POLYAMOROUS parents Trell, Emily and Allie are back - and this time, there are new additions to their family. When they appeared on My Extraordinary Family back in 2022, they were living happily as a polyamorous triad with two children - LiLi (now 16) and Reign, who was a baby at the time. Now, the triad has become a quad, after they met new girlfriend Kiley on Thanksgiving last year. Kiley told Truly that although this was her first multi-partner relationship, she was always "an open person" and she quickly eased into polyamorous life. Trell admits that initially Reign took "a little time adjusting" to Kiley joining the family, but Allie says that Reign now sees Kiley as another "parent figure". As if that was not enough, though, Allie was pregnant again. She gave birth to baby Chicago two months ago and with Reign now four years old, the parents have plenty to keep them busy. Allie and Emily agree that having Kiley around has been invaluable, as she helps care for Chicago when Emily and Allie need an extra pair of hands and the parents all help to raise Reign. Although the quad have now settled into their new dynamic, Trell acknowledges that they do receive negative feedback - with people often suggesting there is an "expiration date" on the relationship and that "it's not going to last." Kiley admits, too, that she did lose friends when she told them that she was joining a polyamorous family - but she quickly made peace with the situation, telling Truly: "If you can't accept the way that I choose to live my life then you don't need to be in my life." But there's another person even closer to home who took issue with Kiley joining the previously established family setup: Trell's sister Essence. With Essence coming over today and Trell ready to ask, for the first time ever, her opinion on him raising a poly family... Will her response send shockwaves through the family? Or does she agree that it "takes a village to raise a family"?

00:00We're in Polyquad with three children.
00:02Do you like having three moms, right?
00:04No.
00:05The negative feedback we get is people have, like,
00:08an expiration date on our relationship.
00:10Oh, that's cute. It's not going to happen.
00:12I always feel like the kids.
00:14My sister took a little bit of an issue.
00:16Now, how do you feel about Kylie joining our relationship?
00:21Hey, hey, hey!
00:22What's up, everybody?
00:23So, check this out.
00:24A lot has changed in our lives since the last time we saw you.
00:27We are a polyamorous triad.
00:28We met Ally, and we've been together now for two years.
00:31Okay, okay.
00:32So, as you guys know from the last episode,
00:34this is my wife, Ally.
00:35This is my wife, Emily.
00:36Of course, she remembers Rain.
00:38And this is baby Chicago.
00:40She's two months old.
00:42So, you know, everybody say hello.
00:44Lili's biological mom was very supportive.
00:47She's always been there.
00:48She's a great mother.
00:49We raised our daughter to be an amazing child.
00:5216 years old.
00:54And also, we have a new addition to the family.
00:57Hey, guys.
00:58This is Kylie.
01:00Show some love now.
01:02Here, baby.
01:05How does life feel different since Kylie joined your family?
01:08Life has been easier, I'd say.
01:11She's definitely another helping hand.
01:13She's Rain's favorite by far.
01:15She forgot all about us since Kylie's been here.
01:18He wasn't looking for another person to join our relationship.
01:21It just naturally happened that way.
01:23When we met her, she just had a different energy.
01:26We were stuck like glue.
01:28You were saying this is the first time you've been in a multi-partner relationship?
01:32I've always been an open person, so this isn't like far out of my scope.
01:37It's something I definitely was open to.
01:39It just happens to be my first time being in a multi-partner relationship.
01:45Kind of through mutual friends.
01:48Yeah.
01:49We were around each other.
01:50Yeah.
01:51And then you stayed.
01:52We stole you.
01:53We stole you from the world.
01:54It was like an organic thing.
01:55It wasn't like, will you be my girlfriend or will you be our girlfriend?
01:59Yeah.
02:00It was more so like, you came and then you just never left.
02:01So Trell and I are married.
02:02We're not yet married to Ally and Kylie yet.
02:03It's just about the proper timing.
02:04You know, every woman deserves the proper proposal, I would say.
02:19We do not sleep separately.
02:21That's not our dynamic.
02:22We're literally just like piled onto the bed.
02:25Exciting.
02:26Were you worried about how the kids would react when Kylie joined the family?
02:31I think our oldest daughter had a little time adjusting to it.
02:35Because all she's known is Emily and Ally.
02:38Now they like this.
02:40Do you like having three mom things?
02:42No.
02:43No?
02:44Well, she always says, she, yeah.
02:46She always says two moms.
02:47Kylie's newer to this situation.
02:49Yeah.
02:50She definitely looks at Kylie like a parent figure.
02:52She loves and adores Kylie, but she's still, you know, new to that situation.
02:55So she still says two moms.
02:58You got the seat up?
02:59Yeah.
03:00Society tends to think of poly relationships as inappropriate for children, but that's not the case.
03:07They are not in our love life.
03:09They are in our life as far as we take care of them, we provide for them, and we love them.
03:16So that's all they know.
03:17All they know is they got more love in the house.
