Marriage and Martinis

Love Makes A Family, With Linda Fruits and Maddy Gross


Listen Later

It's pride month, but it's always a good time to celebrate all the love. This episode has no shortage of real, honest, deep, intense love, and what beautiful things can happen when someone stops letting society dictate how their life should look, and starts looking inward to make big decisions. Danielle was so excited to catch up with her friend, Linda, to get caught up on the impactful and enormous changes that have occurred since she came out over two years ago. Danielle was even more thrilled that Linda's partner, Maddy, (who happens to be pregnant with Linda's ex-husband/co-parent's baby) was gracious enough to join the conversation. They catch up on the huge events that have taken place, including:

  • How Linda and Maddy met and fell in love
  • What life looks like now, while they are living with Chris, Linda's ex-husband and their kids
  • What made them ask Chris if he would be willing to be the biological father of Maddy's baby, and what his response was
  • How people react to their "atypical" family
  • What it's like living in Florida now that so much anti-LGBTQ legislation is being passed, and if they plan to move
  • What they will tell the new baby's older siblings concerning why their family looks different from other families
  • How they deal with negative looks, attention, and feedback concerning their unique lifestyle

Linda and Maddy have recently been feature in People magazine and other media outlets to highlight their love story. But only on this episode will you get the raw, complete details of how it all happened.
