Cynthia Obi-Uchendu Reveals Desire for One More Child and Hopes for a Boy

Cynthia Obi-Uchendu, wife of media personality Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, has shared her desire to have one more child, ideally a boy.

The revelation came during an engaging chat with podcast host and Big Brother Naija alumnus Maria Benjamin.

When Maria Benjamin asked Cynthia if she was interested in expanding her family, Cynthia responded with enthusiasm, saying, “Yeah, why not? I want one more.” 

Maria probed further about how her husband, Ebuka felt regarding the prospect of more children. Cynthia clarified that the decision was primarily hers. “It’s not his decision. I definitely want one more; I have two girls,” she explained.

When asked if she had a preference for the gender of the new addition, Cynthia’s answer was clear. “Why not? Of course, my preference would be to have a boy. Ebuka’s approach to things is very ‘Whatever you want’.”

Cynthia elaborated on Ebuka’s supportive stance, saying, “The thing is, my husband wanted one child; he was like he wanted to give them the best, school fees are expensive. But truly, he is obsessed with our kids, and I’m sure if we had a third one, he would be obsessed.”

Adding a touch of humor to the conversation, Cynthia joked about the possibility of a fourth child, saying with a laugh, “Maybe a fourth? No, that’s far.”

Cynthia and Ebuka’s relationship began through her older brother and was sparked by a connection they made on Twitter.

They officially began dating on New Year’s Day in 2014, got engaged in April 2015 at Sakura, a Japanese restaurant in Lagos, and were married later that year in November.

Since then, the couple has welcomed two beautiful daughters, Jeweluchi and Irubinachi, and their family continues to grow in love and joy.
