In this special Valentine's Day episode, David joins us for an honest, layered conversation about love, friendship, and the realities of being in a healthy relationship — especially when your relationship exists in the public eye.

We address the rumors head-on (no, we are not a throuple 🙄) and talk about why people are so quick to project narratives onto close friendships and romantic partnerships. From there, the conversation opens up into what David has learned about love through our relationship — the work it requires, the emotional accountability, and the intention it takes to build something real.

David shares how being in a relationship where strong friendships are valued has changed the way he sees connection altogether — how it's helped him appreciate friendship in a deeper way, while also awakening a desire for meaningful male friendships of his own.

We also talk honestly about what it feels like to "share" a partner with close friends, navigating boundaries, balance, and security without resentment. And we reflect on how witnessing healthy love can quietly raise the standard — Janai's understanding of what she deserves in relationships has shifted simply by seeing how Kelsi is treated.

This episode is about love in all its forms — romantic, platonic, and everything in between — and what happens when you choose to grow together instead of compete for space.

If you've ever questioned relationship dynamics, boundaries, or what healthy love actually looks like in real life, this episode is for you.
