HGTV's 'House-Hunters' Featured Its First Throuple And Twitter Went Crazy
"House Hunters" featured its first-ever throuple and audiences went positively wild over the inclusivity.
Wednesday's episode, titled "Three's Not A Crowd In Colorado Springs," featured Brian, Lori, and Geli. The trio was on the hunt for the perfect home that would accommodate their needs as well as those of Lori and Brian's children, ages 10 and 12.
"Lori and I got married in 2002, and we have two kids..." Brian explained in the episode. "I understood from day one, even when we were dating, that Lori was bisexual... and so we evolved to a point where we were comfortable having another woman in our lives."
Geli detailed that they all met at a bar and although she "didn't plan on being in a relationship with a married couple" it just happened "very naturally, organically."
The three partners are not married, but they did have a commitment ceremony in Aruba, which included the kids.
This is the first time that the HGTV show has featured a throuple in their almost 2,000 episode portfolio since premiering in 1999 and judging by the reaction of their viewers, the network is probably wondering why they haven't done it sooner.
"Y'ALL THERE'S A THROUPLE ON HOUSE HUNTERS RIGHT NOW," a Twitter user exclaimed along with a gif.
In another tweet, the user added, "I was legit about to change the channel until I heard throuple. You have my FULL attention now lol."
"HGTV really might be the most progressive show on TV. About to watch a polyamory couple fight over a house!" another social media user tweeted. "Honestly I feel like I learned a lot #HouseHunters."
"This throuple on house hunters… good for them _" another tweeted, adding. "Representation matters."
"House Hunters" airs weeknights at 10 p.m. on HGTV.
