The trio, have been together for two years despite the disapproval of the twin’s parents.
“Our parents don’t feel at ease about our relationship,” Maddie, from Chester, Virginia, US, told What’s the Jam.
“They think we’re doing inappropriate things together and don’t approve because of their cultural and personal beliefs.
“We don’t ever do anything sexual together, we just love and decided to be with the same man.
“We love each other like any other twin sisters would love each other.
“We’re very connected, understand each other so deeply, communicate about hard conversations, and support each other in anything.
“As little girls, we always worried about how the future would be like when it came to relationships because we didn’t want to separate or leave each other.”
Fetti spoke openly with Ivy about his desire for a polygynous relationship and she began researching polygyny.
Ivy says she not only accepted the idea but chose her own twin sister to join the relationship.
Ivy said: “After I understood the history, benefits, and trauma that arises when talking about polygyny, I wanted to teach Maddie about it because I wanted my sister to understand this as well.
“Maddie also did lots of research on polygyny and I was there to support her journey.
“After a while, she also was ok with this dynamic and was actually looking for a man that wanted this too, that’s when I chose her to be the second girl because I wanted my sister to also be with a great masculine leader like my man.
“I didn’t want her to be searching in the dating market and waste time.
“I wanted my sister to be with me forever.”
Ivy admits she had more jealousy issues when she was in a monogamous relationship with Fetti.
Maddie said: “Ivy doubted and worried about Fetti cheating constantly.
“In a polygynous relationship, the thought of cheating isn’t a worry anymore because it doesn’t exist.
“There is 100% honesty and communication.
“If Fetti wants another woman, he will communicate with both of us and eventually add another girl.”
At home, the twins say they share responsibilities evenly.
Maddie and Ivy take turns cooking, sometimes preparing meals together.
All three also care for their four pets, taking turns feeding them and managing their routines.
The trio, who share their relationship online, also claim that around 95 per cent of reactions have been negative.
Some critics have accused them of being “brainwashed” or made inappropriate comments suggesting incest.
Others, however, have shown support.
Maddie added: “People say we got touched as children, it’s cheating, we’re in an incest relationship and that Fetti has brainwashed us.
“Others say it’s a beautiful relationship, they find it really sweet and all that matters is that we’re really happy.”
Ivy has since launched a podcast, @thevaluablelady, where she says she hopes to educate women about polygyny and help them navigate the emotional challenges she once faced herself.
