Chris, Matt, and Cait are in a polyamorous relationship, and call themselves a 'throuple'.
Interviewed for Barcroft TV the trio explained that after six years together, married couple Chris (38) and Matt Brandt (28) decided to open up their relationship.
Unlike Matt Brandt, Chris Brandt had experienced heterosexual relationships in the past, and he invited Cait Earnest (28) into their home in 2015.
Now the three share a bed in their one bedroom apartment.
Chris told Barcroft TV
At first Matt was completely opposed to the idea but after a while we talked about it and he warmed up to it.
The three of us started to spend more and more time together and after about seven or eight months she was staying over five nights a week.
Chris and Cait describe themselves as bisexual, whereas Matt prefers to call himself 'homoflexible'.
I’m homoflexible so I like guys and I’m open, flexible to women - I prefer men.
I guess I had an awakening after I had a sexual experience with a women. It is just another body, another soul, a connection that I can have.
Cait admitted it had not all been smooth sailing.
She describes how at first she was frustrated about splitting time with Chris and Matt, but she said this was down to her own insecurity.
When we first got together I was struggling with the jealousy. With having a very strong connection with Chris and sometimes feeling frustrated that I would have to split time with Matt. But with a lot of that came a lot of insecurity, because I didn’t know where my place was in the relationship
Matt says that Chris told him he loves them both equally, which unnerved him at first.
The throuple have been cohabiting for two years, and have two dogs.
According to Matt, one particularly nice bonus is all the extra gifts at Christmas and birthdays.
