These days, the “perfect” family looks however you want it to.
“Our relationship has evolved from being romantic lovers to best friends, co-parents, family,” says model Janice Alida Seinen, pictured here with psychiatrist Andrew John Joseph and their daughter, Nova. Grooming: Win Liu.Model Janice Alida Seinen met psychotherapist Andrew John Joseph 14 years ago, while the two were working together as baristas. They fell in love, moved from Vancouver to New York and, two-and-a-half years ago, became co-parents to their daughter, Nova.
Both she and Joseph are currently single, which they know might not always be the case, but Seinen says they’re “in no hurry to bring any swift changes to our current dynamic”. The three-person family gathers together over as many meals as possible, making a particular point to practise gratitude. Everyone, of course, became close – how could they not when they shared every part of the pregnancy together, whether physically or virtually? Arnhold and Gordon still recall the intense and unimaginable elation at hearing Henry’s heartbeat for the first time, the microphone held up to the phone.
Gordon continues to get up every day and go off to work, “But I have my times when I see Henry that I religiously hold on to and the morning is one of them,” he says. “I go into his room and immediately, on cue, he’s on his stomach and you see him with messy bed hair and a big smile. It’s just the sweetest.
In short order they met each other’s parents, drew up a custody contract and within a year Durieux was pregnant. The two moved into an apartment together in Paris. “It was important that we had a family environment, ” says Durieux. Several weeks later, Paris went into the first in a series of lockdowns, so Borkett moved in too. Cosmao and Durieux shared the night feeds and nappy-changing and Borkett did the cooking.
