Nollywood actor Daniel Etim-Effiong has shared why he places his wife above his children when it comes to matters of the heart.
On the latest episode of his podcast, Mansplanation, co-hosted with Eso Dike, the actor highlighted the depth of his love for his spouse and the importance of their partnership.
“I love my wife more than I love my children,” Etim-Effiong said, explaining that while his children hold a special place in his heart, his relationship with their mother remains a priority.
“My wife comes first, and then my children come after. Although they have a really, really special place in my heart, their mom comes first,” he added. “I can have more children with her; I can’t have children with my children.”
The actor described marriage as a “working relationship,” emphasizing that it is built on mutual commitment and shared responsibility.
