The Ellis family is stirring up conversation once again. Actor and former NFL player Devale Ellis has posed an interesting question to his followers regarding communication styles between men and women in relationships and friendships. In a recent Instagram post promoting the upcoming episode of ‘Ellis Ever After Podcast,’ Devale and his wife Khadeen Ellis initiated a playful debate about texting habits.
‘Ladies, Is it customary for women to sit on texts and respond with a 4 minute voice note or is @khadeeniam nuts?’ Devale asked in the caption. He then followed up with a question for men: ‘Gentlemen, is it customary for men to text each other and expect an immediate response back if you’re available or is @iamdevale nuts?’
The post reveals that the upcoming episode will explore the challenges of ‘maintaining friendships in your 40s, gaining new friends in your 40s, and losing old friends’ – topics that clearly resonate with their audience in this stage of life.
Ellis Ever After: The New Podcast Venture
The Ellis Ever After Podcast marks a new chapter for the couple, who previously gained popularity through their digital content and reality TV appearances. The podcast appears to be gaining momentum, with the couple actively promoting subscription to their Patreon for full episodes and behind-the-scenes content.
The podcast continues the couple’s tradition of open, honest conversations about relationships, parenting, and life’s challenges that made them popular with audiences. Black Love Media recently interviewed the couple about this new venture, noting they are ‘BACK AT IT (and feeling better than ever) with their new podcast.’
Devale’s Multifaceted Career
Devale Ellis is a former American football wide receiver who played for the Detroit Lions of the National Football League. After his sports career, he successfully transitioned to acting and content creation. Ellis has built a significant following as an actor, perhaps most notably for his role in Tyler Perry’s BET series ‘Sistas,’ where he plays Zac. In a recent post, he shared a clip from the show featuring his character receiving advice from another character named Mr. Tyrone.
Family Life And Content Creation
Beyond his acting career, Devale frequently shares glimpses of his family life with Khadeen and their sons. Recent posts show him actively involved in his children’s athletic pursuits, particularly track and basketball training with his son Jackson. ‘Spent the last two weeks working on starts with Jackman and it paid dividends, but what we gained on the front end we lost slightly on the back end so back in the lab we go,’ he shared in one post about his son’s track progress.
Another humorous post shows Devale with his younger son Kairo, joking about the child’s dramatic reaction to being awakened from sleep: ‘And Son got the nerve to look like he’s appalled I woke HIM up out his sleep.’ The Ellis family has clearly established themselves as relatable content creators who balance entertainment careers with active parenting and relationship building.
The Communication Debate Continues
The topic of their upcoming podcast episode touches on something many couples and friends can relate to: differing communication styles and expectations. The light-hearted debate about whether women tend to send lengthy voice notes rather than quick text replies, or whether men expect immediate responses, has already sparked engagement from their followers.
This kind of relatable content has been a hallmark of the Ellis brand, addressing everyday relationship dynamics with humor and insight. In another recent post titled ‘Fridays Are For The Fellas,’ Devale shared relationship wisdom: ‘First comes love. Then comes marriage. Then come the pressures of being the perfect partner and parent. Fellas, every phase brings its own challenges — not as tests to pass or fail, but as lessons to grow from.’
As the Ellis Ever After Podcast continues to build momentum, fans can look forward to more of these honest conversations about relationships, friendships, and navigating life’s transitions – particularly through the lens of people in their 40s dealing with evolving social dynamics.
The couple’s invitation for followers to weigh in on the texting debate suggests they’re continuing their interactive approach to content creation, maintaining the connection with their audience that has been key to their success across multiple platforms.
