Lenana Kariba’s journey as a stay-at-home dad is inspiring.
On August 11, 2021, the UK-based Kenyan actor Lenana Kariba and his wife exchanged vows.
At the picturesque Pineapple Beach Club in Antigua, located in the Caribbean Islands.
Their journey together has taken them across continents, but one of the most heartwarming chapters is Lenana’s role as a stay-at-home dad.
Lenana Kariba has passionately embraced this role, urging other fathers to consider the joys and benefits of being stay-at-home dads.
During a recent Q&A session, a fan asked if it was true that he had taken on this role.
Lenana’s response was enthusiastic and heartfelt:
“Yep, I’m 100% a 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 take the lead in childcare during the week.
To my men, what are you waiting for? Daddy’s life is awesome and it makes sense financially. Trust me, you will have the best time watching your little one grow.”
Lenana shared insights into how he and his wife manage their finances, revealing a balanced and thoughtful approach.
Life as a stay-at-home Dad
“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 have some passive income from assets I own in Kenya.
That’s given me the 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 and his wife’s love story began in Nairobi, where they met through a mutual friend.
Despite both knowing this friend for seven years, their paths had never crossed until two years ago at a birthday party.
Their connection quickly blossomed, leading to their beautiful wedding in Antigua.
Now, the couple cherishes their life together, watching their child grow and building a future filled with love and shared experiences.
Lenana’s lifestyle is a testament to the beauty of modern parenthood.
Where roles can be fluid, and the joy of raising a child can be embraced by both parents.
