Sparkle is your happiness, passion, and self-worth.

Congratulations to the one and only Taylor Swift! Her engagement to NFL player, Travis Kelce, has her Philadelphia hometown Swifties wondering: Is it possible that her fiancé could be traded to the Philadelphia Eagles? Tom breaks down why or why not on Our Sparkle Sundays, out now.

What started out as trying to win the America's Favorite Couple Contest led to weekly episodes of Our Sparkle Sundays by Sparkle On. Devi and Tom sit down for a rapid-fire question episode of "Would You Rather?" We don't have micro answers, but we tried. As always, send your questions or topic requests for us to answer as a couple.

Is long-distance the death of a relationship, or can it truly work out? Devi and Tom were in a long-distance relationship for three years before they were finally able to live in the same place, and keeping their Sparkle felt impossible sometimes. This episode uncovers the small tricks of keeping a long-distance relationship going, the insecurities it creates, and what it means to be forced to find independence to come back together again.

Many of you asked, "How do I enter the dating scene again?" or "How do I find someone that is actually nice?" Devi and Tom weren't looking for each other when they found one another, and didn't even want a relationship. What started as friends with benefits (which never works, Example A) led to years of discovering what it means to have a healthy relationship and ultimately a friendship. To want a healthy relationship, you have to be in the mindset to embrace it when it comes. Devi and Tom share what breaking that down was like and how they went from what was supposed to be a "one-night stand" to who they are now.

Tom and Devi are far from perfect, and their Sparkle couldn't stay lit without the arguments they have. This episode dives into the messiness many couples face and poses the question: what happens when you think differently from your partner? Devi runs into the fire and isn't as afraid of failure, whereas Tom is more methodical and sometimes more rational. How do the two of them find their balance with one another? Exclusively with the Sparkle On podcast.

In this episode, we jump into Devi's favorite topic, the hit TV series from Amazon Prime Video, "The Summer I Turned Pretty." Tom and Devi discuss their first loves, coming-of-age experiences, and share fun character breakdowns from the show.

In the very first of this new series, Our Sparkle Sundays, Devi and Tom share the importance of finding roots and aligned values when starting a new relationship, their origin story, and how they've grown their Sparkle to shine together despite the COVID-19 pandemic, long distance, and starting their relationship at such a young age.
