Lyons is already the father of Shedd’s son, Dante, 2, but now the London-born dad is expecting a baby boy with Shalakhova.
The threesome — who share a super-king-size bed — believe the new baby, who is due in July, will benefit from their set-up.
Lyons, 36, from East London, said: “It’s so sweet that we all get to parent and raise the kids together.”
“We have talked about it at length and we all consider ourselves parents to the children. With the kids, our titles are officially ‘Dad,’ ‘Mum’ and ‘Mum’.
“For us, three definitely works better than two.”
In fact, the threesome believes that their unusual arrangement could be the future of relationships and parenting.
Lyons, who runs his own business consulting company, Psychology Hacker, is also stepdad to Shedd’s son Oliver, 7, from a previous relationship.
He said: “For us, three people works because it enables us to manage daily life so much better.”
“So many of our friends are in ‘normal’ two-person couple relationships with kids, jobs and all the other typical responsibilities and I see them struggling to juggle their lives. It’s difficult with two people.
“But with three parents, we always have the ability for one person to look after the kids and as a result, we never begrudge each other anything because we all have lots of time.
“With three people, it’s logistically so much easier to handle all those things — we share out the responsibilities and it fits our sexual preferences too.
