Actor Deyemi Okanlawon has stated that he would not object to becoming a house husband if his wife earned more than him.
Speaking on the Tea With Tay podcast,
Okanlawon stated that he would step away from acting to focus on family care if
his wife became the primary breadwinner.
He said his main priority was remaining
valuable to his household, regardless of traditional gender roles.
Okanlawon noted that some men feel
uncomfortable when their partners earn more, which he said often leads to
insecurity and sensitivity over minor issues.
He added that financial stability would
make the arrangement practical, and he would be willing to take on childcare
and household duties despite lacking experience in cooking.
Okanlawon said: “I pray to God. My wife
hits a business that earns between $1 million and $10 million per year. You
won’t see me act again.
“I will become a house husband. I will
take my children to school and even cook, despite not knowing how to. If there
is money, I don’t mind being a house husband. If there is money? What are you
doing again?
“I find that a lot of men are not
comfortable with that dynamic, so they become hypersensitive and complain over
little things.
“My only prayer is that, as a human
being, regardless of gender, I should be valuable to my family.”
