For Jay Shetty and Radhi Devlukia, a strong relationship lies in setting boundaries.
During an interview with People, published on Friday, the “On Purpose” podcast host spoke about how he and his wife keep their marriage strong.
Shetty told People that they make sure to go on walks and have dinner together whenever they are in the same city.
Even though they collaborate professionally, he says he avoids work talk over their shared meals “because I love that when we are having dinner together at night, we’re not talking about content.”
“That’s not because I don’t love what I do. I love what I do, but when I’m with her, I just want to be with her,” Shetty said.
The couple has been married since 2016. In August 2022, they launched Joyo, a sparkling tea brand. Less than a year later, Shetty announced on Instagram that they were rebranding Joyo to Juni.
Shetty says his best relationship tip involves “giving each other that freedom and no restriction, and then allowing yourself to fall in love again and again with the new version of that person.”
This isn’t the first time that Shetty has spoken about the dynamics of his relationship with his wife.
In February, during an appearance on his wife’s podcast, “A Really Good Cry with Radhi Devlukia,” the couple also spoke about how giving each other space and independence strengthened their relationship.
Devlukia shared that at the beginning of their relationship, she would always want Shetty to make decisions for her, but he would refuse.
“I think that was very interesting for me to reflect back on, because you really could have become a crutch for me, but you didn’t allow yourself to do that. You were like ‘No, no. Create your own life, do your own thing,'” Devlukia told Shetty.
Shetty told his wife that it was because he wanted her to be able to chase her dreams.
“I didn’t want to be in a position ever with you that you would feel I achieved all of my goals, and that you didn’t achieve yours. How would that be fair on either of us?” Shetty said.
Shetty isn’t the only celebrity who has spoken about how they build and maintain strong relationships with their partners.
“Frasier” actor Kelsey Grammer says thinking of love as a “contact sport” helps keep the flame alive in his 14-year marriage.
Denise Richards says she and her husband book a staycation at least once a month to carve out quality time together.
Representatives for Shetty and Devlukia did not immediately respond to requests for comment sent by Business Insider.
