Couple who started dating another woman together reveal what it did to their relationship

Alana Underwood and Kevin Jankay thought they were making a simple, one-time choice. In 2020, after three years of dating, they decided to bring a third person into their sex life, not their entire future.

But Alana had been straight and only dated men, until she started wondering what it would feel like to be romantically interested in women too. So instead of ending things with Kevin, they agreed to explore, and they met Megan Smith, who was married at the time. The “one-off” turned into more meetings, more feelings, and then Megan leaving her wife, which changed everything.

By January 2021, the two of them weren’t just dabbling, they were officially a throuple, and the relationship dynamic shifted fast.

When Alana and Kevin agreed to that one-off with Megan Smith, it sounded controlled, but it was really the start of a whole new emotional chapter.

Main Story

A couple who welcomed another woman into their relationship has opened up about what it's like being in a throuple and how it affected their romance.

Alana Underwood and Kevin Jankay had been dating one another for three years when they decided to take a huge step in their relationship in 2020.

This step wasn't marriage though, but the decision to welcome a third person into their bed.

Alana had always identified as being straight and had only dated men, but she came to a stage where she wanted to explore the possibility that she was romantically interested in women as well.

The moment Megan’s marriage ended for reasons she says had nothing to do with Alana or Kevin, their “casual” setup stopped being casual.

However, instead of ending her relationship with Kevin, the couple agreed to have a one-off sexual experience with another woman.

Now 2026, Alana and Kevin are still happily together but that one-off sexual encounter ended up becoming a fully fledged polyamorous relationship with a woman named Megan Smith.

Megan was married to a woman at the time of their first meet up, and they ended up seeing each other on more occasions.

As time went on, Alana and Kevin realized their feelings for Megan weren't purely sexual, but that they'd started to develop romantic feelings for her too.

Once January 2021 hit and they became a throuple, Kevin described it as double support and double affection, but that also meant double chances for friction.

A few months into their rendez vous and Megan split from her wife for reasons she says had nothing to do with Alana and Kevin. Come January 2021, the trio officially became a throuple.

Reflecting on how welcoming a third person into their relationship has changed things for them, Kevin shared with PEOPLE: "You get double the support and double the affection. You can bounce something off one person and get feedback from another.

And even with their happiness intact in 2026, Megan’s point about needing real terms for equality is where the story gets complicated.

"If you’re in a quarrel or an argument with one person, the other person can show a perspective that you might not see because you’re in the heat of the moment."

For their relationship to really work, Megan says the three of them had to come to terms with the fact that perfect equality among their individual relationships was an unrealistic goal.

"The way you love each individual person is different," she explained. "That doesn’t mean it’s more or less — it’s just a different type of relationship.

The throuple document their life together on social media. On their Instagram page 'Camp Throuple' they have 231,000 followers.

Their throuple worked because the one-time decision never stayed one-time.
