The key to a happy relationship? For some couples, it's living apart: 'Trust, honesty and humour'
Newlywed actor Jack Wagner's relationship recently made headlines when he shared that he and his new wife plan to continue to live separately. While some fans were shocked by this seemingly unconventional living arrangement, it's not actually that uncommon at all. While several celebrity couples, including Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden, have touted the benefits of sleeping in separate rooms, living apart together — or LAT for short — takes things one step further. And research shows more couples are choosing to live separately for the long haul. A 2017 survey showed that 1.5 million Canadians were in a relationship and living in different homes, and around half of them had either never thought of living together or had made the choice not to. New research from the U.K. also found that older adults in LAT relationships had better mental health than those who lived with their partner or spouse. June*, a 72-year-old from Richmond Hill, Ont., is an example of someone who, along with her 71-year-old partner Ed*, made the choice to live apart. They've been happily doing so ("with some ups and downs," like all couples) for almost 43 years. I don't know what makes it work so well. We just knew that we were going to commit ourselves to a relationship and we felt like as long as we had trust, honesty and humour in our relationship we would make 72, who's lived separately from her partner for 40+ years June, who admits to being "old school," said she knew very early on that she didn't want children, so she never felt the need to get married. As for Ed, she noted she knew from the get-go that he had no interest in marrying again after a divorce. Still, they committed to being together while continuing to have their own homes, which happen to be in different towns roughly a 40-minute drive apart. The key to making it work after all these years? Trust and communication. "I don't know what makes it work so well." she said. "We just knew that we were going to commit ourselves to a relationship and we felt like as long as we had trust, honesty and humour in our relationship we would make it. So, here we are." As for any plans to live together down the road as they continue to age? She doesn't see that happening. "I don't think so, because now we're starting to get crochety," she added with a laugh, pointing out how other couples often struggle once they're retired and home together all the time and complain that their spouse is "driving them crazy." What exactly is living apart together? Unlike living apart from your partner because you're A) not ready to move in together yet, B) have separated or C) have logistical challenges, like distance or work, LAT is a commitment rather than circumstantial. Couples choose to maintain a romantic relationship — whether married or not — while actively choosing to live in separate households. Many of them do this to maintain independence. What are the benefits of couples living apart? We asked Toronto-based sexologist, Jess O'Reilly, who's also the host of the "Sex With Dr. Jess" podcast, to weigh in on how living apart can benefit couples. Being more intentional about how you spend time together While date nights can be few and far between when you live together, O'Reilly noted that if you live separately, you may be more likely to plan your time together and choose "activities that spark relaxation, joy, connection and passion." Reduced conflict It's no secret that common-law and married couples often fight about the mundane aspects of sharing a household, like chores and expenses. Depending on your arrangement, if you're not sharing a space, you may be less likely to argue about these things — if at all. The benefits of absence You've heard the old adage that absence makes the heart grow fonder. When living apart, "you may experience greater desire for touch, affection, physical intimacy and sex because it's not always available to you," she explained. Better communication Couples who live apart may engage in "more open and intentional communication," the sexologist noted, as "you don't simply pass one another in the kitchen every morning, so you may be more inclined to make time for important conversations." In the end, she said if it works for you, don't worry about what anyone else thinks: "Don't let anyone else's opinion sway you. If LAT works for you, relish in your arrangement. Proximity doesn't determine relationship quality, so rest assured that you can benefit from both time together and time apart." How couples can make the most of living apart If you're considering living apart, or are already doing it, O'Reilly shared some tips and tricks to keep your relationship running smoothly. And even if you live together? You can still use these tips to help your relationship flourish. Support is key "Support one another's autonomy and growth, as self-expansion theory suggests we're most fulfilled in relationships when we're supported to grow and evolve," O'Reilly said. Judgment-free zone "Check in regularly, as your needs and desires can shift over time. Ongoing conversations create connection and can also reduce conflict," she advised, adding that "you don't have to commit to one arrangement for the entire course of the relationship. ... If your feelings change, create space to share without judgment." Moments of togetherness "Create rituals of connection, like date night, shared hobbies, video chats and sleepovers," O'Reilly added. "Predictable — and unpredictable — moments of togetherness can help you to maintain intimacy, foster anticipation and enrich the emotional bond over time."

LAT Aviation has not bought any private jet, clarifies Deepinder Goyal
Earlier, a media report claimed that Goyal-backed LAT Aerospace has bought a Bombardier Global jet. The aerospace startup, co-founded by Surobhi Das, is in the regional aviation space Press Trust of India New Delhi Eternal (formerly Zomato) CEO Deepinder Goyal on Wednesday clarified that LAT Aviation -- an aviation startup backed by him -- "has not bought any private jet". Earlier, a media report claimed that Goyal-backed LAT Aerospace has bought a Bombardier Global jet. The aerospace startup, co-founded by Surobhi Das, is in the regional aviation space. "For those who want facts more than clickbaity headlines LAT is a startup, and has not bought any private jet. LAT is about making planes for regional aviation, and is not in the business of buying planes," Goyal said in a post on X. "And, I don't own one personally either. Will be nice to have one, though," he added. The aviation venture faces uncertainty due to regulatory clearances, technological capability and public adoption.

