Jay Shetty hopes to "guide" couples through their relationship struggles.

The 38-year-old life coach has launched a new podcast series called Messy Love: Difficult Conversations for Deeper Connection, and Jay - who has previously interviewed the likes of Joe Jonas, Selena Gomez, and Kim Kardashian - has revealed his ultimate ambition for the venture.

Speaking to Extra about the new series, Jay explained: "We're doing everything from communication, infidelity, expectations, financial challenges, everything that all of us can relate to."

Despite this, the podcaster acknowledges there's "no perfect advice" that he, or anyone else, can offer to couples.

Jay added: "It's messy. I think we all want truth from our partners, but then we can't handle it."

Earlier this month, Jay observed that intimacy is never static.

The podcast host has been married to his wife Radhi since 2016 - but Jay acknowledges that the "work is never done".

Speaking to People, Jay reflected: "Whether you're just starting today, whether you're just out of a breakup, or whether you've been with someone for a while, I think everyone can relate to this idea where you expect your partner knows you and you think you know your partner, but you can still surprise each other with a different layer or level of vulnerability and openness."

Jay is helping real couples to navigate the struggles of modern relationships through his podcast series. But he admits that his own romance is an ever-evolving dynamic.

He explained: "I think that's a really special moment in the series that everyone gets to experience. That 'wait a minute - just because we've been together for five years or 10 years, doesn't mean that we fully know the person and they fully know us.'"

Jay is convinced that honest and open communication is key to any successful relationship.

He said: "One of my favourite tools that I share ... really lays out how we can change our communication from being accusing, critical and defensive to being collaborative, connective and deepening love.

"We don't want to have difficult conversations to win. We don't want to have difficult conversations to boost our ego. We want to do this because we want to deepen our connection."
