Three typefaces, and they do different jobs. The heading font is seen first and can have character. The subheading font sits underneath it and should agree with it rather than compete. The body font is the one people actually read, so choose it for legibility and nothing else. Two families across a whole site is plenty, and one is not too few. If you are unsure, leave the design's own choices alone: they were picked to work together, and a swapped font is the quickest way to make a good design look wrong.
