Jay Shetty has become a familiar face in the podcast scene and now Hollywood, having interviewed stars such as Kendall Jenner, Tom Holland, Selena Gomez, John Legend, Orlando Bloom, Michael B. Jordan, and even former President Joe Biden, among others on his hit podcast, On Purpose. The podcast launched in 2019, and was downloaded 64 million times in its first year, and now boasts over 20 million monthly listeners.
Through his rise to podcast stardom, he has always had his wife, Radhi Devlukia-Shetty, by his side. Learn all about her and their marriage below.
Meet Radhi
Like her husband, Radhi, 35, is also a podcast host — she launched A Really Good Cry in April 2024 — as well as a New York Times bestselling cookbook author and the co-founder of Juni Sparking Tea, which she created alongside her husband.
She was born in London, to parents of Indian descent, but both of them were raised in Africa. In a 2020 interview with Coco Eco, she said of her background: “There is a lot of fusion between those two worlds. Plus the way that I was brought up in London, and then moved to America,” adding: “I feel that inspiration ends up coming from my journey through life, plus the experience of my family, which has been infused into mine.”

My parents really made a conscious decision with that, and although I was brought up in London and very much relate to London culture and British culture, it’s been such a beautiful thing to be able to experience my parent’s heritage too, and have that as part of me and my identity,” she said.
In addition to being a podcast host, over on Instagram, Radhi is a popular influencer with over 2 million followers, and is known for posting plant based recipes in between glimpses into her and Jay’s family life. Plus, she holds an Ayurvedic Health Counselor degree from the California College of Ayurveda.

When Radhi and Jay met, he was a monk, and had been introduced to his future wife’s mother when he had to show her how to do a certain service at their temple. She eventually passed Radhi’s number to Jay, who in turn passed the number to his sister Amy, who Radhi became close friends with first.
