In a candid interview, the three explain how a chance meeting on a dating app turned into a lifelong partnership that challenges traditional relationship norms.
How the Throuple Formed
The trio first connected with Megan Smith, who was married at the time, through a dating app. They chatted for about a month before meeting in person, a moment that left Alana feeling nervous but excited. Megan’s confidence helped her ease into what would be Alana’s first experience in a throuple.
- Initial Meeting – virtual chats → in-person meetup
- First Encounter – a purely sexual experience
- Emotional Shift – romance blossomed over the next few months
After Megan’s divorce from her wife in early 2021, the three decided to solidify their relationship. They paused briefly but reconvened, officially becoming a throuple in January 2021.
Living Together
When they moved in, the trio shared a single bedroom, one bathroom, and an air mattress beside a queen bed. To keep things fair, they rotated who slept in the middle spot each night. Alana explained that the middle position offers intimacy but can become hot, so rotation keeps equality.
| Living Detail | Description |
|---|---|
| Apartment Size | 600-square-foot |
| Bathroom | One |
| Bedrooms | One, with queen bed + air mattress |
| Shared Dog | Yes |
Alana and Kevin, who had lived together before Megan joined, made a conscious effort to include her. They were mindful of potential jealousy and worked to keep her feeling valued.
- Equality vs. Individuality – They accept that each pair’s love is distinct.
- Support System – Like a pyramid, they provide double the affection and feedback.
Family Reactions
Alana’s parents were quick to accept the arrangement after a heartfelt conversation. She joked that their reaction was “jaw-dropping.”
Kevin’s parents, however, had a tougher time. After a call from Kevin’s mother, who expressed disapproval, the couple went quiet for two years. Kevin said the situation has improved, but the relationship with his mother remains cautious.
Both parents eventually engaged in ongoing dialogue, illustrating that family acceptance can evolve.
Social Media Presence
The trio’s TikTok account, “Camp Throuple,” amassed 300,000 followers after just one video. They post a mix of comedy, information, and lifestyle content, answering questions about polyamory and their daily life.
Key content themes:
- Relationship Dynamics – How they navigate romance and sex.
- Living Tips – Shared space, bathroom etiquette, and dog care.
- Audience Interaction – Responding to comments and sharing fan stories.
Megan emphasized that they do not aim to persuade everyone to adopt polyamory. Instead, they aim to showcase the positives and encourage people to choose what makes them happy.
Lessons Learned
The trio highlighted several insights:
- Communication is vital – Regular check-ins prevent misunderstandings.
- Equality is idealistic; differences are natural – Accepting varied love styles strengthens bonds.
- Visibility can help others – Fans appreciate knowing that polyamorous relationships can function.
Alana noted that hearing from people who now understand polyamory feels rewarding. Megan added that if the throuple ever split, she may not pursue another polyamorous partnership.
In closing, the trio’s journey from a spontaneous meeting to a stable partnership underscores the importance of openness, adaptability, and community support in unconventional relationships.
