DEJA, Quintell and Diamond are in a throuple. Deja and Quintell met as teenagers and had been married for almost six years when Diamond became Deja’s apprentice at a barbershop. A year later, Deja decided to introduce her into her relationship with Quintell and they decided to become polyamorous. He said: “We knew that we loved each other and we knew that we began having feelings for Diamond, but we didn't know what it was called or how to move forward. So we were Googling terms… And that's how we figured out about the term polyamory.” They are all in a relationship with one another. Deja said: “None of us had been in a poly relationship before. None of us had been in a throuple before - so it was brand new. So it took adjustments for all of us.” They share their relationship on social media and the response has been positive however, they’ve received a lot of judgement too. They’ve had comments calling Diamond ‘a homewrecker’ and ‘a toy’ or calling Quintell ‘a pimp’. But the throuple won’t let this affect their relationship. Quintell added: “To people that judge our relationship, I would say; we're happy. We love what we're doing.”
