A polyamorous woman who is ‘married’ to a husband and wife has revealed they are expecting their first child together since becoming a ‘thruple’.
Courtney Cantano, 27, from Huntington Beach, California, started dating married couple Matthew, 32, and Michelle Cantano, 31, two-and-a-half years ago.
She later moved in with the couple and their sons, Dario, eight, and Anthony, three, and has become a second mother to the boys.

New normal: Anthony, left, and Dario are said to be well-adjusted to having to mothers. They call Courtney ‘purple mom’ and Michelle ‘blue mom’ because of the colour of their hair
She said: ‘Both boys really easily transitioned into a polyamorous family, they call me “purple mom” and Michelle “blue mom” because of the colours of our hair.
‘I fell in love with them and they fell in love with me, they naturally started to call me “Mom” within six months.’
Courtney shared a heartwarming video of the moment the boys learnt they were both going to become big brothers in January.

Anthony is less certain but later decides he will just ‘need help’ learning how to be a big brother.
Courtney, who is due to welcome a boy in October, said: ‘The boys are very excited about the baby’s arrival, all three boys will get along great and we will make sure to give them all the attention they need.

‘Another benefit of having three parents is they get lots of love and attention, they’re also surrounded by a lot of grandparents, family members and friends that spoil them too.
‘I’m very lucky to have both my husband and wife, Michelle and Matthew, around to offer extra help with the baby.
‘After showing family and friends, everyone thought the video was cute and very sweet – we are all very lucky to be surrounded by a lot of love and support.’
