‘I’ve got TWO men who love me’: Woman has baby with the lover her boyfriend encouraged her to take (and they were BOTH there at the birth)

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER



Happy families: Jaiya Ma with her two lovers, Ian Ferguson, left, and Jon Hanauer, and her and Ian's child, Eamon. 'Having three parents around just makes life even better, and everyone talks about how advanced Eamon is,' said Jaiya



Jaiya Ma had been living her boyfriend Jon Hanauer, 49, for six years when he urged her to take a new lover.

Within weeks, Jaiya, 34, fell for a furniture designer Ian Ferguson, 44, at a dance class, and a year later she fell pregnant with his baby.

But Jon supported Jaiya, welcomed Ian into his home, and the two men helped deliver baby Eamon during an 'orgasmic' labour.

Now the three live together in a beautiful home in Topanga, California, raising Eamon, two and a half.

'I am so lucky,' said Jaiya, a sexologist. 'I have two amazing men who really care for me and Eamon. Having three parents around just makes life even better, and everyone talks about how advanced Eamon is.'

Jaiya and Jon met in June 2000, while taking tantric yoga classes in Cinncinati, Ohio, and fell in love in March 2001 during a tantric teacher training course.

Jaiya was engaged to a man called Tony, who could not cope with sharing his fiance, despite discussing having an open relationship.

Six months later, Jaiya and Jon began living and working together, helping couples who had trouble in their sex lives and writing a book, Red Hot Touch, about the importance of touching your partner to keep a relationship alive.

'We had an open relationship, where we could be really honest and tell each other if we were attracted to other people,' said Jaiya.

Emotional: Jaiya and Ian soon after Eamon's arrival. When Jaiya returned to work, Jon volunteered to be the main caregiver and to stay at home with the baby



'Jon became very quiet and introverted,' she said. 'He told me I should find another guy to be with. At that stage we were going through a difficult time. But our work kept us together.'

Jaiya placed an advert on Craigslist asking men if they'd like to take her out, and was instantly flooded with requests and went out on four dinner dates.

'None of the men really interested me, because I just didn't feel a connection with them,' she said. 'But then on July 11, 2007, I went to an ecstatic dance class and that's where I met Ian.

Jon added: 'I asked her if she was sure about having the baby and she said she was. Once I knew it was what she really wanted I was okay with it too.

'It was hard, and I asked myself: "How can I just let this happen?" But Jaiya immediately started suffering severe morning sickness, and so all I could do was look after her.

'After that I just did let things happen, but I'm glad that I did.'
