00:00Man, would you ever get married again?
00:01Absolutely not.
00:02Yeah, yeah, hell no.
00:04Welcome to Miz Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most unexpected stars
00:09who opened up about exploring non-monogamy.
00:13And it's a village full of love.
00:15The kids know love, and that's what matters.
00:18Number 10, Derek Barry.
00:20Over the past almost 10 years, we've kind of had to explain to people, like,
00:24no, this is, it's a, it's a trinogamous relationship.
00:28The beloved Britney Spears impersonator and RuPaul's Drag Race alum is famously in a
00:35throuple with visual artist Nick San Pedro and drag queen Mackenzie Claude, a.k.a. Nebraska.
00:41They've been together for years, and Barry never misses a chance to gush over his partners,
00:47whom he calls his cheerleaders.
00:49Having a third person, you have a mediator at all times.
00:52So if I'm arguing with Nick, Nebraska can step in and say,
00:55hey, you crossed the line, that was rude.
00:57Speaking to LGBTQ+, news outlet, Advocate, he emphasized the importance of honesty
01:03and communication in polyamorous relationships.
01:06Meanwhile, the main challenge in their three-way dynamic, in Barry's words,
01:11is that there are a lot of personalities at all times.
01:15Within our relationship, there's no jealousy.
01:17But if anybody even looks at them the wrong way, and I've been drinking tequila, it's on.
01:22That said, there's no denying that they're happy.
01:25Number 9. Frankie Grande
01:27Ariana Grande's half-brother is married to actor and influencer Hale Leon.
01:32Before tying the knot, he was in a polyamorous relationship with Daniel Sinison and Mike Poffies,
01:39who were married at the time.
01:40Madonna had warned him against throupling up, and just as she predicted, the relationship did not last.
01:46I was talking to Madonna, of all people.
01:48That's a name drop.
01:49I know. Talking to the Queen, and she said to me, I told her about the throuple,
01:53and she literally said, well, that's not going to end well.
01:57Later, in an interview with Page Six, Grande revealed that polyamory made him realize
02:01he was more suited to monogamy.
02:04The Celebrity Big Brother star has no hard feelings towards his ex-partners, though.
02:09I realized I wanted my own man, and I wanted a monogamous relationship with someone who
02:16was going to just love me.
02:19In fact, he even said he was grateful for them, because it led him to his ultimate relationship.
02:24All's well that ends well.
02:25But that disaster directly led to me realizing I wanted to be married myself,
02:31and then enter Hale, like, literally a few months later.
02:34You needed that.
02:35I did. I absolutely needed it.
02:37Number eight, Bob the Drag Queen.
02:39The RuPaul's Drag Race Season 8 winner has often spoken about his experience with polyamory.
02:45He was previously in a relationship with Ezra Michelle and Jacob Ritz.
02:49But rather than being a throuple like his fellow drag queen, Derek Barry,
02:54the three were in an open relationship.
02:57We're not a throuple.
02:58A lot of people think, like Derek Barry, that they're in this relationship where all three
03:03of them are, like, together.
03:06But Jacob and you two are not.
03:09I don't know her.
03:10While Ezra and Bob have reportedly parted ways, the latter continues to be polyamorous
03:15and reportedly has multiple partners, who in turn have other partners of their own.
03:20During an appearance on the Boyfriend Material podcast by Harry Jowsey,
03:25Bob shared that an open arrangement works for him because it allows him to maintain his independence.
03:31I'm a really independent person, and I actually don't like the idea of being someone's everything.
03:36I actually kind of get exhausted at the idea of being around someone, like, all the time.
03:41Yeah.
03:41So, having your partner have a partner is really a gift.
03:45Number seven, Nico Tortorella and Bethany C. Mayers.
03:49The younger actor married his fitness influencer wife in 2018 after dating for several years,
03:55during which time they had an open relationship.
03:58And it kind of, like, made sense to us.
04:00Like, okay, if we get married, we're going to establish that we are the primary relationship
04:04and it will leave room for other relationships, right?
04:07In an interview with Glamour magazine, Tortorella revealed that their non-monogamy
04:11was hurting their relationship with other people in their lives.
04:15To explain their equation better and streamline financial aspects like insurance,
04:20they decided to get married.
04:21When it comes to, you know, visiting each other in a hospital, God forbid that ever happens.
04:26When it comes to bringing children into the world, when it comes to health insurance,
04:30you know, the system was built for a reason.
04:32It was the next step for ourselves and for our secondary and tertiary relationships, Nico said.
04:38The pair is now raising two children together.
04:41But it seems they're still pursuing relationships outside their marriage.
04:45It's the ability to create space for more than one person at any given point.
04:49Number six, Kalani.
04:51In the love department, the getaway singer reportedly has a preference for polyamory.
04:56I think it's all possible.
04:57I think being with the right mature person and, or not even, I won't say mature because
05:01it has nothing to do with maturity, but if that's what they want to do,
05:04and that's where I'm also at with it, then it's always possible.
05:07They gave birth to a daughter with their former partner, Javon Young-White,
05:11and were once linked to Danielle Balbuena, a.k.a. 070 Shake.
05:16The only publicly known polyamorous relationship they had was reportedly with rapper YG.
05:21Sugar daddy's trying to get a shit, don't give a number.
05:24She need a vacay, she been dancing all summer.
05:26Put you on the Jackson Cabo, baby, I'm a stunner.
05:28However, it did not last long because YG allegedly stepped out on them.
05:33Kalani later revealed on The Breakfast Club that despite having an open arrangement with
05:38the big bank performer, a lack of communication and transparency led to their separation.
05:43Because I did give the space for communication and it to be open,
05:46and it wasn't kind of honored, which kind of made it worse.
