Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 A throuple have revealed all on their unique relationship, which has seen them be targeted by mean trolls Credit: YouTube/truly 2 Joshua, Katherine and Abby are raising four children together and now have a fifth on the way Credit: YouTube/truly 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.' Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club

I'm a 44-year-old gran & had 6 kids with 6 dads… trolls say the 27 year gap between my eldest & youngest is ‘not a flex'
Plus, scroll down as Tanetta responds to nasty trolls OH MAMA! I'm a 44-year-old gran & had 6 kids with 6 dads… trolls say the 27 year gap between my eldest & youngest is 'not a flex' A 44-YEAR-OLD grandmother has confirmed that she has six children with six different men. The mum-of-six is also a grandmother to four grandchildren, but has been accused of being 'selfish' for having a 27 year age gap between her youngest and oldest child. 4 A grandmother has revealed that she had six children with six different baby daddies Credit: youtube/@truly-channel 4 Tanetta Hampton, 44, had her first child at 16 and her sixth baby at 43 Credit: youtube/@truly-channel 4 The mum-of-six has addressed the hate she receives as a result of her unique family life Credit: Tiktok/@tanetta28 4 She also set the record straight on her future baby plans Credit: Tiktok/@tanetta28 Tanetta Hampton had her first child at the age of just 16, due to her family home being "dysfunctional" at the time. Now, Tanetta is mother to Niya, 27, Dyleek, 25, Darmanick, 24, Zion, 20, Kahlai, 17 and Naomi, seven months. On a recent episode of My Extraordinary Family, Tanetta opened up on her 'crazy' family life, as she reflected on her first pregnancy and told Truly: "I wanted to get pregnant. I know that sounds crazy but I actually wanted a baby because I wanted somebody to love." By the age of 26, Tanetta had five children to look after - all from different fathers - and she admitted that "it was a challenge being a single mum." Despite this, she recognised that she had to go into "survival mode" to get through that period of her life. But Tanetta survived the tough times and 11 years ago she met her now-husband Frederick, who proved himself to be a "kid-friendly type person" over the course of their 10 year marriage. As a result, at the age of 43, Tanetta decided to have her sixth child - a decision that shocked her grown up children. Not only did her eldest daughter Niya express concerns about the risks involved, which led Tanetta down the IVF route, but even her son Darmanick "thought she was losing it." And that's not all, as her daughter Zion "thought she was too old for all that,' while her youngest daughter Kahlai was "mad" by her mother's pregnancy. To top it all off, Tanetta's eldest son Dyleek found out during his mum's pregnancy that he was expecting his third child at the same time - so his sister and his child would be born three months apart, something he still finds "wild." I was a teen mum - staff wouldn't let me get my kid's ears pierced, it's insane However, when baby Naomi was born just seven months ago, it brought the family closer together - and even with a 27 year age gap between Naomi and Tanetta's oldest child, the siblings are now "coming around" to their unique family set-up. But the same cannot be said for Tanetta's social media comments section, as the grandmother has found herself on the receiving end of a stream of negativity and judgement mostly about having six different baby daddies and having a baby at the age of 43. Comments have described her situation as "not a flex at all" and many think it's 'so sad.' I want plenty more grandchildren. No more children Tanetta Hampton Not only this, but Tanetta has also been told she's "too old" and "selfish" for having a sixth child. She's even been accused of 'trying to compete' with her kids after getting pregnant in her forties. While Tanetta agrees that it is "not a flex', she shared: 'But it is a flex that I overcame all of that." Here's why I love being a young mum Tracy Kiss, who fell pregnant at 19, has revealed what she believes are the pros of being a young mother. The personal trainer and blogger, from Buckinghamshire, believes women who give birth in their teens make BETTER mothers than those in their 30s. She claims young mums snap back into shape quicker, have more energy and relate more easily to their children, meaning they're better behaved and happier. Tracy told Fabulous: "Women who become first-time mums in their teens make better parents than those in their 30s or 40s. "I believe if I'd been 10 or so years older before becoming a mother then I wouldn't have the relationship I have with my children now. "For a start, being older I would have had less energy and therefore less patience. "I wouldn't be as enthusiastic to speak to people after months of sleepless nights as I was in my teens. "My body snapped back to its pre-pregnancy size through fitness post-birth, which in turn gave me the confidence to date and find love again. I've never been happier than I am now at the age of 30 with two children. "If I'd have been alone at 40 with a newborn baby I'd be more tired, less happy with my body, less energetic and far more stressed from the shock of living my life for myself instead of putting others first. Sometimes age and the innocence of ignorance is a good thing. "As a teen mum I just got on with it, found my feet and became responsible and capable because at the time I didn't know any different." Clapping back to the haters, Tanetta explained: 'Each of my children from different dads are different and they all serve a great purpose in my life and in life in general. 'Some people don't understand it and that's ok.' Determined not to let the comments affect her and with her family now fully behind her, Tanetta is focused on the future and enjoying time with her "lit" family. And eager to set the record straight on whether or not she will have any more babies, Tanetta confirmed: 'I want plenty more grandchildren. No more children.' Social media users react The YouTube clip has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 32,652 views. Despite the rude remarks Tanetta often receives, social media users eagerly raced to the comments to share messages of love and support for the busy mother. I love when people confidently and lovingly live their best life, even though it is outside the 'norm' YouTube user One person said: 'Nothing wrong with having a baby at 43. You go girl.' Another added: 'This is not a shocking or disturbing story! This woman is not OLD! Good for her for being in a place to provide a loving and safe home for her baby with her husband.' A third commented: 'Everything about this is beautiful. I love when people confidently and lovingly live their best life, even though it is outside the 'norm'.'
