This Man's 5 Wives And 11 Kids Rush To Kiss Him As He Returns Home, Viral Video Divides Internet
A man living with five wives and 11 children shares how their unusual family dynamic works and it goes viral
In Hindu society, marriage is traditionally viewed as a lifelong commitment, meant to last for seven lifetimes. It is expected that men and women remain with a single partner throughout their lives. However, in different parts of the world, not everyone abides by monogamy.
There are cases where a woman may live with three male partners, or a man might have two or more wives under one roof.
The Barrett Family's Unconventional Life
Today, we highlight a family that breaks the mould. In this unique household, one husband lives with five wives, and together they are raising 11 children. The husband, whose identity has been made public via social media, recently opened up about their lifestyle and expressed his happiness in this arrangement.
He stated that his wives engage in what he called 'healthy competition' to win his attention. Known collectively as the Barrett family, they practise polygamy, and the women refer to themselves as 'sister wives'.
How Their Relationship Works
The Barrett wives – Jess, Gabby, Diana, Cam, and Star – frequently post about their lifestyle on social media, proudly sharing moments from their family life. One particular video on Instagram went viral, drawing over 27.7 million views.

Going Viral: A Video That Sparked Debate
In the now-famous video, the wives are seen dropping their chores the moment their husband returns home. Whether cleaning, washing dishes, fixing the sofa, or holding a child, they all stop immediately, rushing to be the first to kiss him.
The clip, though shared in fun, gives insight into the family's dynamics and drew massive attention online.
Public Reactions Are Divided
The video attracted thousands of comments, sparking a wide range of responses.
One user wrote, 'I may never get such a relationship". Another commented, 'My soul trembled after seeing this".
Some found it troubling, with remarks like, 'Being poly is one thing, but being the only man in a relationship with five women is definitely suspicious".
Despite mixed reactions, the wives maintain their belief in polyamory. They argue that sharing a faithful partner is better than being with a man who cheats or constantly changes relationships. They also insist they have no interest in other men and are perfectly content sharing one husband.

Last Updated: Yuzvendra Chahal admitted he faked a happy marriage with Dhanashree Verma, citing time issues, incompatibility and hopes their divorce might not happen. Yuzvendra Chahal has made a startling revelation about his relationship with ex-wife Dhanashree Verma. The Indian cricketer, who parted ways with Dhanashree earlier this year, opened up about faking their marriage for quite some time in a recent podcast interview. The couple's separation surprised fans and sparked massive online discussions, especially with Chahal's name now being frequently linked to RJ Mahvash. Speaking to Raj Shamani, Chahal shared that the cracks in his marriage had been forming for a while. 'Kaafi time se chal raha tha," he said, admitting that they had been struggling for some time. He explained their decision to keep their issues private until a final decision was reached. 'We decided that we don't want to show the people jab tak nahi ho jaata kyunki kya pata naa bhi hota. Humara yeh tha ki jab tak hum ek point pe jaa ke pahunchenge nahi, we are not going to say anything," Chahal stated.

When asked if they were faking it, Chahal agreed and said they were hoping things might turn around. 'We were like a normal couple on social media," he said, indirectly admitting they maintained appearances in public while privately going through a rough patch. When asked if he was 'faking" the marriage towards the end, Yuzvendra nodded and said, 'yes." Chahal also shed light on what went wrong in the marriage. Calling marriage a 'compromise," he said that a lack of time and incompatible natures worsened the situation. 'Many times, their natures don't fit in, which leads to a clash," he explained. The cricketer, who remains one of India's most successful bowlers in limited-overs cricket, revealed that their hectic professional lives made it harder to salvage the relationship. 'Main busy tha matches mein, woh bhi kaam mein busy thi. Chal hi raha tha do ek saal se," he added, confirming their issues had been ongoing for one to two years. Reflecting on the emotional toll of constant conflicts, Chahal added, 'Jab woh roz hona start ho jaata hai na, fir banda kehta hai chhoro," indicating that the persistent fights eventually wore him down.

Yuzvendra Chahal Says He Was Called 'Cheater' After Divorce With Dhanashree: 'I Had Suicidal Thoughts'
Last Updated: Yuzvendra Chahal revealed he was labelled a "cheater" after divorce, faced anxiety attacks and suicidal thoughts, and found support in friends like Mahvash. Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal has opened up for the first time about the mental health challenges he faced following his much-publicised divorce from choreographer and influencer Dhanashree Verma. In an interview on the Raj Shamani podcast, Chahal shared that he was wrongly labelled as a 'cheater" after the separation, despite having been loyal throughout the relationship. 'After my divorce, I was called cheater. And I have never cheated in my life. I'm an extremely loyal person. You wouldn't even find a loyal person like me. I deeply care about my people," he said. Chahal expressed that what hurt him the most was how people jumped to conclusions without knowing the full story. 'That's what affects me that you guys don't even know what has happened and yet you are blaming me," he added. Chahal, known for his calm demeanour on the field, said he struggled with the intense trolling and baseless assumptions that flooded the internet after his breakup. 'Just because I'm seen with someone doesn't mean you'll write anything for views. And if you react and speak up, then 10 more people will come and troll you even more. Because they want masala all the time," he said, referring to his alleged relationship with RJ Mahvash. 'I know my truth and the people who are close to me know my truth so I don't care. Why do I justify to anybody when I haven't done anything wrong?" he added firmly. 'I Was In Depression For 5 Months": Yuzvendra Chahal The leg-spinner revealed that during this emotionally turbulent period, he experienced severe anxiety and even suicidal thoughts. 'I'd been in depression for four to five months. I got anxiety attacks. Only my close ones know this. I have never shared this anywhere for sympathy. I used to have suicidal thoughts because my mind had completely stopped working," Chahal admitted. He further revealed that he took a break from cricket to deal with his mental health. Despite having all the material comforts in life, he said he felt empty. 'You have everything in your life, all the luxuries, but you still don't have happiness. Then you get these thoughts — what to do with this life, just leave it," he shared. Yuzvendra Chahal Credits RJ Mahvash For Her Constant Support Chahal credited his close friends, including Pratik Pawar and RJ Mahvash, for helping him during his lowest phase. 'I didn't want to share it with my family because I didn't want to bother them. So, my close friends really helped me during this period. They were with me," he concluded.
