Jay Shetty Reveals the 'Secret' to His 9-Year Marriage with Wife Radhi Devlukia: 'Freedom and No Restriction' (Exclusive)
He emphasizes the importance of embracing growth and change over time
Despite their busy work schedules, they make sure to keep their jobs separate from their quality time togetherJay Shetty's secret to a lasting marriage is simple.
The podcaster, 37, celebrated his ninth anniversary with wife Radhi Devlukia in April. He tells PEOPLE his best tip for a long-term relationship is 'giving the other person complete freedom to be who they want, and them giving you the freedom to be who you want.'
He explains that people have to accept their partner's growth over the course of the marriage and embrace change as it comes.
'[It's about] 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,' Shetty says.
The On Purpose host and Devlukia, 34, met in 2013, while Shetty was still a practicing monk and she was a dietitian at a hospital. They married three years later and moved from London to Los Angeles in 2018.
Since then, their lives have changed dramatically. Shetty launched his hit podcast in 2019 and has welcomed celebrity guests like former First Lady Michelle Obama, Jennifer Lopez and more onto the show. Devlukia has her own podcast, A Really Good Cry, and published her New York Times bestselling cookbook JoyFull in 2024.

Despite their hectic schedules, the couple make an effort to have dinner together and go on evening walks every day they're in the same city. When they're at the table, work tends to stay off their plates.
'Generally, we've kept [our work] separate because I love that when we are having dinner together at night, we're not talking about content,' he says. '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.'

‘Christian Girl Autumn' influencer says she needs a break from making content — but then shocks fans with a ‘plot twist'
She said, 'See ya, fall.' Caitlin Covington — the influencer hailed as the face of 'Christian Girl Autumn' — shocked fans with a tearful TikTok last night announcing she'd be skipping this year's leaf-peeping content due to the immense pressure she feels. The 34-year-old dramatically declared through tears, 'I'm not going to be able to post fall videos this year.' Advertisement 'It's just a lot of pressure to make each video better than the last — to make each fall better. And I just really need a break this year.' @cmcoving This is the hardest post I've ever had to make 💔 will post another update soon… ♬ original sound – @cmcoving Fans of hers were shocked to learn this because Covington has become their go-to inspo for all things fall — outfits, activities and where to get the best pumpkin spice latte. Advertisement Covington first began chronicling her fall obsession as a college student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, but she skyrocketed to viral fame in 2019 after the X (formerly Twitter) account Blizzy McGuire posted a photo of her and a friend in fall foliage with the caption: 'Hot Girl Summer is coming to an end, get ready for Christian Girl Autumn,' as explained by People. Now, people look to the content creator as the unofficial face of the fall season. But less than 24 hours after she posted her confessional video, Covington flipped the script and posted another video of herself — this time, there weren't any tears in sight as she was joyfully tossing leaves in the air with text overlay on the video that read, 'Plot twist: I would NEVER cancel fall.' @cmcoving Plot twist: I would NEVER cancel fall 🍁🍂 Thank you for all your support, I was truly not expecting that response – your kindness honestly blew me away. Love y'all. 🥹 P.S. Consider this the official fall launch ♬ ladies and gentlemen HER – ♱ gracie ♱ Advertisement After her original, tear-filled clip racked up millions of views and thousands of comments, Covington thanked her fans in the caption of the happy video: 'Thank you for all your support, I was truly not expecting that response – your kindness honestly blew me away. Love y'all. P.S. Consider this the official fall launch.' Covington confessed to People that the seasonal spotlight can be overwhelming. 'I do feel pressure, especially during fall, because I feel like everyone looks to me for fall content,' she told the outlet last year, noting that she begins planning her fall content months in advance, from scouting bookstores and coffee shops to curating perfectly coordinated family outfits. After her tearful August 19 clip blew up with millions of views and thousands of comments, Covington took to TikTok the next day to thank fans. Caitlin Covington / Instagram Advertisement The fall guru's following seemed to understand where she was coming from in her sob-filled post — as they showered Covington with love and reassurance. 'We love you in all seasons! You deserve to rest, girl autumn,' one wrote. Another chimed in, 'Your previous content is TIMELESS. We don't need anything new from you! … We just want to see you in joy. I hope you find peace during this break.' Covington's teased hiatus didn't just affect her fans — it was also expected to shake up the fall influencer scene that's already been wreaking havoc in New England. As The Post previously reported, the foliage-filled wilderness of Lincoln, New Hampshire, has been overrun with tourists and 'Christian Girl Autumn' copycats to the point of creating rush hour–like gridlock on mountain trails. What began as a college hobby at UNC turned full-blown obsession in 2019, when X user Blizzy McGuire immortalized Covington and a friend amid a sea of autumn leaves. Caitlin Covington / Instagram Last October, seasoned hiker Tamara Breau described the Artists Bluff Trail in New Hampshire as both 'dangerous' and disgusting, documenting the nightmare on social media. Like Midtown during rush hour, she said the trail's summit was jammed with 'bottlenecking.' Advertisement Local officials told WMUR that several rescues had to be carried out that same weekend on nearby Cannon Mountain. Conservation officers also complained that out-of-towners ignored higher-elevation climate shifts, putting themselves — and first responders — at risk. And New Hampshire isn't alone. As The Post reported in 2023, fed-up residents of Pomfret, Vermont, actually shut down Cloudland Road during peak foliage season to keep out the swarm of influencers clogging up the town. Locals say wannabe autumn stars have spent years trespassing, flying drones, parking cars in ditches, and blocking narrow dirt roads so badly that even ambulances couldn't get through.