03:21Ali is Chicago's biological mom.
03:24Emily is like, you know, her mom as well.
03:27So she does the mom duties.
03:29I help with Chicago as well.
03:32We all take care of Chicago.
03:34Everybody is here to make sure the children are being well taken care of.
03:37I don't know how single moms do it because even when it was just like me and Ali, we're still tired.
03:46If I just get like a little bit of a power nap for a few hours, I'll get back up and she'll go back to sleep.
03:50So we kind of just like alternate and Kylie kind of just like comes in when we need her outside of like what we're doing.
03:55How many more children would we like to have together?
03:58We don't have a number, but that's just more of a natural thing.
04:01If something progresses and it happens, it happens.
04:04I would say one of the challenges of being in a polyquad, sometimes dating.
04:12Just like any other group of people, we have to align our schedules with each other to be able to spend that quality time.
04:18And then we have to get the kids in order and stuff like that.
04:21And then of course, sometimes, you know, if we go, if we all go out as a group, I'm out with three beautiful women, right?
04:27Who in the hell is going to assume they're all mine?
04:30That's true.
04:32Like, it's not like that's a normal thing you come across.
04:35We always get the, yo, yo, who is shorty?
04:39Which one?
04:40Which one can I?
04:42And then they think I'm hating.
04:44They think I'm hating.
04:45They be like, nah, you trying to claim them all.
04:48They not like, bro, these really my ladies, I'm in a real relationship.
04:51So sometimes they don't realize until they know us.
04:54They're like, oh, this is real. They really together.
04:56Or we'll bring up the Instagram.
04:58Look!
04:59I would say the negative feedback that we get is people have like an expiration date on our relationship.
05:07So I feel like a lot of people go, oh, that's cute. It's not going to last.
05:11No, none of them should procreate.
05:14Okay, if we love each other and we have a family and we're building a family, what does that have to do with you?
05:21Like, why do you have, you know, other people's families?
05:24You know what I mean?
05:25So I think that's just people just.
05:28Ignorance.
05:29Yeah, it's ignorant pretty much.
05:31He's a pimp.
05:32One of his girls needs to give him an offspring.
05:35New age nonsense.
05:36So let me make this clear. The person that come in there has no sense.
05:41Because this is the thing. If I was a pimp, why would I be trying to have to?
05:46Right.
05:47Yeah, that makes no sense.
05:49No, it will screw the kids up.
05:53They said that six years ago.
05:56Just living proof.
05:58They probably will say it again.
05:59They need to focus on raising their own children.
06:01It's a blessing to have multiple people in the home that's caring for you.
06:05Have any of you lost any friends or family along the way?
06:08I personally have lost a couple friends due to the relationship just because of their own personal opinion on it.
06:14And for me, then, good riddance.
06:18Like, if you can't accept how I choose to live my life and love the people that I love, then you don't need to be alone.
06:27If you love one person and that's what you want to do with your life, we completely support that. We love that for you.
06:33It's just not for us. It's not what we want to do.
06:36We don't shame the knowledge of these people. We love love, period.
06:39So if you love one person, if you love 10, that's your business.
06:42Because if you have multiple kids, you're not going to love one child.
06:45There we go.
06:49Yo, what up, sister?
06:51My sister Essence took a little bit of an issue only because she's spoiled.
06:57So she likes her brother to be focused on her for the most part.
07:01I've been meaning to ask you, you know, how do you feel about me being in a poly relationship?
07:06I don't think I ever actually asked you that question.
07:08It'd be like my only little dynamic through it is the sharing part.
07:11But that's been since I was little, but I feel like it takes a village.
07:14So it doesn't really like affects me in no way.
07:16Or do I feel like it affects my nieces?
07:18So it's like, it's a good thing for me to just have you on the sharing part.
07:22No, that's real.
07:23And then, you know, you a mother.
07:26How do you feel about being poly?
07:29Do you think it impacts children negatively?
07:31No, I think being poly is like, it is what you make it.
07:34A parent is a parent.
07:35It don't matter how many parents it is.
07:37Rain gets to go to school.
07:38She can teach the other kids.
07:39Like this don't affect me at all.
07:40I just know I'm getting loved by multiple people.
07:42That's it.
07:43I appreciate that, sis.
07:46Go, go, go, go.
07:48I think that the polyamorous parenting is taboo because nobody really sees it.
07:56Even if they see it like on social media and stuff, like it's not something like they know personally.
08:01We just want to keep building, keep doing content.
08:05Growing.
08:06I know that's our goal.
08:07Everybody, you know, used to say, they say, oh, you guys weren't going to last.
08:11This is just temporary love.
08:13And look at us now, six years later.
08:17Now in a new relationship, a great relationship with Kylie.
08:21They say that it takes a few years to raise a kid.
08:25Well, this is mine.
08:26Yeah.
08:27Okay.
08:32Her crazy self.
08:33Wow, she got that time break.
08:34We know the future for us will be everything we dream of and imagine.
