In this episode of After Reality, I’m joined by Jaydi Samuels Kuba — a Hollywood matchmaker, dating coach, and former Family Guy writer — to talk all things modern dating and what it really takes to find a lasting relationship. Jaydi shares insights from her newly released book, Your Last First Date: Secrets From a Hollywood Matchmaker (out January 27), and breaks down why dating can feel extra complicated in high-pressure worlds like entertainment (and honestly… just in general these days).
We get into her matchmaking philosophy — focusing on quality, true compatibility, and ethical boundaries, rather than promising a certain number of “matches” like some high-cost agencies. Jaydi also opens up about her own love story, including the wild (and very unconventional) way she met her husband… who was originally a client, and yes, she eventually broke her own rules.
Plus, she gives practical, actionable advice you can actually use right now: how to navigate physical attraction, communicate boundaries without killing the vibe, and update your online dating profile so it reflects the real you (and attracts the right people).
