  • Jamaican identical sisters Foster triplets shared a wild encounter with a TSA agent after performing at a concert in South Africa

Three is company, but not when it comes to sharing a husband. The Foster Triplets, a Jamaican trio known for their singing on Instagram, left the internet in stitches after recounting what happened following their concert in South Africa.

The sisters explained that they had just wrapped up a show in South Africa and were heading home. To avoid startling people, they had made a point of wearing different outfits, since having identical faces was already enough to deal with. A TSA agent spotted them, confirmed they were triplets, and seemed genuinely delighted by the discovery.

The agent offered the trio lobola, the customary practice in many African cultures where a groom or his family offers gifts or payment to the bride's family before marriage, and decided to make what he must have thought was a very clever observation. He suggested that he would only need to pay lobola once and could marry all three sisters at the same time.

The triplets initially laughed it off, assuming he was joking. He was not. He repeated his intention with complete seriousness, and that was when the sisters had heard enough. They closed with a public service announcement: if marriage ever happens for them, there will be three separate grooms. One of the sisters said:
