Alex, Shalaun and Shantell, known online as 'The Portah Family', are a throuple from Houston who says they are perfectly happy and content with their 'one man, two wives' dynamic. Before the polyamorous relationship started, Alex and Shalaun had been married for nearly 20 years with two children. But when Shalaun discovered Alex's affair with Shantell, it rocked their marriage. Shalaun eventually decided to meet Shantell and to everyone's surprise, the three of them hit it off straight away. After reassessing their relationship, they started exploring the idea of polygamy. The throuple's decision to stay together was initially met with resistance from the family. They also regularly get judgement online for their relationship. Four years later, the throuple is still happily in love and dedicated to building their family together - Alex and Shantell welcomed their first daughter last year, bringing them to a family of six. Shalaun told Truly: 'We started off in a rocky position but we grew to know each other and learn how to love each other in different ways and different fashions.'

The wife looks so unhappy she isn't even trying to hide it.
-
The part that disgusts me the most is THE CHEATING
-
The wife is still obviously hurt. She just agreed to be with her husband and his mistress because she probably doesn't want to lose him. I understand poly relationships but this one seems forced.......
-
She has 20+ years of history with this man, so emotionally and psychologically it’s hard to let go. She shouldn’t settle for this!
-
This will work until his wife is comfortable enough to leave him because she’s trapped emotionally. The fact that she can’t talk about it for me means she’s hurt deeply by it so how would she be able to accept the present? Just a ploy for now. She’s not ready to let go. He’s disgusting because he has to know that it’s emotional manipulation. Truly….this one is disgusting.
-
It's sad that he isn't bothered knowing he is the cause of those tears. She chose to share him so she doesn't have to let him go. He's happy until she meets another man.
-
The first wife should have left him once she found out the cheating
-
Absolutely disgusting this is not a true polygamous relationship this is a wife simply trying to keep her family together out of desperation. This whole thing is sad
-
The 1st wife obviously didnt know what to do when she found out about the affair. Her house, kids… So she convinced herself to "go with the flow"
-
Wife, leave this situation! You are a beautiful woman who deserves a man that is faithful to you. The crying spoke volumes, let them have each other and find yourself !
-
What a selfish, self centred man. How can he not see how much he’s hurting his actual wife? She loves him so much she’s willing to see him with another woman just to keep him. So sad :(
-
Cheating is never ok. There are 8 billion people in the world. Never feel like you have to settle for some loser who doesn't value you.
-
Wow!! The 1st wife is NOT ok with this. She is dealing with it. She is beautiful and can do sooooo much better. Praying she can take the blinders off one day 🥺🙏🏾
-
They did a decent job of acting as if they are all just happy a family. I can’t imagine what’s going on behind closed doors.
-
Well the first wife doesn’t seem like she’s truly interested in this lifestyle. It was just easier for her to have them both around instead of not having him at all.
-
I wonder how'd he feel if the shoe was on the other foot! Would he be just as open and accepting if his wife wanted another man? 🤔
-
The audacity someone looking like that has to even CONSIDER cheating but his first girl staying must 100% have been an ego booster! 🤮
-
Yikes, definitely forced and he is very selfish. I had a guy do the same thing to me, only I found out I was the "other woman", he had been lying from the start, the gf was so hurt, I was angry then she tried to include me for sex(it was a no go for me) I knew it was forced. It amazes me what people will accept just to have a "piece" of a person. Blocked him because he was still messaging me & leaving voicemails. People like to intertwine cheating & poly, but true poly is about communication & honesty lol
-
I would definitely bring another man in! You want to have your cake so can I!
-
The tone of voice when he introduces both his wife’s says a lot
