After 33-year-old Linda Fruits had a “sexual awakening,” she abandoned her husband, Christopher. During her eight years of a sexless marriage, Linda realized that she was not straight but a lesbian who wanted to be with another woman. Now, she is dating a girlfriend who she recently had a baby with. But the sperm donor happened to be none other than Linda’s ex-husband in a shocking twist for the Sunrise, Florida woman.

Linda divorced her ex-husband, Christopher Harting, 36, in August 2021 after struggling through eight years of an unsatisfied marriage to the man. She realized that she was actually interested in having sex with other women, so she abandoned her traditional marriage for same-sex love affairs.

The couple had been going through a “sexless” marriage after they welcomed their second child into the world during the start of the pandemic in early 2020. About a year later, Linda dissolved her marriage to her husband and began seeking a relationship with another woman. She quickly found Maddy Gross, 36, and began trying to have a baby with her.

In a shocking twist, the couple asked Linda’s ex-husband Christopher to donate his sperm for the child. The man agreed to the terms so long as he could play an active role in the child’s life and be listed as the father on the child’s birth certificate.

The baby, Arlo, was born last week, and the “modern family” said the boy is doing “great.”

Linda had led her husband on for eight years until she realized she was actually attracted to women and not men. Their marriage lasted nearly a decade and resulted in two children. When the couple decided to end their relationship, they decided to continue living in the same household so they could raise their children together.

“Most couples whose romantic relationship ends, they need to get away from each other to move on, or [it becomes] toxic,” Linda said. “We found a way to move on while still co-parenting and living together, and it’s been great.”

Linda soon fell in love with Maddy. Only six months into this new relationship with a woman, Linda moved her entire family, including Christopher, into a new house with the other woman. They brought along their two sons, four-year-old Elliot and two-year-old Owen, who was born during the pandemic.

Although everyone was a happy family, Linda, and Maddy wanted to have their own children. That’s when they had the idea to ask Christopher to donate his sperm so Linda could become pregnant again, and the lesbians could raise the child as their own.

“On our second date, Maddy told me how she’s always wanted to be a mom and how she was actively trying to find a donor,” Linda told NeedToKnow.online. “We talked about how crazy it would be if Christopher was the donor and our kids could be related, and we asked him five months later.”
