter Poppy into the world three years later. Throughout their time together, McIlroy and Erica have kept their relationship to themselves, with the golfer keen to protect his family from the cameras during filming of Netflix's Full Swing documentary series. However, after seven years of marriage, McIlroy filed for divorce from Erica. The reasons for the divorce were not disclosed, but the Northern Irishman submitted documents to a court in Florida. However, a few weeks later, performed a U-turn on their decision to divorce. McIlroy told the outlet: "Thankfully, we have resolved our differences and look forward to a new beginning.' DeChambeau recently sold his swanky mansion in Texas to move into another in the same area. He is rumoured to be dating Lilia Schneider, a college golfer from ndianapolis. They have been pictured sharing a buggy at a LIV event. DeChambeau had previously dated another college golfer, Hunter Nugent, but she revealed that they had parted in 2022 and that Schneider was now with the American. He also used to date Sophia Phalen Bertolami who launched her own line of swimwear line with La Isla for a 'large cup' bikini wearer. 5 Sophia Phalen Bertolami launched a range of bikinis Credit: Instagram @sophiaandstella McIlroy's love life is equally complicated. Last year his marriage to wife Erica Stoll looked to be over as they prepared to divorce, before a surprise change of heart and a dramatic U-turn on legal proceedings. Before that, he spent three years with Danish tennis beauty Caroline Wozniacki before breaking off their engagement in a phone call that lasted just three minutes. In 2014, McIlroy was romantically linked with Meghan Markle, before she married Prince Harry. The pair flirted in a video shared on social media, as he helped her take part in the Ice Bucket Challenge, a viral trend adopted by many celebs to raise money for ALS.

"We are heartbroken and still processing this loss," wrote the society. "Dan truly believed in sharing his experiences and educating people on the paranormal. "His kindness and passion touched everyone who knew him." Rivera, who is a US Army veteran, was working as the lead investigator for the society when he died. His death came just months after he achieved viral fame on TikTok by posting about his paranormal tour and findings on the historic doll. The real Annabelle, a Raggedy Ann doll, has been blamed by its first owner for a blaze that destroyed the Nottoway Plantation in Louisiana decades ago. The toy was first given to a student nurse Donna in 1970 as a gift from her mother. Donna claims that Annabelle would move from room to room without explanation, and wrote eerie notes that said "Help us." A friend of Donna's mother named Lou even claimed that one time when staying at their home, he woke up to a feeling of being strangled and had scratches on his body. He remembers watching his horror as Annabelle stared at him during the attack, according to the society.

They then called paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, who inspired The Conjuring films, to look into the eerie claims. The doll was being held at the Warrens' Occult Museum in Monroe, Connecticut, until 2019, when Lorraine died and the museum closed. Legend has it that a man was killed by the doll after he banged on its case, despite being warned not to touch it. Rivera, who was mentored by the couple, took ownership of Annabelle and hoped to continue their work with his research and tour. His sudden death came after the Warren family had to squash claims that the doll had disappeared. 4 Rivera's cause of death hasn't been released Credit: Instagram/dan_rivera_nespr More to follow...
