Atlanta, GA – On the newest episode of Love and Fly Shit, hosts Jenna Nia and Donay welcome comedian and media mogul KevOnStage (Kevin Fredericks) and his wife, author and entrepreneur Melissa Fredericks. Together, they co-authored the best-selling book Marriage Be Hard, and in this candid conversation, they open up about growing up together, navigating more than twenty years of marriage, and building an empire rooted in faith, love, and persistence.
Reflecting on their journey, Kev shared, “People often find inspiration in the high school sweetheart part of our relationship, but think about who you were at 16 and then I’m 42 now. Like how much life has happened, how many different ways I’ve seen the world.”
Melissa added her perspective, saying, “The work of marriage is when you are required to do something that is not your natural disposition. It doesn’t mean I don’t love this person… it just means it requires something of me that’s not easy for me to come by. That’s the hard part of marriage.”
The couple’s story is full of lessons, laughter, and honesty. Listeners will hear highlights such as:
● How Kev fell in love with Melissa on the first day of U.S. history class, and why she made him wait
● Following each other through college, career changes, and a leap of faith to Los Angeles
● Why therapy, and the art of the “redo,” reshaped how they communicate
● Parenting two sons while modeling vulnerability, respect, and partnership
● Balancing business, comedy, and friendship at the heart of their marriage
Love and Fly Shit Episode 19: “Marriage Be Hard” with KevOnStage and Melissa Fredericks is now streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.
