'Sister Wives' News: New Jersey Couple Emulates Brown Family Success, Adds Two New Wives To Family [PHOTO]
The Brown family from TLC's Sister Wives may have helped a real life couple from New Jersey figure out a way to keep their marriage intact by adding two sister wives of their own.
According to Us Weekly, Paulie and Vanessa Hussle decided to add two new wives to the family, Hazel and Lady, and it seemed to be what they needed to keep their marriage intact after it initially began falling apart.
In an interview, the couple admitted that when they first met in college back in 2003, but after three years and two kids together, the pair decided to split up, which led to Paulie dating Hazel and Lady, something he admitted made him feel guilty at the time.
"I felt so guilty about what I was doing because I still loved my wife," he said. "I wanted to be with these two other women, but I also wasn't ready to give up on Vanessa."
However, luckily for him, Vanessa eventually came around to Hazel and Lady, and broached the subject of them having a polyamorous relationship with the pair.
"When I told Paulie that I wanted to be in a relationship with him and Hazel and Lady, he cried tears of joy," Vanessa said. "It was like we had finally found our happiness together. Every day is like an amazing sleepover with my husband and my favorite girlfriends. It's an adventure."
Since the group became a family, Paulie and Lady have also added a child to the family as well.
The group doesn't mention the Brown family at all, or credit them with any sort of influence over their decision to be polyamorous, though the family is the most famous poly fam thanks to their reality show, which has wrapped seven seasons. It follows Kody and his relationship with his four wives-Meri, Janelle, Christine and Robyn, as well as the stories of their 18 children between them.
It is unclear if an 8th season of the show has been picked up by TLC.
