In her viral video, TikTok user Andrea (@infinitepolyam) explained the approach she and her husband Brandon, 46, take to polyamory.

The couple, who have been together for 24 years, first decided to open up their relationship when they were “very young”.

Andrea explained she had always wanted more than one boyfriend as a teenager and it took her and Brandon two years to officially open their relationship.

She explained since it was 2003, they couldn’t resort to dating apps and had to meet people in the real world.

Since then the pair, who share a daughter together, have pursued various relationships with other partners.

Andrea revealed her longest relationship outside of her marriage was seven years while her husband’s lasted four years.

She currently has a fiance, who she plans to make things “official” with an informal ceremony.

The mum explained both she and her husband’s partners are even welcome in their home.

Since both of them have the power to veto, she said there has never been an issue.

In fact, she even shared a clip of her interrupting her husband and his date in their bedroom.

“My husband is in the bedroom with a date but I need to grab my gym bag,” Andrea wrote.

She joked “they didn’t seem to mind” as she sneaked in to get her workout gear.

This easy-going attitude also applies to her relationship with her fiance’s wife.

Andrea revealed they regularly go on “metamour dates” to do things like getting pedicures.

Metamour refers to a person who is romantically involved with your partner but you are not directly involved with them.

What is polyamory?

Polyamory is the practice of having romantic relationships with more than one person at the same time, with the knowledge and consent of all parties.

It can refer to relationships where one person has multiple partners or spouses, or where all parties are in a relationship with each other, for example in a throuple.

According to You Gov, 6.8% of people in the UK have been in a polyamorous relationship.

TikTok users shared their thoughts on the relationship in the comments section.

“The world would be an extremely boring place if everyone was the same and liked the same things! You do you!” wrote one viewer.

“I personally wouldn’t be able to but I mean this is your life ! I don’t know why people feel the need to judge!!!” Said another follower.

“Poly isn’t for everyone. It takes a lot of strength and trust to do this and still be happy. Love the video, girl,” commented a third person.

“This relationship works. They look happy. Why is this up for discussion? If you don’t like it, don’t practice it. Simple as that,” wrote another TikTok user.

Da Costa left his role at Porto in May 2024 as he was succeeded by former Chelsea manager Andre Villas Boas.

But it was another former Blues boss that has led tributes on social media.

Jose Mourinho took to Instagram to post a touching statement about his old boss.

He wrote: “‘Mourinho, you were the coach who brought me the greatest joys’.

“Those were your words, Mr. President.

“My words are: ‘I feel a tremendous honor to be part of your history and I will always be grateful for your trust and the influence you had on my career.’

“This is how we said our goodbyes last summer in your beloved city.

“The smile from the first day and the joy of the last time we were together.”

Former Porto manager Sergio Conceicao took the news very heard after AC Milan’s win over Hellas Verona.

He was due to face the media after victory at the San Siro but was to “shaken” to do so.

This was confirmed by club adviser Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who spoke to the press instead.

He said: “I am here because the coach is in the locker room.

“He is very shaken at the death of the Porto President, who was like a father to him. So I am here.”

Porto fans also paid tribute to the club legend by gathering outside the Estadio do Dragao Stadium.

They could be heard chanting songs after the news of the former president’s death.

A huge tifo with Da Costa’s picture was hung from a nearby bridge and surrounded by flairs.

Former Newcastle defender Chancel Mbemba also shared a tribute for Da Costa on his X account.

He joined the Portuguese giants back in 2018 after three years on Tyneside.

He wrote: “Rest in peace President Pinto Da Costa, I am grateful for the chance you gave me to join the great club of FC Porto.

“My sincere condolences to the relatives and to the whole great family of the Portistas.

Porto released a statement after the death of the former club president Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa...

Why Primark is great for looking expensive on a budget

By Clemmie Feildsend, Fabulous Fashion Editor

AS someone who’s no stranger to grabbing a last-minute outfit from Primark for a night out, it’s about time that celebrities started catching on too.

For as long as I’ve been heading out, Primark has been my go-to for those “I have nothing to wear” moments, rushing in at the last minute to find something perfect.

And I’m definitely not alone – on any Friday or Saturday night, you’ll find plenty of shoppers doing the same thing, right before closing time.

But no matter what, Primark always delivers.

Now, Rita Ora is leading the charge, showing that you can snag a designer-worthy look without spending a fortune at high-end stores.

While Rita’s not rushing in last minute for a red carpet outfit, she’s proving you can achieve the same high-impact style for much less.

Looking stunning in her tailored suit alongside her mum Vera, Rita fit right in among the other A-listers dripping in Prada, Dior, and Victoria Beckham – if anything, she looked even better than some of the guests at The Fashion Awards.

With Myleene Klass and Roxy Horner already jumping on the Primark bandwagon, I’m sure more stars will be following suit soon enough.

A third commented: “Omg I can’t keep up, they come out with the cutest PJs.” 

Whilst someone else penned: “I’m there ASAP.”

To this, the content creator replied: “Make sure you get the robe, it’s SO SOFT.”

At the same time, one Primark shopper tagged a friend and wrote: “I need to stop spending but yes let’s go.”
