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.'

Disney+ series showrunner denies hit ‘Star Wars' show is a ‘left-wing' political story
'Andor' series showrunner Tony Gilroy said Thursday he does not believe his 'Star Wars' series is 'left-wing.' In an interview with New York Times columnist Ross Douthat on his podcast 'Interesting Times,' Gilroy denied that he wrote the show to represent a left-wing revolution against fascist authoritarians. Advertisement 'I never think about it that way. It was never- I mean, I never do. I don't,' Gilroy declared in response to Douthat asking if he agreed the show is a 'left-wing work of art.' The second season of the critically acclaimed series debuted on Disney+ in April. It follows the adventures of Cassian Andor, a key player in the rebellion against the Galactic Empire. He was a main character in the hit 2016 movie 'Rogue One.' Advertisement The show, which lasted two seasons, provides a dark and realistic depiction about how individuals band together to resist a creeping authoritarian government that uses deception, censorship and violence to cement its own power. 4 The second season of 'Star Wars' series 'Andor' released on Disney+ in April. The cast of the 2nd season sat down for an interview on April 14th. Getty Images for Disney In the interview, Douthat said he believes Gilroy's depiction of the rebellion against the empire in the series is distinctly left-wing. While introducing his guest, he said, 'The 'Star Wars' serial 'Andor' has somehow managed to pull off originality within the constraints of a familiar franchise, pleasing obsessive fans and critics alike. Part of its originality is that it has an explicitly political and, to my mind, left-wing perspective on its world, without feeling at all like tedious propaganda.' Advertisement Gilroy admitted the work was political in that it was inspired by his fascination with revolutions in world history. 4 Tony Gilroy (left) told New York Times columnist Ross Douthat that his show is not explicitly 'left-wing.' Interesting Times with Ross Douthat 'The canvas that was being offered was just a wildly abundant opportunity to use all of the nonfiction and all the history and all the amateur reading that I'd done over the past 40 years and all the things I was fascinated by, all the revolution stuff that not only I would never have a chance to do again, but I really wondered if anybody else would ever have a chance to do again,' he said. Elsewhere, he told Douthat that he was particularly inspired by dictatorships throughout history, like Italian dictator Benito Mussolini's regime. Advertisement 'I want to pay as much attention to the authoritarian side of this, the people who've cast their lot with the empire, who get burned by it all,' he said. 4 The ''Andor' showrunner revealed the inspiration behind the show in an onstage interview.

'But it's a story, but it's a political story about revolutionary ––' the conservative columnist protested. Gilroy interjected, 'Do you identify with the Empire? Do you identify with the Empire?' 'No, I don't,' Douthat said. 'But I don't think that you have to be left-wing to resist authoritarianism. I see the Empire as you just described it: It's presented as a fascist institution that doesn't have any sort of communist pretense to solidarity or anything like that. It's fascist and authoritarian, and you're meditating on what revolutionary politics looks like in the shadow of all that.'
