Not all polygamous families are created equal! After the success of TLC's hit reality TV series Sister Wives, the network is continuing to document the stories of families who choose to live a polygamous lifestyle with the premiere of its new series, Seeking Sister Wife. Viewers will get to follow three plural families as they go through the process of adding an additional wife into their families — and one of the families is the Snowdens.
Dimitri Snowden and his partner Ashley Kapri are an African-American couple based in Atlanta, GA where they live with their two children, plus one on the way. In a sneak peek from the upcoming season premiere of Seeking Sister Wife obtained by Hollywood Life, Dimitri opens up about the reason why he has chosen to have a plural family even though his family doesn't subscribe to the Mormon faith.
"I don't have a close family myself. My immediate family is all over the place, we're not very tight. We didn't really get to grow up together," Dimitri said in his confessional. "So I want a noisy house, babies everywhere — I just want an epically big family."
He said he started to learn more about polygamous lifestyles when he was around 24 years old, and his partner Ashley agreed that a plural marriage would be the best way for Dimitri to have the big family that he's always dreamed of.
"Part of the reason why having a sister wife is attractive to me is because I'm currently pregnant with my third and I think I'm at my capacity with three children," she explained in her confessional.
According to the couples' TLC bio, they have already attempted to find a sister wife for their family, but it turned out to be a heartbreaking experience for them since their plural relationship didn't end up working out for them, so now they're ready to try again.
Be sure to catch the season premiere of Seeking Sister Wife, airing Sundays at 10 p.m. on TLC.
Seeking Sister Wife is a brand new reality series on the TLC network and it features plural families who are seeking, dating or transitioning in their relationships. Some are looking to add a new sister wife into their lives. When the show premieres, the Snowden family is coming back from a break up and on the hunt for a new sister wife. So, they turn to meeting someone online and worry about how their family members will respond to the idea.
According to TLC, the couple does not completely follow the Mormon faith and they have stayed away from legal marriage in order to be able to have an equal relationship with whoever their future wife may be. As the show begins, the Snowdens are living in Atlanta, Georgia with their young children and they recently experienced a plural relationship that did not end well. What they really hope for is to find a sister wife who wants to have children, especially since the couple recently had a third child.
So, why is a plural relationship appealing to the Snowdens? Dimitri Snowden and Ashley Kapri have agreed that a plural marriage would able Snowden to have the large family that he’s always wanted, according to In Touch. Snowden explained, “I don’t have a close family myself. My immediate family is all over the place, we’re not very tight. We didn’t really get to grow up together. So I want a noisy house, babies everywhere — I just want an epically big family.” Kapri’s opinion on the subject was that, “Part of the reason why having a sister wife is attractive to me is because I’m currently pregnant with my third and I think I’m at my capacity with three children.”
According to Kapri’s Instagram account, she is a lover of nature, writer, actress, dancer and educator. She has her own website and blogs short posts of photos, which include info on her family, interests and other life aspects. On her website, she describes herself as this, “Deeply connected to both the divine and the bravery of the human spirit. Learn to fly with me while discovering exactly why we exist on this beautiful Earth.”
Over the summer, Kapri wrote on her blog that she had been tossed some lemons in life lately. She then had advice for people dealing with haters in their lives. Kapri wrote, “Stay the course, have patience, determination, and trust that the universe will provide you the tools to overcome NATURALLY and VICTORIOUSLY. Don’t make your own karma come for your head by exacting revenge. Simply heal your crops and wounds, and keep your circle safe with goodness only.” Perhaps Kapri and Snowden could use this advice in dealing with the criticism Seeking Sister Wife has already received from people on social media, who don’t approve of plural relationships.
