Famosos casais gays: amor três vezes

The concept of romantic relationships involving three people – known as throuples – has gained visibility in recent years, though polyamorous arrangements have existed throughout history. A throuple is a committed romantic relationship between three people who all love each other (or claim to), distinct from casual dating or hookup situations.

These relationships require exceptional communication, trust, and emotional maturity to navigate the complexities of multiple romantic dynamics. They also require larger beds and heightened capacity to navigate threesomes.

Famous Gay Throuples

Adam Joshua, Zeke Taylor, and Derrick Kennedy

This famous throuple have gained attention for their openness about their relationship dynamics and their advocacy for polyamorous visibility.

dam and Zeke began dating in 2016 while studying engineering. An open setup evolved naturally. They met Derrick in September 2021, made it official in November 2022. All three emphasise equality — no “primary couple plus third.” Dates are usually as a trio; if one’s unavailable, the other two don’t exclude him intentionally.

Their journey together has helped showcase how three people can build a committed, loving partnership while navigating the unique challenges that come with a three-way romantic relationship. They’ve also gone viral on TikTok. By posting openly as a throuple, they challenge norms about what relationships “should” look like.

Their families are broadly supportive. They’re aiming for a symbolic wedding (legal three-way marriage isn’t possible) and hope to raise children.

Frankie Grande's Throuple Journey

 the Broadway performer and brother of Ariana Grande, has been open about his experience in a throuple relationship. In late 2018, Grande revealed he was dating a married couple: Daniel Sinasohn (a lawyer) and Mike Pophis (a doctor). He said he had been single for ~9 years before it, and that this was his first relationship in sobriety.

They met at a charity gala where the married couple were sitting front row. Frankie said there were “cosmic sparks.” He said it’s not open in the sense of casual dating outside - the threesome was the committed relationship among the three.

By the start of 2019, Frankie confirmed that he had split from the married couple. He said that while the experience had many highs (excitement, novel experiences), it also came with “double the drama, double the lows.”

When he told Madonna that he was in a throuple, she reportedly said to him ‘Well, that’s not going to end well”. Even the diva who gave us the Sex Book couldn't quite get on board with the concept of love times three.

Frankie has said that the throuple taught him a lot about relationships: communication, boundaries, what he wants/needs, etc. That period helped clarify that for him, monogamy was the mode that he feels most fulfilled by now.

Benjamin, Ben, and Mitch

“GayThrouple” is the Instagram account of three men - Benjamin, Ben, and Mitch - who live together as partners and are raising two daughters and a son. The family positions their relationship as a modern, vibrant triad, sharing snippets of everyday life, parenthood, and demonstrating how three people co-parent and nurture a household.

In their posts, they emphasize love, equality, and stability. Rather than focusing on traditional milestones like legal recognition (which is often unavailable for throuples), their content leans into how they show up as a unified family: sharing responsibilities, celebrating life’s small moments, and being visible as queer dads. They use their platform to normalize how non-monogamous or polyamorous family structures can function in loving, healthy ways.

The Dynamics of Throuple Relationships

Successful throuples typically navigate several key areas:

Protocolos de comunicação: Regular check-ins, boundary discussions, and conflict resolution strategies become even more crucial when three people's feelings and needs must be considered. A group chat on Whatsapp allows with easy three way conversations, just a larger bed allows for… whatever.

Equilíbrio Emocional: Managing jealousy, ensuring no one feels left out, and celebrating the unique bonds between each pairing within the throuple. As Grande said “double the drama, double the lows.”

Considerações práticas: From living arrangements to financial decisions, everything becomes more complex with an additional person involved. Then again, having a third lover in your nest allows for greater pooling of resources in a single household. Being in a throuple might prove to be the best financial decision you make.

Traveling as a Throuple: Practical Tips

Accommodation Strategies: Most hotels offer rooms with two beds, which can work well for throuples. Some book suites or villas more space and privacy. Many throuples find that clearly communicating their needs to accommodations ahead of time helps avoid awkward situations at check-in.

Documentation and Legal Considerations: Since marriage laws don't recognize three-person unions, throuples need to plan carefully for medical emergencies, travel insurance, and situations requiring legal decision-making. Having medical power of attorney documents and emergency contact information clearly organized becomes especially important when traveling.

Navegação social: Throuples often develop strategies for introducing themselves in new places, whether that's being open about their relationship structure or keeping things simple depending on the cultural context of their destination. LGBTQ+-friendly destinations naturally tend to be more welcoming of non-traditional relationship structures.

Orçamento e Planejamento: Three people means three sets of preferences, dietary needs, and interests to consider when planning activities. Some successful traveling throuples designate one person as the primary planner for each trip, rotating the responsibility. A head cub, if the throuple are bears, for example.

Sensibilidade cultural: Some destinations may be less accepting of non-traditional relationships. Throuples often research local customs and laws before traveling, particularly to countries with strict relationship or LGBTQ+ laws.

The visibility of famous gay throuples in entertainment and social media has helped normalize these relationship structures and provided representation for people exploring non-monogamous love. While these relationships require extra work and communication, many throuples report deep fulfillment from the expanded love and support system they create together.

Whether you're curious about throuples from a sociological perspective or considering this relationship structure yourself, the key takeaway is that love comes in many forms - and with proper communication and respect, three really can be anything but a crowd. Plus, it’s one way to save on rent and utility bills.
