I’m in lockdown with my ex, his girlfriend, my new husband & our 5 kids – we ration loo roll & the fights are furious

AFTER Katie Blackmer split with her husband Stephen Shepard she vowed they'd never be friends again.

But time's a funny thing and now Katie, 32, is not only his mate - but she LIVES with him.

Katie lives in Tennessee with Stephen and their three kids.

Also living with them is Katie's new husband Ben, 42, and Stephen's long-term girlfriend Brandy Henderson, 32, and their two kids.

Meanwhile, Ben's son from a previous relationship, Hunter, 20, is a regular visitor.  But, despite all being isolated together (and loo roll being rationed), they are still getting on famously.

Now Katie shares her extraordinary story with Fabulous:

We’ve been on lockdown for the past few weeks and our governor has extended it until the end of April, so we’re not even halfway through.

But we are somehow making this madness work even though sometimes the kids fight caused by the sheer frustration of having to stay at home.

I suppose for most people, the thought of living with their ex-husband would fill them with horror, but for me and Stephen it has made perfect sense.

Together, we share our lives with our new partners, mine and Stephen’s kids Gracelyn, 12, Kaylynn, 11, and Colston, six, and Brandy’s kids Kayleigh, 11, and Jaxson, nine.

Ben’s son Hunter, 20, used to live with us too but he lives in an apartment down the road.

I met Stephen when we were 18 and I was working in a bar – we married in March 2007 and we had our three kids.

Jaxson always says that the girls are princesses who get their own way all the time. This constant bickering is definitely worse during lockdown - they argue about anything and everything you could ever imagine.

When we are all in the house at once, it’s a fight sometimes to get to the bathroom particularly if someone is taking a shower. We have three bathrooms and believe me that’s not a lot. And during these times, tempers get frayed very very quickly.

We’ve had to ration the toilet paper as well as it is so hard to get hold off.

But we have had some good times, too. The kids have painted pictures for the old folks in Brandy’s nursing home to cheer them up. They’ve read books, done crafts, we’ve played games as a family every night.

If I’m honest, this lockdown has taught us all that our lives were too fast before and we have to appreciate each other more.

And while it has been mental in our house at times, we are so fortunate to have each other to fight with!

These three aren't the only racy lot.... meet the couple who won’t stop swinging now they are married – and even enjoyed a four-way sex session on their honeymoon.
