Then she confirmed in a caption on the video sharing platform that the family has decided to quit TV. 'This just in: we're NEVER doing reality TV again,' Taya wrote. 'To everyone who found us through the chaos and chose to stay, thank you. Your support has made all the difference through this journey. And don't worry, we'll keep sharing our story … but this time, we're taking the mic." Polyfamily followed Taya and three other adults who formed the family they labeled a "closed quad." Their polycule is formed of Taya's husband, Sean Hartless, his girlfriend Alysia Rodgers and her husband Tyler Rodgers, who is also Taya's boyfriend. Each couple married before joining their polycule and have welcomed three children since becoming their closed quad, and they have chosen not to learn the children's paternity. Alysia and Tyler are parents to two children, whom they welcomed before entering a relationship with Taya and Sean. Taya previously opened up on how her and Sean first met the other couple and decided to form a polycule. At first, the couples would meet up half way between their home towns, making 12 hour round trips to switch partners. 90 Day Fiance's low salaries, 'long' filming schedule & demanding reshoots revealed amid Happily Ever After fan backlash Their first night together, they attended an event before splitting into separate hotel rooms. When it was time to go to sleep, they switched back to their spouses. Eventually, both pairs realised they "wanted more and more" and decided to introduce their children. What is a polycule? According to the Meriam-Webster dictionary, a "polycule is a group of three or more people in intimate polyamorous (consensual non-monogamous) relationships with one another." However, not all members of a polycule are necessarily romantically or sexually involved. Taya explained that each night the two men switch bedrooms, however she and Alicia remain metamours, meaning they aren't romantically or sexually involved. Describing their unique set-up, Taya said they just "indulged in what our hearts told us and let our brains follow."