05:50Number five, Bella Thorne.
05:52The Disney star-turned-filmmaker and singer has only ever had one polyamorous relationship,
05:57or at least one that we know of.
05:59It reportedly started around 2017 when the Masquerade actress was dating rapper Mod Sun
06:05and online personality Tana Mojo at the same time.
06:09A couple months into us kind of dating or whatever it was,
06:13she brought in this guy, Mod Sun, this singer.
06:15She started just dating him, he was around all the time.
06:18And it was very much an environment of it felt like we were like competing.
06:22Bella and Tana broke up in February 2019,
06:26a few months before the her and him director split from Mod Sun.
06:30Although it did not work out, Thorne has nothing but good things to say about polyamory.
06:35You like beings, you like what you like.
06:38Doesn't have to be a girl or a guy or, you know, he or she or they or this or that.
06:44It's literally, you like personality.
06:47In an interview with Cosmopolitan in 2019, she called it a beautiful arrangement,
06:53as long as you find the, quote, right mesh of partners.
06:57Number four.
06:57Drew Barrymore and Luke Wilson.
07:00The actress behind iconic romantic comedies like 50 First Dates and The Wedding Singer
07:04once gave polyamory a chance.
07:06It's so fun because when you're young, you're like, it's low stakes.
07:10You know, we're just young, we're having fun, we're all playing, acting, hanging out.
07:13Oh, God.
07:14You know, you're not taking it all so seriously.
07:16And it was fun and we had the best time.
07:18We did.
07:19It happened in the 90s during her relationship with Legally Blonde star Luke Wilson.
07:24We only found out about it recently when she revealed on The Drew Barrymore Show
07:28that their setup wasn't monogamous.
07:30Uh-huh.
07:31And I was dating him.
07:33Yeah.
07:33But you were.
07:34I think he was also dating other people.
07:36Yeah, totally.
07:38It was an open relationship.
07:39We were young.
07:40However, she seems to have fond memories of that time,
07:44referring to their relationship as low stakes and so fun.
07:47Since then, Drew has been known to have monogamous relationships.
07:52But also, I was just like, I don't want to be not engaged to this woman for another,
07:56you know, day, longer.
07:57Once I had the ring and I knew it, so I wanted her to have it.
08:01She was married once before her romance with Wilson
08:03and walked down the aisle twice afterward.
08:06Though both of those marriages ended in divorce,
08:09Barrymore is now a mother of two.
08:11Number three, RuPaul.
08:13I wouldn't want to put restraints on the person I love the most on this planet.
08:19I wouldn't do that to someone I love, my very best friend.
08:23The queen of drag is married to artist George Labar,
08:26whom he met in the 90s.
08:28Though he has never been linked romantically to anyone else,
08:32RuPaul and his husband have an open marriage.
08:34In 2019, he sat down for an interview with Vanity Fair and called monogamy a hoax,
08:40but insisted that he and his husband love each other more than anything else in the world.
08:44I know, in my heart of hearts, like I've never known anything before,
08:50that man loves me more than anything else in this world.
08:56More recently, in a 2024 interview with The New Yorker,
09:00the multi-Emmy winner claimed, quote,
09:02there is no such thing as monogamy with men.
09:05Number two, Neo.
09:07Tell them what the truth is.
09:08Yes, that's daddy's girlfriend, as is that, as is that, as is that.
09:11And at the end of the day, they see love.
09:14The So Sick singer's love life will call you single in a hundred languages.
09:19Neo is in a polyamorous relationship with four women,
09:23and he calls them his pyramid.
09:25I've chosen these four women because they each do something for me.
09:28They each, they each, there's four chambers.
09:30These ladies are Christina, whom he calls Pretty Baby,
09:34Arielle, aka Twin Flame,
09:36Monet, or Phoenix Feather,
09:39and Bree, also called Sexy Lil Something.
09:42The father of seven said on the Big Boys Neighbourhood show
09:45that after his ex-wife Crystal Renee divorced him for cheating,
09:50he started exploring non-monogamy.
09:52After my divorce, I decided, you know what, I ain't lying to nobody no more.
09:55I, again, I, I, I, I hurt a lot of people
09:59with just being dishonest about things that I honest,
10:02that I could have been honest about.
10:02Right.
10:03He also revealed on the Ricky Smiley Morning Show
10:06that his children are aware of his multiple relationships.

10:25Number 1. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith
10:28This pair enjoyed power couple status in Hollywood for decades.
10:33They met in 1994 and started seeing each other soon after,
10:37quickly becoming inseparable.
10:39Like, I'm feeling fiery right now.
10:40Right now? It's crazy, right?
10:42Hey, girl, don't we see you coming?
10:42Come and see what I'm saying.
10:44Hmm.
10:47Come and see what I'm saying.
10:48They took their relationship to the next level
10:50when they said their I do's in 1997
10:53and welcomed children Jaden and Willow in the following years.
10:57In 2013, word on the street was that the Smiths had an open marriage,
11:01but Jada clarified that they had a, quote, grown one.
11:05I've always told Will,
11:07you can do whatever you want
11:11as long as you can look at yourself in the mirror and be okay.
11:18In 2016, Jada got into a so-called entanglement
11:21with singer-songwriter August Alsina.
11:25And in 2021, Will revealed he, too,
11:28had been having relationships outside his marriage.
11:31It was not until 2023 that The Matrix Reloaded star
11:34revealed she and Will had separated in 2016,
11:38but emphasized that she'd never leave him.
11:41I didn't want to create a culture of deceit or betrayal between us.
11:48And I just wanted to be real about it from the gate.
11:50Do you think celebs talking about polyamory helped normalize it?