Denise Richards Files to Vacate Aaron Phypers and Family from Home, Claims They're Being Evicted After He Failed to Pay Rent
The Aug. 19 filing comes after police responded to an incident at the Calabasas home earlier this month NEED TO KNOW Denise Richards filed new court documents on Tuesday, Aug. 19, asking a judge to order her ex Aaron Phypers and his family to vacate her Calabasas home She claims that they are being evicted after Phypers stopped paying rent and she needs to retrieve her property and her dogs Richards previously accused Phypers, who filed for divorce in July, of physical abuse and obtained a temporary restraining order against him Denise Richards is making another attempt to access the home she shared with her estranged husband, Aaron Phypers, amid their messy divorce. According to documents obtained by PEOPLE, the actress, 54, is requesting that the court order Phypers, 52, and his family to vacate her Calabasas property, which he currently resides in with his parents and brother, so she can retrieve her dogs and belongings without violating the temporary restraining order they have in place. Richards claims that, although she and Phypers are both named on the lease, she moved out two years ago under the guise that his family would only be living there temporarily. The Wild Things star further claims that she told Phypers he would be solely responsible for the rent in January when they were still occupying the house, and that she was allegedly told 'several times' they would be leaving. PEOPLE has reached out to Phypers' rep for comment. Richards claims she was notified on July 24 that eviction proceedings would begin on Aug. 23. Per the filing, the landlord informed Richards that he has made several attempts to contact Phypers due to unpaid rent but has been unable to reach him, resulting in an eviction. 'I left many of my personal items and my late mother's items at the house based on Aaron telling me that his family would be moving back to Canada and we would be moving back into the [property],' she alleges in the complaint. 'If I am not able to [retrieve] my dogs and belongings, I believe my dogs will be harmed and my property destroyed or discarded during the eviction process.' The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum further alleges that 'Aaron and his parents and brother have severely damaged' the home, leaving it 'in a state of disarray.' Images attached as evidence reveal patches of removed flooring, as well as several boxes, articles of clothing and papers scattered throughout the rooms. 'I was shocked at the condition of the home, having not lived there for over two years,' Richards wrote in the docs. Richards, who has a restraining order against Phypers amid allegations of domestic violence, also referred to the Aug. 3 incident in which the police were called to the Calabasas property. PEOPLE previously reported that Richards went to the house — allegedly under the impression that Phypers was not there — so she could 'retrieve her dogs after learning that Mr. Phypers had put down one of her other dogs without her knowledge or permission,' her attorney said at the time. A source close to Phypers previously told PEOPLE this is '100 percent, absolutely false,' and went on to allege that Richards was screaming and banging on the door of the home to get inside. When Phypers heard her, he left through a side door, the source said. Phypers told PEOPLE that he put the dog down because she had cancer and alleged that 'Denise hasn't interacted with the animals in two years.' However, she claims in the recent filing that she only temporarily left the dogs there in May when she was getting surgery. The Lost Hills Sheriff's Department stated at the time that they 'did not have any evidence that a crime occurred," but PEOPLE confirmed that Phypers was on the property when Richards stopped by. In her latest request, Richards offers an explanation for the incident. 'While I was attempting to leave the [property], Aaron's brother blocked me from leaving and placed blocks under the tire[s] of my vehicle so that I could not move my car,' she alleges in the papers. 'Aaron's mother let me in the house and then Aaron's parents interfered with me trying to leave the [property]. Aaron's mother called Aaron and told him to come back to the [property] while I was there, which would have been a violation of the TRO.' She also claims she has made multiple attempts to resolve the matter without court intervention. Richards states that she "will have no way of retrieving my dogs and belongings in a safe manner that ensures Aaron and his family do not come near me or harm me' without a court order. Additionally, Richards asks that there be 'no recording or listening devices in or around' the property when she is there. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Phypers filed for divorce from Richards in July following six years of marriage. The following week, she claimed that he 'repeatedly abused" her throughout their relationship, which he has denied. "Aaron would frequently violently choke me, violently squeeze my head with both hands, tightly squeeze my arms, violently slap me in my face and head, aggressively slam my head into the bathroom towel rack, threaten to kill me, hold me down with his knee on my back to the point where I would have to plead with him to get off me so that he would not kill me and hack into my laptop and phone and download all of my text messages," Richards alleged in court documents obtained by PEOPLE. 'Aaron regularly threatened to 'break my jaw' and would cry, beg me to stay, and promise to get help — none of which ever happened,' she continued, adding that Phypers allegedly 'has caused me at least three concussions.' For his part, Phypers said of the claims: "Let me be unequivocally clear: I have never physically or emotionally abused Denise — or anyone. These accusations are completely false and deeply hurtful. Denise and I, like many couples, have faced our share of challenges, but any suggestion of abuse is categorically untrue." Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword

Amy Klobuchar Calls for New AI Laws After Sydney Sweeney Deepfake Video Goes Viral: ‘It Had Me Saying Vile Things'
"I would like to think that most people would be able to recognize it as fake, some clearly thought it was real," the Minnesota senator writes in a New York Times guest spot Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar called on Congress to pass new, more protective legislations around the use of artificial intelligence after a vulgar deepfake video of her commenting on Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad went viral. 'Today, a realistic deepfake — an AI-generated video that shows someone doing or saying something they never did — can circle the globe and land in the phones of millions while the truth is still stuck on a landline,' Klobuchar wrote in a guest essay for the New York Times published Wednesday. The article was titled 'Amy Klobuchar: What I Didn't Say About Sydney Sweeney.' More from TheWrap White House Bodyslams 'Has-Been Loser' Jack White for Calling Trump's Oval Office a 'Gaudy, Pro Wrestler's Dressing Room' Pete Hegseth Team Calls for WaPo Journalists' 'Severe Punishment' for Report on His Security Detail 'The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox' Cast vs. Their Real-Life Counterparts | Photos Sydney Sweeney Questions Backlash to Her Bathwater-Infused Soap Line – Especially Given Who's Criticizing It 'That's why it's urgent for Congress to immediately pass new laws to protect Americans by preventing their likeness from being used to do harm,' the senator continued. 'I learned that lesson in a visceral way over the last month when a fake video of me — opining on, of all things, the actress Sydney Sweeney's jeans — went viral.' In the video, AI reworked Klobuchar's voice to ask Republicans to include Democrats. 'All we're saying is that we want representation,' the deepfake begins. 'If Republicans are going to have beautiful girls with perfect titties in their ads, we want ads for Democrats too. We want ugly, fat b—ches wearing pink wigs and long ass fake nails being loud and twerking on top of a cop car at a Waffle House 'cause they didn't get extra ketchup.' She went on to explain that the actual footage used came from a July 30 meeting during which Klobuchar led a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing on data privacy. The only discussion that took place, Klobuchar detailed, was about the 'need for a strong federal data privacy law.' But a week later, Klobuchar said she was stunned when she saw an edited version of the meeting that featured her saying words she never used. 'That's when I heard my voice — but certainly not me — spewing a vulgar and absurd critique of an ad campaign for jeans featuring Sydney Sweeney,' Klobuchar said. 'The AI deepfake featured me using the phrase 'perfect titties' and lamenting that Democrats were 'too fat to wear jeans or too ugly to go outside.' Though I could immediately tell that someone used footage from the hearing to make a deepfake, there was no getting around the fact that it looked and sounded very real.' The politician said she tried her best to get the video removed online or labeled with a note that read 'digitally altered content,' but her efforts were unsuccessful when X 'refused to take it down.' 'It was using my likeness to stoke controversy where it did not exist,' Klobuchar said. 'It had me saying vile things. And while I would like to think that most people would be able to recognize it as fake, some clearly thought it was real. […] X refused to take it down or label it, even though its own policy says users are prohibited from sharing 'inauthentic content on X that may deceive people,' including 'manipulated, or out-of-context media that may result in widespread confusion on public issues.'' The video eventually reached other social media platforms. TikTok removed the video and Meta labeled it as being AI. As far as X: 'X's response was that I should try to get a 'Community Note' to say it was a fake, something the company would not help add.' By the end of her essay, she shared studies about deepfakes impact others' view of a person despite it being fake, mentioned that artificial intelligence could be used to harm social media users and called out tech companies. 'Why should tech companies' profits rule over our rights to our own images and voices?' Klobuchar questioned. 'Why do their shareholders and CEO's get to make more money with the spread of viral content at the expense of our privacy and reputations? And why are there no consequences for the people who actually make the unauthorized deepfakes and spread the lies?' She concluded by reiterating her plea for Congress to get involved. 'We can love the technology and we can use the technology, but we can't cede all the power over our own images and our privacy,' she wrote. 'It is time for members of Congress to stand up for their constituents, stop currying favor with the tech companies and set the record straight. In a democracy, we do that by enacting laws. And it is long past time to pass one.' The post Amy Klobuchar Calls for New AI Laws After Sydney Sweeney Deepfake Video Goes Viral: 'It Had Me Saying Vile Things' appeared first on TheWrap.
