    It’s the relationship bombshell we all fear — and yet, somehow, so many of us have been there. This week, Jessie, Holly, and friend of the pod Amelia Lester get uncomfortably honest about infidelity: the heartbreak, the detective work, and the deeply human messiness of it all.

Khloe Kardashian and Alex Cooper have shared the wild lengths they’ve gone to in the name of discovering the truth. This one’s raw, revealing, and full of the kind of stories you’ll want to message your group chat about. Best put your best listening ears on, Outlouders.
