I'm raising my kids with my two wives, and not one more
0:03
We're a problem. With three kids. We have definitely received judgment and opinions about what we have going on
0:10
You're teaching your kids that they'll never be enough for someone. Men slash women only need one spouse
0:18
My family right now, my siblings, they know. My mom does not
0:23
So today we're going to break the news to her that this is my family
0:28
Is there somewhere for me to hide? Oh, my f***er. Give me a minute
0:35
Good morning. What's up? Hi. How are you? I'm Joey. I'm Brianna
0:43
I'm Corey. And we're a problem. I'm a poly king with two wives. I am officially married to Brianna, and I intend to marry Corey for the end of the year
0:51
Brianna. I've been with her about three years. My partner in crime, for love of the death
0:56
Me and her, and that core. We've been with her for about a year, two years
1:01
and now, I can't imagine life without her. We're polygamists. We're not just swinging
1:06
We're tied to a partnership. To explain the dynamics of our relationship
1:12
I can say we are definitely in love. We're intimate on a mental level, on a spiritual level as well
1:17
And the three of us parent our three kids together. We all do cooking, we all do a little bit of everything
1:22
you know? Nobody's bigger than the plan. Have you always been polyamorous
1:26
This is my fifth polygamy relationship. I've been polygamy for eight years
1:30
When we actually first got together, I told him I would never do that. I would never do that
1:34
But eventually, I was pregnant with my son. And I'm like, hey, you know what
1:38
Having another woman around could definitely, and has definitely helped. Let's get some plates
1:44
It's time to cook, baby. It's time to serve. How and when did you meet Corey? I remember this day
1:48
Daddy here told me to give him a description of what I find interesting or attractive in a woman
1:55
and I gave him a list of things. Full list, in detail
2:00
He was doing a music video for one of his songs and he invited Corey, so that was the first time I met Corey
2:07
And instantly, I'm like, oh gosh, she's so pretty. It was a powerful chemistry immediately, so it just worked
2:13
Corey, were you nervous about joining a couple who already had kids? Knowing that Joy and Brianna had kids
2:19
wasn really a concern for me to be honest I love children I was very much excited to venture out into something new So this is RJ He just woke up So he not the brightest right now
2:32
Give him a little bit of eggs and he's going to turn right around. Right. He should be happier
2:36
Here we have Olympus reign. And then we do have one more Ray Ray
2:41
But she's in spring break camp. Corey, do the kids think of you as their mom
2:45
So oftentimes the kids do call me mom. Especially RJ. Olympus doesn't speak yet
2:51
but I know when she gets older, she will. I can feel it in my bones. It's time to change
2:55
You really. I don't know, I'm feeling like... I like the same. Same
2:59
So when it comes to Olympus, me and Brianna do share mom duties
3:03
It's like I'm her mom too. My pregnancy with Olympus, Kory definitely helped me through it all
3:10
especially with me working. I'm coming home, feet rub, back rub, food cooked
3:17
She just made it so much easier for me. She doesn't have any of her own yet
3:22
so this is good practice for once they do. Yeah, that's so true
3:27
We're actively trying to. What's good? Hello! Hi! The two men of my life
3:33
This is actually the bed we all sleep in. I sleep in the middle
3:36
Have you experienced any judgment as a result of your family setup? We have definitely received judgment
3:42
and opinions about what we have going on. Personally, I don't give a
3:46
The producers asked our audience this question, Can a polythruffle be good role models as parents
3:52
Okay, so this would be the first response. Absolutely not. You're teaching your kids that they'll never be enough for someone
4:01
Maybe our kids are just going to be too much for someone. So they need someone else to handle them as well
4:08
Let me see. Real men slash women only need one spouse. I don't know
4:14
I'm a real woman. And I need both of y'all. No child should have to bear the onset confusion and stress of having two mommies or daddies
4:27
Parenting is about the person. I lead by example and I teach them that I have discipline and I have hard work ethic
4:34
My women are structured women. They move as wives. They're intelligent. They're charismatic and they're driven
4:41
So, I mean, I don't understand. I believe that poly families are still so taboo because lack of knowledge If you don know something might work for you and you stuck in your ways or you afraid of being judged you won step out of that regular circle
5:00
that regular way of living, that regular way of thinking. How did your family and friends react to the news
5:04
that you would be raising a family as a throublem? I definitely lost a few friends because it's kind of like taboo, I guess
5:13
In my family right now, my siblings, they know. My mom does not
5:20
So today my mom is going to come over and we're going to break the news to her that this is my family
5:28
And those are my children. Mom, how are you? What's going on, my mom
5:36
How are you? How are you feeling about revealing this? Is there somewhere for me to hide
5:40
I'm shaking in my boots. I'm shaking in my boots. When you called me, you called me like it was some urgency
5:46
So what's going on? Just some stuff. Some stuff I have to tell you
5:50
And the stuff couldn't have been told to me on the phone? No, I don't think so
5:55
I don't think so. She's a very strong-willed woman. She's just a tough cookie, you know
6:04
The toughest cookie. That cookie's gonna crack. So there is some ones that I would like you to meet
6:13
My husband, Joey. and my wife, Rihanna. Your husband and wife. Yeah
6:24
We're engaged. Not married yet. Who engaged? Us. All. No disrespect to y'all, because I don't know y'all
6:34
But I didn't raise you that way. The you mean? I came all the way from West Boomer
6:40
I'm sorry. Tell me. First of all, I don't even know why you speaking
6:44
My fault. My fault. Cause what type of man? Two women? One is not good enough for you
6:52
My daughter not good enough for you. That's not it at all. So I'm trying to understand
6:58
You greedy? It has nothing to do with that. It has nothing to do with it. I'm just respecting your daughter's wishes
7:03
and who she really is. You comfortable with this? You good with this? Yeah, I am
7:09
And how long has this been going on? She actually met me with it
7:13
Excuse me. I asking my daughter Like two years You been doing this for two years Yeah I your mom I supposed to know
7:25
everything that's going on with my babies. I need you to make that make sense for me
7:30
When have we ever hold secrets from one another? These are the kids
7:35
Oh my God. So these are your kids? Our kids. So mine
7:41
but she did have them. You coming into a ready-made family? speechless. I am speechless and I hate to even be cursing in front of the babies
7:50
They're they are some beautiful children. Are you pregnant? Not yet. Mom. Give me a minute
7:58
What's your immediate reaction to everything Cory just told you? She just blew my mind. She blew my mind
8:06
I'm speechless. To tell me that not only is she in a polygamy relationship, it's kids involved
8:14
So now I'm a damn glamour. She done made me a glamour
8:20
Ain't this a little . I guess she'll be a good mom. I did raise a welder
8:24
I love you. My love would never change. But I still have to understand things
8:28
So I got to let this settle in. I'm going to go ahead and head out
8:33
I love you guys. I guess I got to say you guys
8:37
because this is what my daughter brought to me. Come on, y'all give me some love too
8:45
Move to the side. I really want to kick your . How does it feel having two wives raising your children
8:54
I feel like having two wives raising my children gives them a whole lot more nurturing love
9:00
I think it sets them up to be ahead of people in their peer circle
9:05
Are you hoping to have more than two wives in the future? Can you handle another one? Can I handle them
9:09
I can handle anything. Would I want to? Absolutely not. Would you be up for more wives joining your household
9:17
Absolutely not. I'm happy where I'm at with mine too. And there's so much love and respect
9:23
So what we have now is perfect. A throuple. Triangle. No squares. No other shape
9:31
Triangle is all that I need. Thank you
