JOSHUA and Katherine were together for 20 years before they got a divorce.
But the childhood sweethearthearts, who have four children – Josslyn, 17, Helena, 12, JJ, 10 and Hannah, seven – have continued to be in a relationship despite ending their marriage.

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.”
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

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.”
