There is such a special "mixed family" in the United States that has attracted media attention recently.
Josh, a 37-year-old man, was once a couple with his ex-wife Jennifer, 36.
The marriage lasted for 5 years, during which time a son was born. Today, the boy is 11 years old.
The two later divorced peacefully.
Talking about the union and breakdown of this marriage, Josh expressed his views:
"When you're ready to end a marriage, there's no need to resent each other, especially if you already have children."
And ex-wife Jennifer also said that even if divorced, but with her ex-husband Josh is still a "good friend", and they have always maintained contact with each other.
After this, the couple who broke up found their favorite partners.
After the divorce, Josh soon met another woman, Danielle, 31.
Josh married his current wife, Daniel, and gave birth to a daughter. At present, the little girl is 5 years old.

And ex-wife Jennifer also found a loving female partner, Chantel, and started a family in 2017.

It is worth mentioning that Josh's current wife Daniel and his former wife Jennifer have a good relationship, and can even be said to be a bit as close as "sisters".
Even closer than siblings....
Later, when Jennifer and her female companion Chanter also wanted to have children, they decided to try to ask their ex-husband Josh for help: they hoped that he would donate sperm to Chanter.
In the face of this special request made by his ex-wife, Josh and his current wife Daniel also gladly agreed: "There is nothing more meaningful than helping the family realize their dreams in life!" ”
So last year, Josh cooperated with the provision of sperm to help his ex-wife's female partner Chanter successfully conceive.
In April this year, Chantel gave birth to a daughter, and she and her female partner Jennifer are very grateful for the understanding and help of Josh and Daniel.

Currently, Josh lives a normal family life with his wife Daniel and two children.
And ex-wife Jennifer also and female companion Chanter, with their daughter to live a happy family life of 3 people.
However, the two families meet frequently, often in a week, and spend three or four days together.
In addition to family dinners, adults will also take their children out shopping, playing and so on.
There is no barrier between adults, and children get along happily, and perhaps they can't understand some kind of complex connection between the 4 adults.
Sometimes, Josh will post short videos on the Internet to generously introduce his "family members"——

After closing the door, the wife and ex-wife touched the bottle to celebrate.
In an interview with the media, 4 adults said,
Although Josh is indeed the "biological father" of Chantel's daughter, he will not be called father and daughter.
However, in the days to come, Presumably Josh's love and influence on this little daughter should not be less.
At the same time, the adults decided to be honest about their younger daughter's origins.
Chantel revealed: "If my daughter asks about it, we will tell her the truth. We borrowed Josh's DNA to create you in a way that was different from other parents. ”
From the perspective of Josh, a 37-year-old man, his ex-wife, his current wife, and his ex-wife's female companion have all given birth to children related to him, and everyone can live together harmoniously.
This special "mixed family" is really open...
