During a recent conversation on the Teju Babyface Show, the couple opened up about how their relationship evolved from a close friendship into a lasting marriage. Banky W admitted that while he had feelings for Adesua early on, things didn’t quite go his way at first.

According to him, she kept him firmly in the “friend zone” despite his interest, which eventually led him to take a step back and focus on his faith instead of forcing things.

“Adesua was actually the one who asked me to be her husband. She kept me in the friend zone for a long time, so I stopped pushing and simply prayed to God to touch her heart. After a year and a few months, she finally called me ‘my husband’, and that’s it”, he said.

That unexpected shift, he explained, became the turning point that moved their relationship from friendship into something deeper—eventually leading to marriage.

On her side, Adesua reflected on how their bond has only grown stronger with time, even after a decade together. For her, the connection they share still carries the same warmth and intimacy.

“We’ve been married for 10 years and we still hold each others hands all the time, we sleep together with our feet’s touching each other. I didn’t want to marry an artiste, a pastor and a politician but God gave me all three”, she said.

Together, their story offers a glimpse into a relationship shaped by patience, faith, and timing—proving that sometimes, the best things come when you stop chasing and let things fall into place naturally.

Speaking on the Teju Babyface Show, Banky W challenged long-standing expectations around gender roles in marriage, revealing that their household dynamic is far from traditional. In a candid moment, he shared that he is often the one in the kitchen.

“There are some men who insist their wives must cook, but my wife does not really cook, even though she can cook very well, it’s just not her thing,” he said.

He explained that their arrangement works not because it follows convention, but because it is built on mutual comfort and compatibility. While he enjoys cooking, his wife enjoys eating—something he says has created a natural balance in their home.

“Some people come to our house and see me cooking and feel uncomfortable, but it works for us,” he added, encouraging couples to define their own standards rather than live by external expectations.

“What works for you will be different from somebody else. Don’t live your life by somebody else’s rules,” he said.

Beyond domestic life, Banky W also reflected on one of the most challenging periods in their marriage—their journey to parenthood. He spoke emotionally about Adesua Etomi’s endurance through multiple IVF attempts, describing it as a season that tested them both deeply.

“I’ve seen her go through things that would break people. She kept getting back up, going through cycle after cycle, even injecting herself with medications,” he said.

He noted that witnessing her strength reshaped his own perspective on partnership and sacrifice, making him question conventional ideas about what should or shouldn’t be considered “burdens” in a home.

After years of waiting, the couple eventually welcomed their son, Hezekiah—a moment Banky W described as the culmination of persistence, faith, and shared strength through difficult seasons.

For him, the experience wasn’t just about becoming a parent but about learning the depth of resilience required to build a life together.

He credited faith, resilience, and the unwavering support of loved ones for carrying him through the demanding journey of juggling fatherhood, full-time graduate studies, and public service.

Banky W expressed pride and gratitude at completing his degree at Georgetown’s McCourt School of Public Policy, describing it as one of the best institutions in the world for public policy education.

“I’m grateful to have been able to study at one of the greatest schools on the planet for Public Policy… I have just earned my Master’s degree in Policy Management (some institutions call it an MPA – Master’s of Public Administration).”

He also revealed the joyous news that he and his wife, Adesua Etomi-Wellington, welcomed their second child, Hezekiah Oluwadarasimi Wellington, during his studies in the U.S. Balancing graduate school, parenting two children, and serving as a Fellow on Capitol Hill, Banky W admitted the journey was exhausting but rewarding.

“Parenting 2 children in the US, while earning a full-time Master’s and serving as a Fellow on Capitol Hill all at the same time was completely exhausting, but by the grace of God, the strength of faith and the support of family, friends and mentors, we did it!”

Banky W closed his message with a word of encouragement to dreamers and late bloomers, reminding them that it’s never too late to pursue a new path or redefine success.

“So as I prepare to step off the balcony and return to the dance floor, I hope you take this as a sign that it’s never too late to dream a new dream, or redefine the ending of an existing one.”

The announcement has drawn praise from fans, fellow artists, and political figures alike, who have applauded Banky W’s commitment to education, service, and family—a powerful example of what it means to lead with purpose and passion.

Nigerian singer Olubankole Wellington, popularly known as Banky W, announced the birth of their second baby boy with his wife, actress Adesua Etomi.

He shared the news with fans on October 30, 2024, through his verified Instagram account.

Earlier, on October 14, Adesua broke the internet by sharing pregnancy photos on her Instagram, announcing they were expecting their second child.

Banky W and Adesua, who tied the knot in 2017, welcomed their first child, Haziah Wellington, in January 2021.

In a new video circulating online, Banky W opened up about how he’s balancing responsibilities after the arrival of their baby boy.

Currently pursuing his master’s degree at Georgetown University, Banky W shared his perspective on marriage, describing it not as a 50-50 split but as a true partnership.

He acknowledged Adesua’s strength in carrying their child for nine months and expressed his commitment to supporting her.

He went on to say that he has taken on roles such as chef, housekeeper, nanny, homework helper, and even masseuse, all to support Adesua as she adjusts to life with their newborn.

In his words; “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. Supporting Women’s Economic Power means doing my part in our home. I’m also doing my part in the world – as I earn my Master’s in Policy Management at Georgetown University, I’m keen on advocating for working mothers everywhere.

When we uplift our women, we uplift our world. Gentlemen, kindly do the needful 😊🙏🏽🙌🏽🫶🏽.”
