Throuples: US couple reveal how their bridesmaid became their girlfriend

A US couple have opened up about how their best friend – and bridesmaid at their wedding – became their girlfriend.

Tyler, 29, met 26-year-old Angel on a dating app in 2018 and quickly fell in love.

But after becoming engaged three years later, the pair from Memphis, Tennessee asked Angel’s college friend Sam to move in with them, forming a “throuple”.

The 23-year-old was right by their sides when Tyler and Angel tied the knot in May, performing the dual role as bridesmaid and girlfriend of the bride and groom.

Now the trio have detailed the struggles of being in a three person relationship – revealing how they navigate their sex life and the shock reaction from one disapproving family member.

At the beginning of their relationship, Angel said she experienced “jealousy” but explained they have worked through it now.
“We were scared to open up to each other, it’s intimidating to add a whole other person into your life that you can depend upon,” she told truly.

“I was being selfish but have worked through my jealousy. Now they go on dates, we go on dates, and all three of us go on dates.”

Their sex life works similarly, with Angel, Tyler and Sam all sharing one bed, but rarely being intimate as a trio.

Instead, two of them take the bedroom while the other “watches TV, cooks or cleans”.

But while adjusting to life as a threesome ran pretty smoothly, their relationship hasn’t been accepted by everyone.

A week before Tyler and Angel’s wedding, Tyler’s cousin found out about his polyamorous relationship and refused to attend – despite the fact he was set to be a groomsman.

However, Sam and Angel’s family found out through the throuple’s TikTok channel, and were very accepting.

Their social media platforms have however made them the target of online abuse, with the throuple admitting “backlash is a daily thing”.

But the trio – who realized they shared a connection after enjoying a “one night thing” at a festival – say they are stronger than ever.

In a recent video, they revealed they have “finally found the courage to show PDA in public as a throuple”.

And Tyler says he has plans to propose to Sam down the track too.
