Sister Wives is a dating and matchmaking service for committed polyamorous relationships, including polyfidelity and committed triads. Global Dating Insights describes it as a polyamorous dating app and links to its website, sisterwives.com. Coverage does not connect it to the television show of the same name.
It is led by Christopher Alesich, who is described as CEO and founder of both Sister Wives and Matchmakers Inc., the umbrella under which he plans to build several niche and mainstream matchmaking brands. In a September 2026 Global Dating Insights podcast episode he said he has spent 18 years in the dating industry, that Sister Wives is evolving its matching algorithm, and that Matchmakers Inc. uses a personalised matchmaking process built on a 200-question intake.
