One of HGTV’s most popular and longest-running shows, ‘House Hunters,’ recently surprised viewers when it featured the show’s first-ever “throuple”.
A throuple is a relationship with three partners, rather than two.
In the episode titled “Three’s Not a Crowd in Colorado Springs,” Brian, Lori and Angellica (“Geli”) broke barriers by showing their search for the perfect home.
Brian and Lori, who have two children, met Geli at a bar about four years ago and fell in love.
While the three aren’t married, they did have a ceremony to honor and solidify their commitment to each other in Aruba.
Many viewers praised HGTV’s decision to nonchalantly feature the throuple, calling it “educational” .
Chelsey Riemann, a spokeswoman for HGVT, told ‘USA Today’ that they “feature all homebuyers and living choices”.
According to research by ‘Business Insider,’ polyamorous relationships are more common than most think .
They found that one in every five Americans will engage in consensual non-monogamy (CNM) in their lifetime.
‘Business Insider’ also found that around 5 percent of Americans are involved in a CNM relationship at any given time
