Tortorella and fitness guru Bethany C. Meyers are a uniquely modern couple. Both are gender fluid, redefining what “husband and wife” means. Tortorella shares their story in “The Space Between.” READ MORE: abcn.ws/2q0d7bi
Actor Nico Tortorella’s marriage to fitness guru Bethany C. Meyers is far from your typical boy-meets-girl love story.
Tortorella and Meyers are a uniquely modern couple. Both are gender fluid, using “they/them” pronouns and their marriage is polyamorous -- redefining what it means to be “husband and wife.”
Their story is laid out in Tortorella’s new book “Space Between.” It’s a place, Tortorella suggests, where people who don’t consider themselves “he” or “she” can call their own.

If you go on their Instagram accounts, you’ll find two lovely people who work hard to promote tolerance, understanding, equal rights, and love. You don’t have to understand or agree with the way they choose to run their lives, but these judgmental comments are atrocious and unnecessary. You don’t like it, then don’t do the same things in your own life.

If there are no absolutes and no right and wrong....and tolerance is supposedly blind...why can't people share ALL their opinions??

You guys are redefining what a relationship is defined as for the two of you. Regardless of how your identity, you two have found each other and been honest about your desires with each other. That should be applauded, not looked down upon. I am proud of the love you share with each other and tireless desire to show light to other types of relationships that most people may not understand. I loved Nico first because they are FINE! But honestly, Bethanys constant honesty about her views on body image have provided me additional insight and quite frankly, they FINE too. I respect their differences and love how sweet they look into each other’s hearts.

WHY get married if you're gonna be polyamorous? Like.... Why fucking bother? Already 1 out of 2 people are jealous. Bethany seems to be lying to theirself to keep dancing to Nico's tune. I will never understand that. Because if you ''make room'' for more people to love that puts the relationship stability and trust at risk. There's a reason why they call it the third wheel. Unless they are mormons or whatever. Ugh, I'm triggered sorry, they didn't even properly answer the question why bother getting married.

A lot of us just don't understand. I don't understand but I don't judge them. If they're happy and safe then the rest of us need to keep negative opinions to ourselves. They are spreading awareness. I can understand that they are saying, "this is the way we live. This is who we are. You don't have to understand it to like it or accept it. But be respectful and not hateful." I think Nico is a wonderful actor. I binged all seasons of younger on Hulu before I was even aware of how he lived his personal life. Which goes to show what a great actor Nico is. If Nico and bethany are happy, why can't people just be happy for them? They don't go around dissing us straight people. We can offer them the same courtesy.

It is to get the legal rights which come with marriage, both while living and after death of one. My husband died. I am his next of kin. I have legal rights. Those who have just a boyfriend ill or deceased have no rights, not even to make medical decisions, to say goodbye in the hospital or be a part of the funeral without permission from next of kin. By marrying legally, they guarantee their rights to many legal issues in many situations.

In 2019, driving for Uber, I had a rider who was in a relationship just like this. He was absolutely gorgeous and captivating, like this man, and I briefly met his gf when I dropped him off at a gender fluid club in Hollywood. She was breathtakingly beautiful and her energy was magnificent! As I drove him to the club he put on makeup and spruced up his hair because he was running late from work. What he told me about their relationship, and where they had been prior to having met, literally made me cry. The unconditional love he expressed about her was so touching and she clearly felt that same love because of the excitement that exuded from her when he arrived. I still cry when I think about the way he described their love and acceptance made them better people and they no longer knew where one began and the other ended. I would like to someday feel that and give that feeling to another but if that never happens I'm happy for all those that have it 🥰

@@tannyadeleon2513 "cheating" is cheating because it is secretive, nonconsensual and hidden. I am monogamous, but for polyamorous people, they don't see it as cheating because each partner agrees to be open and both are alway informed of and give consent to each encounter/relationship. Most also have a "home base" (for lack of a better term) relationship that is the root for them, like Nico and Bethany's. Their marriage is still a commitment, it just looks different.

Maybe both and all? Kinda like how we shift our personality traits around different friend groups and in different settings. Like, do you talk to your grandma the same way you talk to your friends? We don’t change at our core, as in not the way you show love and kindness to people, not your world view, not the way you respect yourself and others; but if you notice there are outward personality traits that shift. We all naturally morph and play with our different personality traits around different groups of people. So I would say both and all are probably true representations of their personality. It’s his core, his heart that doesn’t change.

Hence the fluid analogy. Having a problem like substance abuse does not define us, but it becomes part of our complex identity. It's a nice way of looking at identity.

Next thing you know you've got 8 people ready to fight you, passionate and certain that they're right. If you're not firmly planted in your mathematics, you'll start to think you're wrong.

I think this is a very difficult concept for so many people, and it is so easy to come to a wrong conclusion or misguided understanding. This is a video that helps with that understanding. We can each live our own lives according to our own values, but we need to have common values in order for society to continue and grow and develop, to “step forward”, as I recently heard it said. They talk about those values in this video - love and respect. This is a video for everyone and anyone. So much to learn, regardless of who you are. So much about love and respect, too.

I do believe open marriages/relationships have always existed just like monogamous marriages/relationships. I respect others choices, but honestly what I don’t like is that nowadays if you say you don’t believe polygamy or that it’s not for you people call you narrow minded and judgmental. You can be heterosexual, bisexual or homosexual +++ and still believe in the one and that marriage is something sacred between two people. It is your choice and you shouldn’t be shamed for it, just like people who believe in polyamory and open relationships shouldn’t be shamed for theirs. But it should be allowed to disagree and discuss, if you suppress opinions of people that is how you get extremely polarized sides. Just saying. Be open to hear and accept, but you don’t have to agree. That goes for all. So you people who are saying this is not for you, you have a right to your opinion and for those of you who love this and think this is great you have a right to your opinion. And let’s not forget these two have chosen to openly talk about this, so they have to be able to tolerate that not everyone will find this okay, and I think they are aware of that. Openly discussing and disagreeing is a good thing, people are different and have different levels of tolerance and that needs to be accepted. Go in ✌🏻

Some of them are dangerous, others are not. The vaccine provides limited protection.
