A woman has opened up about being in a three-way marriage with her Tinder match and her college sweetheart – and things can get a little messy from time to time.
Angel Bailey, 26, and Tyler Hays, 29, started dating in June 2018 after meeting on Tinder and invited Sam Vick, 23, into their relationship in April 2021.
Bailey – who had known Vick since college and had shared a one-time kiss with her – rekindled their spark at a festival and the pals ended up having a threesome with Hays in May 2019.
The trio developed feelings and decided to become a band – entering into a romantic relationship between the three of them.
The polyamorous trio tried dating twice after their first threesome, but couldn’t make it last more than two weeks.
Unable to let go, they decided to give their relationship another shot in April 2021 and have now invited Vick to move in.
Bailey and Hays are getting married in May 2022 but hope that it will also be possible for Sam to marry them in the future.
Bailey, a bank mortgage warehouse operations specialist from Arkansas, explained, “The three of us went to the festival, and just with the music and maybe a little booze, Sam and I just got started. to kiss us.
“And then Tyler said, ‘Well, that’s pretty cool.
“It kind of grew from there.
“We were afraid to open up to each other, it’s intimidating to add a whole other person in your life that you can rely on.
“I was selfish but I got over my jealousy.
“Now they’re on dates, we’re on dates, and the three of us are on dates.”
HOW DID IT START?
Bailey and Vick were friends during their college years – the friendship began when Bailey invited Vick to a party and the girls kissed but remained platonic.
Vick, a bank clerk from Arkansas, explained, “We were both exploring our sexuality at that time and starting to learn that we didn’t just like kissing girls when we were drunk.”
After meeting on Tinder, Bailey and Hays had always spoken of being open to trying new things in their relationship.
In May 2019, Bailey, Hays and Vick went to Hangout Festival as part of a large group of friends.
The trio separated from the group to watch another group.
Drunk and rekindling their old flame, Bailey and Vick started getting along – Hays joined in and things moved forward when they returned to the Airbnb.
Hays, a Tennessee ramp agent, said, “We thought it was a one-time thing.”
Bailey added: “But we all had feelings.”
Things haven’t always been easy for the couple of three, they tried dating twice two years ago but couldn’t make it last more than two weeks.
Bailey said: “I had never dated girls before, so it was hard to tell friendship feelings from relationship feelings.
“I knew it was different because I felt bad when she wasn’t with me, and I missed her the way you miss a partner.
“For Sam, it was difficult to join Tyler and I who had already been settled for a year.”
MAKE IT WORK
In April 2021, the trio decided to give her a shot at a relationship together.
At first, Hays struggled to fit two girlfriends around her work schedule and Bailey struggled to see Vick with her boyfriend.
Bailey said: “I thought, ‘Oh, I have two relationships, I can be with Tyler and I can be with Sam,’ but I never thought of Tyler and Sam together or us as one big relationship.
“I was selfish but I got over my jealousy.
“But now we all go on dates.
“Sam and Tyler are going to the zoo while I’m working.”
Vick currently lives an hour and a half drive from Hays and Bailey, so is only with them three days a week.
But in April 2022, Vick took the plunge to move into the couple’s two-bedroom home in Memphis.
The three have never lived together for more than three days in a row but are looking forward to being together.
Bailey said: “Sam and I will be bed sharing Monday to Friday while Tyler is at work he is sleeping in another room.
“The three of us rarely share the size of the queen.
“There’s always someone there to respond to something you need that isn’t possible in an ordinary couple.”
SEX LIFE
In the bedroom, often they don’t all have sex together, but they take turns.
“It’s not unlimited threesomes and it’s definitely not a lifestyle for everyone,” Hays said.
Vick said: “Usually it’s just like two of us – either Angel and me, or Tyler and me, or Tyler and Angel.
“The three of us get together sometimes, but not as often as when there are only two of us.”
Bailey said: “You have to set boundaries early on and communication is key.
“Our parents know we’re in a band, but they don’t like to talk about it. All our friends know it.
