Temi made the disclosure during a recent episode of their podcast, where the couple spoke openly about their pregnancy journey, including the unusual steps they took while deciding where their baby would be born.

According to Mr Eazi, the couple consulted multiple doctors across different countries due to uncertainty over their location at the time of delivery, with Japan emerging as one of the options they considered.

“Why exactly do we see nine doctors? Nine doctors because to give you options… I wanted Japan,” he said, explaining that the consultations were intended to help them weigh medical and logistical choices ahead of the birth.

He added that his curiosity even extended to exploring Japanese baby names as part of his interest in the country.

Temi, however, quickly dismissed the idea in a light-hearted moment that has since gone viral online.

“By the way, he’s also been looking at Japanese names and I’m like no, absolutely not,” she said.

The exchange has drawn attention from fans, who described the moment as a humorous glimpse into the couple’s personal life as they prepare for parenthood.

The couple also revealed that they only discovered the pregnancy during their honeymoon in Asia, adding another unexpected layer to their journey.

Mr Eazi and Temi Otedola, daughter of Nigerian billionaire businessman Femi Otedola, were married in a private ceremony in Iceland in August 2025.

Their candid discussion reflects a growing trend among celebrity couples who are choosing to share more personal aspects of their relationships with fans through digital platforms, blending entertainment with real-life experiences.

While the conversation remained playful, it also highlighted the couple’s deliberate approach to planning for their child’s arrival, including seeking medical opinions across multiple countries before making final decisions.
