A couple who have been together for a decade and married for nine of those years, as well as sharing two children, have revealed how they opened their home to another duo.
Matt and Carmen, from Nashville, Tennessee, who share a six-year-old and a three-year-old, appear to have a conventional-looking family setup, but had often talked about opening up their marriage.
When they started swing dancing lessons they instantly clicked with their teachers, Brooklyn and Keith, and after broaching the subject of an open relationship with the pair, the foursome now live together.

Recalling how the lovestory started, Matt and Carmen explained that they first proposed the idea over drinks at their home.
One summer evening, while having some drinks round their pool, conversation came around to open relationships and the fact that Brooklyn and Matt and Keith and Carmen were attracted to each other.
After taking it the next level, Brooklyn and Keith officially moved into Matt and Carmen’s family home.

The foursome split their time between their original relationships, which they dub ‘OG’, and the new partnerships, now describing themselves as a closed hetero quad.
Carmen and Matt’s children think of Brooklyn and Keith as ‘godparents that lived with them’, and the two couples enjoyed hanging out as an extended family of six, as well as double dating.
However reactions from friends and family to the arrangement have been mixed, with many assuming that the quad are together mainly for sex.
But they believe polyamory is the way forward in modern living, and hope their relationship is a testament to this.
