Nigerian R&B singer and entrepreneur Bankole Wellington, widely known as Banky W, and his wife, actress Adesua Etomi, have welcomed their second child, a baby boy.
Banky W shared the joyful announcement on Instagram, posting a heartfelt video that showcases his commitment to family life with the arrival of their newest member.
The video features Banky W participating in various household activities, including cooking, cleaning, and supporting Adesua.
Reflecting on his family commitment, he said, “But more importantly than that I am a husband and a father. We just had our second child who is an amazing young boy.”
Banky W revealed that he has taken on numerous responsibilities since the baby’s arrival, describing his role as a “chef, housekeeper, nanny, homework teacher, masseuse, and more” — all in service of a supportive partnership.
His post emphasised his commitment to gender equality, saying, “supporting women’s economic power means doing my part in our home and community.”
He expanded on this idea, saying, “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.” He continued, “Supporting Women’s Economic Power means doing my part in our home.”
Adesua had previously announced her pregnancy on October 14, and the couple is now celebrating their growth as a family of four.
Banky W and Adesua, who tied the knot in South Africa in November 2017, welcomed their first child, Hazaiah Olusegun Wellington, in 2021.
