Alana, Kevin and Megan have been in a throuple for five years, with the trio sharing the highs and lows of their relationship – including how they celebrate Christmas
A throuple who have been told they are going “straight to hell” have revealed how they celebrate Christmas, including who the middle spoon is, and how they tackle reactions from their family.
Five years ago, partners Alana, 27, and Kevin, 33, made a drastic decision and welcomed Megan, 37, into their relationship. The trio met on the dating app 3Fun and officially became a throuple – a committed romantic relationship between three people. The trio have battled countless negativity towards their unusual romance, but are unapologetic when it comes to their loving relationship.
The throuple happily live together but admit that the festive season can bring some tricky situations as they have to tackle three sets of in-laws. “As a throuple, we sometimes face challenges with family during the holidays,” Alana told What’s The Jam. “There have been misunderstandings and awkward moments from those less familiar with our relationship.”
“It’s definitely all eyes on us whenever we attend a festive event together. Whether people already know about our relationship or are just meeting us for the first time, you can often feel the tension in the room.”, reports OK! Alana added: “The funny thing is, our Christmas doesn’t actually look as different as people think. There just happens to be three of us but we celebrate just like everyone else.”
This year the throuple are planning to spend Christmas with a trip to the cinema before heading back home to wear matching onesies for a relaxing afternoon “snuggling”. Kevin revealed their unique festive routine: “Alana loves decorating, so she sets the scene in the house. Megan is the cook and prepares whatever fantastic meal we have. We go to the movies in the morning and then spend the rest of the day together, snuggling, relaxing, having some hot cocoa, and, of course, watching football.”
The trio, united by an extraordinary bond, insist their Christmas is just like anyone else’s, with love at its core. “The holidays don’t have to look a certain way to be meaningful – what matters most is the love and intention behind how we spend them,” Megan expressed. She continued: “Being able to forge new traditions together has been one of the most rewarding parts of our journey as a throuple.”
When it comes to public opinion about their relationship, especially during the holiday season, Kevin revealed: “Most people on the internet say that we’re going straight to hell. But Santa Claus doesn’t discriminate.” Living in Colorado means they can dodge potentially tricky family gatherings. “Since we live in another state, we don’t spend the holidays with our families in person,” Alana said. She elaborated: “We do video calls or send gifts instead, and plan visits at other times of the year. It just helps avoid any stress of splitting the time and lets us enjoy the holidays together.”
The trio has a smart solution to avoid anyone being left out when it comes to sleeping arrangements – they alternate who gets to be the middle spoon every night. Kevin explained: “We rotate [who is the middle spoon] every night! ” He added that they use a clever memory aid to keep track: “We use the MAK and cheese method to stay in order. This simply means Megan, Alana and Kevin – this is how we remember who is in the middle, just the order we rotate in. One of us may let out a little snore here and there, but a quick nudge stops that.”
The self-dubbed ‘Camp Throuple’ has built a significant following on Instagram, sharing updates on their relationship, birthday trips, and daily life. They often address questions, such as whether they would consider adding a fourth member to their relationship, and provide glimpses into their unique bonding rituals, like waiting in line for a kiss.
