A Nashville parent in a polyamorous marriage has shared how they manage to juggle five romantic relationships while raising their child.
Dana Hare, and their husband Eli, are in a committed marriage but have opened up about exploring connections outside their partnership. Despite this unconventional lifestyle, Dana’s child—born from a previous marriage—is being raised in a loving, supportive home.
Dana, who identifies as polyamorous, explained, “We’re not your average couple—we’re polyamorous. Yeah, my life is a little unconventional—but it’s filled with love, creativity, and so much joy.”
The couple is also in a romantic relationship with their best friend, Kaylee, whom Dana describes as their “life partner.” And Dana hasn’t stopped there—recently, they’ve started dating Morgan, a woman they met through their shared social circles.
Though Dana’s lifestyle is not without controversy, they are committed to educating others and debunking myths about polyamory. “I do my best to educate on polyamory based on my own personal life experiences,” Dana said. “We’re here to break down the stigma of polyamory. You can love multiple children. You can love multiple parents, especially if your parents get divorced and remarried. So why can’t you love multiple partners?”
Despite receiving online hate for their life choices, Dana remains passionate about advocating for polyamory and fostering a greater understanding of non-traditional relationships.
