Were a throuple raising young children together —…
Good mother and father just would possibly come in threes.
An “inseparable” throuple who raise three children together say they’re more accountable than common mothers and dads.
Frank Eric Blackcloud II, 40, Tatyana Brown, 33, and Lexi Bowman, 26, live under one roof with children Oliver, 13, Sage, 7, and Naiomi, 5.
“Lexi came into our lives in the summer of 2025,” Tatyana told What’s The Jam about their unconventional association.

Eric, who works in pest control, and tattoo artist Tatyana first met 11 years in the past as associates before falling in love.
After Tatyana opened up about being biinappropriate, the couple cautiously explored non-monogamy – finally assembly canine groomer Lexi and deciding to construct a life together.
“Any time you step outside of what people are used to, there’s going to be a learning curve,” Tatyana said.
The throuple insists they supply a more steady, supportive and affluent home for their three children in San Diego, California.
Tatyana leads in the kitchen, Lexi takes care of the garden, and Eric handles heavier upkeep and retains the home pest-free.
School runs and homework are managed by Tatyana and Lexi.
“Finances are a shared responsibility,” Tatyana told What’s The Jam. “We’re currently in the process of formalizing that even further with a joint account.”

Tatyana and Eric had been raising their three children before welcoming Lexi into the fold as a quasi-step-parent.
“When Lexi first met the kids, it was intentionally low-pressure,” Tatyana said. “It wasn’t framed as a big announcement or major event.”
“Over time, as she showed up consistently and calmly, their comfort grew organically,” she added. “The first meetings weren’t dramatic. They were normal, which is exactly what we wanted.”

Tatyana insists the connection has made her more emotionally accountable – and even strengthened her bond with Eric.
“Being in a polyamorous relationship has forced me to become more emotionally accountable,” she explained. “In monogamy, it was easier to sit in my feelings quietly or push them aside. Now, I can’t hide from them.”
It’s also made her really feel less stress when it comes to Eric’s well-being.
“There’s also a different kind of support,” she dished. “I don’t feel like I have to carry the entire emotional weight of my partner’s happiness alone, and he doesn’t carry mine alone either.”
“Polyamory, for us, feels more intentional,” she concluded. “It requires more honesty, more self-reflection, and more communication. It’s not easier, but it feels fuller.”
