MOST relationships blossom from a mutual attraction to each other.
But one couple have defied odds and have even gotten despite having different sexual preferences.
Samantha Greenstone and Josh Hoff legally got married last year despite Josh identifying as a gay man.
And that's not all, the couple even had leaving much of the internet puzzled.
In one clip Samantha said: “I'm marrying a gay man.
“And we're literally at the courthouse right now. We've just obtained our licenseand it's so exciting.”
The pair met nine years ago as friends, but their connection soon blossomed into something different.
Two years after they became friends, Samantha realised she had feelings for Josh and told him, it turned out that he felt the same way and the pair began .
The LA-based couple explained to Business Insider that they were in a “mixed-orientation” relationship, where they have different sexual orientations. Josh is a gay man, and Samantha is a straight woman.
Many people have confused their relationship as a ‘Lavender Marriage,' a term used to describe one or two people from the LGBTQ+ community who marry for the safety or convenience of appearing to be heterosexual.
But the pair insist that it doesn't apply to them.
“I'm 100% fulfilled by our marriage. So to say we're in a ‘lavender marriage,' I think, takes away what this really is, which is just people who love each other for who they are and not what they are,” he told the publication.
“A lavender marriage feels like a marriage of convenience versus a marriage of just true pure love like ours.”
In other videos, the pair have also shared candid details about what they get up to in the bedroom.
Birds & The Bees
Samantha revealed: “Do I with my gay husband? Interesting question. Yes.
“And not just side by side under the covers. No. And we don't cut a hole in the sheet either like the Puritans. Nope.
“We do it the good old-fashioned way. Yep. And if you're confused what that means, then it's not our job to teach you the birds and the bees.”
“I know it's mind bending to a lot of you to be like, well, he's gay. How could he be sleeping with a woman?” she continued.
But Josh added: “This isn't a woman. This is my wife. This is my soulmate and my partner.”
The clip posted to her TikTok account @samanthawynngreenstonehas since gone viral with over 4.4 million views and 352k likes.
People were quick to take to the comments seemingly still confused by the couple's relationship.
One person wrote: “I know everyone is saying it’s a lavender marriage, but is it lavender if they’re actually romantically involved? I think that’s what a lot of their content is about.”
Another commented: “After learning about the origins of lavender marriage, what was your reason? Just curious.”
“People not understanding it. He’s gay, he would normally go for men. But he FELL IN LOVE WITH HER. she’s the exception to the rule. Soulmates don’t have gender or sexuality, they just are,” penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “I'm still confused, I don't get it.”
“To be honest, who cares. As long as you're happy, no one else is hurt, carry on,”; claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “I never ask personal questions but thanks for the clarification. Not gonna lie, still im very confused and have thousands of questions that I'm not gonna ask.”
