Renowned Nigerian R&B singer and entrepreneur, Bankole Wellington, popularly known as Banky W and his actress wife Adesua Etomi have welcomed the arrival of their second child — a baby boy.
Banky W shared the news on Instagram with a heartwarming video showcasing his hands-on approach to family life since the baby’s birth.
The video features him cooking, helping around the house, and supporting Adesua.
“But more importantly than that I am a husband and a father. We just had our second child who is an amazing young boy,” he said in the video.
Since the baby’s arrival, Banky W said he has taken on various roles, from chef and housekeeper to homework helper and masseuse.
The singer also advocated for gender equality, saying “supporting women’s economic power means doing my part in our home and community”.
“Partnership is 100-100, not 50-50. That means that in this season, I’ve been a chef, housekeeper, nanny, homework teacher, masseuse, and more all as part of my duty as a supportive husband and present father of two . And honestly, I couldn’t be happier,” the post’s caption reads in part.
“Supporting Women’s Economic Power means doing my part in our home.”
Adesua expressed gratitude in the comment section, calling Banky W “the best partner in the entire world”.
The actress announced her pregnancy on October 14. The new addition makes them a family of four.
In November 2017, Banky tied the knot with Adesua in South Africa. The couple welcomed their first child Hazaiah Olusegun Wellington in 2021.
Banky had previously said that fatherhood is “my favourite job description”.
“The boy is so full of life. He is everything we hoped for and more. Every morning, I’m the first person he sees, before his mom or the nanny,” he said.
The singer-turned-politician recently relocated to the United States with his family.
