Numbers 10:
29 Now Moses said to Hobab son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, “We are setting out for the place about which the LORD said, ‘I will give it to you.’ Come with us and we will treat you well, for the LORD has promised good things to Israel.”
But then in Judges 1:
16 The descendants of Moses’ father-in-law, the Kenite, went up from the City of Palms with the people of Judah to live among the inhabitants of the Desert of Judah in the Negev near Arad.

He could have had Ruel the Kennite as one father-in-law and Jethro the Midianite as another, and a Cushite father-in-law on top of that.
1. Moses lived 120 years. A wife or wives could have died at 70 like many of the other people. If he married a woman in her 60’s, lost her after 10 years, married a Cushite… or whatever.
2. It’s possible that he was polygamous.
I don’t like to think that Moses was polygamous, but I can’t rule it out.
