UK based Kenyan actor Lenana Kariba has revealed that he is a 100% stay at home dad.
The father of one revealed this during a question and answer session with his fans on Instagram.
The actor was responding to a fan who wanted to know if he is indeed a stay at home dad and whether he would encourage more dads to embrace it.
Kariba admitted that being a stay at home dad is the best as it allows him time to watch his daughter grow.
“Yep, I’m 100%stay at home dad and it’s the best. We are lucky with our setup as wifey works from home in the UK. So for lunchtime and little breaks, she comes and plays with us but I definitely take the lead in childcare during the week. To my men what are you waiting for? Daddy life is awesome and it makes sense financially. Trust me you will have the best time watching your little one grow," he said.
Responding to another fan, he said that his wife's job dictates where they live and the UK is working better for them.
The actor added that his wife has a traditional corporate job and her income is more than their needs. He however has some acting jobs in kenya and income from assets.
"This is how it works for wifey and I. I make money coming back to Kenya for acting work,, I still do content creation work and some other passive income from assets I own in Kenya. That’s given me freedom to be very chilled in the UK. So I keep my income in Kenya and we use it when we are there and for building our new home etc."
Lenana left Kenya for the UK to live with his wife, Hellen. The two tied the knot in September 2021 on the Caribbean Island of Antigua.
Lenana and his wife stated that they travel back and forth to Kenya to enjoy the experience of both countries.
During a previous interactive session with their dedicated fans, Lenana shared his aspirations for his children's education, expressing a desire for them to pursue studies in the UK.