Air travel will be as easy and cheap as a bus? THIS new company backed by Zomato founder Deepinder Goel is planning to...
Zomato- Surobhi Das and Deepinder Goyal LAT Aerospace news: In a significant update for the Indian aviation sector, a new startup is aiming to revolutionize regional air travel at a mass scale. In the recent development, LAT Aerospace, a new Indian aviation startup co-founded by Surobhi Das (former Zomato COO) and backed by Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal (who invested $20 million out of its $50 million funding), is planning to build 12-24 seater STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) aircraft that can operate from small airstrips. Here are all the details you need to know about what LAT Aerospace is planning. As per media reports, LAT Aerospace, under the leadership of Surabhi Das is planning to operate small planes from small airstrips where at affordable prices planes with a range of up to 1500 km will be used for targeting tier 2 and tier 3 cities. What is LAT Aerospace planning? Readers should note that India has over 450 airstrips, but only 150 are in use, highlighting major untapped potential and LAT Aerospace wants to make air travel as easy and accessible using this available space. 'When we were flying all over India for Zomato, we were repeatedly stuck on the same question – why is regional air travel so difficult, expensive and low in India?', Surobhi said on LAT's journey. However, the company must overcome regulatory, technical, and safety challenges to win public trust. It is currently hiring aerospace engineers and aviation experts as it scales up operations to meet its ambitious goals. Why is Zomato's Deepinder Goel facing new competition? In a significant development and a bad news for Zomato's Deepinder Goel, the entry of ride-sharing companies into the online food delivery market in India pose early challenge to existing players like Zomato and Swiggy as in initial years, such companies can operate on much lower margins or at break-even, a report showed on Wednesday. Rapido has announced its entry this month. ONDC was a similar risk in 2023 but it was not able to make a major dent in the duopoly structure of the food delivery industry, according to a note by HSBC Global Investment Research.

Modern couples are choosing to live separately
Representative image/iStock Couples are choosing to stay happily married but under separate roofs. A romantic arrangement of the West is now gradually being adopted by Indian couples. Mansi Shah and her husband, married for over 10 years, have lived in different cities for the past three years. Mitali Ambekar, married for over seven years, has lived apart from her husband for five years. While Mansi says their jobs in different cities made living apart necessary, Mitali explains, 'My partner is in the armed forces, and with the unpredictability of his postings, I chose not to relocate. Plus, my career as a stylist is based in Mumbai.' What is LAT LAT, or 'Living Apart Together,' is a form of relationship where committed partners live separately. Those in such relationships are often called 'apartners'. 'Urban Indian couples are increasingly recognising that love doesn't always mean sharing a roof 24/7. It can also entail sharing values, vision, and emotional safety, all while allowing each other space to breathe.' — Esha Bhardwaj, emotional wellness coach and therapist A growing trend in the west According to Esha Bhardwaj, emotional wellness coach and therapist, 'LAT gained attention in the West in the late 20th century, but its relevance grew post-pandemic as people prioritised mental health, and personal space. Hollywood celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow , Sarah Paulson and Sheryl Lee Ralph have also openly talked about living separately from their partners, in the past. Why couples opt for LAT Many couples today choose to live separately. For Mansi and Mitali, work commitments led to LAT, allowing them and their partners to focus on careers, enjoy personal space, and maintain a committed relationship. Explaining the deeper motivations behind LAT, Bhardwaj says, 'It is the small lifestyle differences that often cause friction. LAT allows partners to maintain routines without constantly compromising, preserving love and personal peace. Many also choose LAT to heal from trauma, burnout, or codependency, as it supports self-growth, emotional regulation, sustained attraction, and more intentional communication. ' It is challenging too LAT can be challenging for couples. According to Gupta-Kalantri, these include setting a structure that suits both partners, family planning, managing expenses of two households, maintaining trust and coping with the lack of physical intimacy, especially during tough times. Mitali admits, 'It's not always ideal. We miss each other.' Mansi echoes this, saying, 'Sometimes, there's an emotional disconnect, but we've always been able to work through it. We chose this setup after 10 years of marriage, so it isn't too difficult for us.' For LAT to work, couples must invest intentionally in the relationship. For Mansi it involves being fully present during their time together: 'We give each other undivided attention and do things we love.' For Mitali, shared experiences are key. 'We take trips together every year and enjoy the planning process too. It gives us something to look forward to.' 'Couples who trust each other, have open communication, have jobs in separate cities, or are in their second marriage, can opt for LAT.' — Parth Gupta, behavioural and clinical psychologist Can it work in an Indian setting? This arrangement is not new to Indians says Aanchal Gupta Kalantri, a life and relationship coach. 'Earlier, this decision was driven by circumstances like jobs and responsibilities. Now, it's a conscious choice.' Parth Gupta, a behavioural and clinical psychologist, adds, 'LAT is common among urban Indians. As more couples talk about mental health, personal boundaries, and different ways to stay connected, LAT is becoming a real option.
