Adam Lyons is one guy who definitely doesn't agree with the old adage "three's a crowd".
亞當(dāng)·里昂是一個(gè)絕對(duì)不會(huì)贊同“三個(gè)和尚沒(méi)水喝”這句老話的人。

For the UK-born dating coach lives happily with his two girlfriends - and two children - in their LA home.
這位出生于英國(guó)的約會(huì)教練和兩個(gè)女友以及兩個(gè)孩子在他們位于洛杉磯的家中幸福地生活著。

Lyons, 34, and his partners Brooke Shedd, 26, and Jane Shalakhova, 25, even share a super kingsize bed, and take it in turn to spend date nights together.
34歲的里昂與26歲的布魯克·謝德和25歲的簡(jiǎn)·沙拉科娃兩名女友同居，三人甚至共睡一張大床，并在晚間輪流出去約會(huì)。

Add to the mix his girlfriend Shedd's 5-year-old son, from a previous relationship, and her newborn son with Lyons, named Dante, and you have one rather bustling household.
再加上謝德和前夫5歲的兒子以及她跟里昂剛生的兒子但丁，這個(gè)家庭可真熱鬧。

The self-titled "throuple" insist their unorthodox arrangement provides an excellent family environment, as with two partners, Lyons will "never have to leave my kids with someone I don't trust".
夫妻三人自稱(chēng)“三口子”，堅(jiān)信其不同尋常的生活能營(yíng)造一個(gè)非常和諧的家庭環(huán)境，比如，因?yàn)橛袃蓚€(gè)女友，里昂“從不會(huì)把孩子留給不信任的人照看”。

"We're just like any other family. Except in ours, there'll be one dad and two mums who live under the same roof - and there'll be nothing but love for our children." he told the Daily Mail.
里昂告訴《每日郵報(bào)》的記者：“除了孩子們有一個(gè)爸爸、兩個(gè)媽媽同住一個(gè)屋檐下之外，我們就像其他正常的家庭一樣——給孩子的只有愛(ài)。”

"Dante and Oliver will grow up seeing Adam, Jane and I being affectionate and caring for each other. I think that's amazing."
“亞當(dāng)、簡(jiǎn)和我三人情誼深厚、彼此關(guān)愛(ài)，但丁和奧利弗將在這樣的家庭氛圍中長(zhǎng)大。我覺(jué)得棒極了。”

Lyons discovered his passion for polyamory when he and his ex-wife agreed to spice things up with an open marriage.
當(dāng)里昂和前妻同意在開(kāi)放式婚姻中增加一點(diǎn)情趣時(shí)，他發(fā)現(xiàn)自己對(duì)一夫多妻制熱情滿滿。

After several dalliances with other women, he met openly bisexual Shedd through his wife, and the pair instantly hit it off.
在交往了幾個(gè)女人后，經(jīng)妻子介紹，他認(rèn)識(shí)了已公開(kāi)雙性戀身份的謝德，兩人一拍即合。

When he and his wife's relationship came to an amicable end in 2012, Lyons moved in with Shedd and her son.
2012年與妻子和平分手后，里昂搬到了謝德和她兒子的住處。

The pair, who had decided they were keen to explore options outside of monogamy, soon met bisexual photographer Shalakhova at a club - and so the trio began.
兩人渴望探尋一夫一妻制之外的選擇，于是很快就在酒吧結(jié)識(shí)了雙性戀攝影師沙拉科娃，從此三人的同居生活開(kāi)始了。

"I had never experimented with polyamorous relationships but with Adam and Brooke, it felt so natural. They were two awesome people," said Shalakhova.
沙拉科娃說(shuō)：“我從沒(méi)試過(guò)一夫多妻，但和亞當(dāng)、布魯克在一起的生活讓人感覺(jué)很自然。他們兩個(gè)人都很棒。”

"It's like imagine you meet your soul mate. Now multiply that by two! It's twice the love."
“感覺(jué)就像遇到了靈魂伴侶，現(xiàn)在竟然遇到了兩個(gè)！愛(ài)加倍了。”

Last year, they all bought a house they could live in together.
去年，他們?nèi)齻€(gè)買(mǎi)了房子一起住。

"Half of all marriages now end in divorce so most kids end up having more than one mum and one dad anyway," said Lyons, who was voted the least likely to ever get a girlfriend at high school (what a difference hindsight makes, eh?).
里昂說(shuō)：“現(xiàn)在有一半的婚姻以離婚結(jié)尾，如此一來(lái)，多數(shù)孩子有一個(gè)以上的媽媽和爸爸。”里昂高中時(shí)曾被選為最有可能一個(gè)女友都得不到的人（現(xiàn)在的情況卻是大相徑庭，不是嗎？）。

"Therefore, I don't think there's any problem with raising our children with three parents."
“因此，我覺(jué)得三個(gè)家長(zhǎng)一起撫養(yǎng)孩子并沒(méi)有什么問(wèn)題。”

But it seems the trio still have some room to spare, as they're open to the possibility of a fourth lover - and Shalakhova hopes to add a third child to the mix in the future.
但是，貌似三人還有一些空間剩余，因?yàn)樗麄円褜?duì)第四個(gè)戀人敞開(kāi)了大門(mén)——而且沙拉科娃還希望未來(lái)再添一個(gè)孩子。
