Why I don’t do 50/50 with my husband – Blessing Obasi

Actress Blessing Obasi Nze has opened up about the financial dynamics in her marriage to actor Stan Nze.

Speaking in an interview with Ife, Blessing said their approach to finances is based on mutual responsibility and trust, rather than a specific sharing formula.

The movie producer explained that she and her husband take full responsibility for expenses, with each partner contributing their best without measuring who contributes more.

According to her, they pay for things as needed and exchange receipts to keep a record of expenses, allowing them to function as a team.

Nze advised against fixing money ratios in marriage, saying it can make the relationship feel too formal and transactional.

“It’s 100/100. There is no 50/50 with me and my partner. We just do things equally and sometimes he does it and just sends the receipt to me, and I do likewise. I bring mine, he brings his. Our goal is to make it work. I can’t be doing 50/50 or 70/30 because it’s like office work already,” she said

She emphasised that their focus is on partnership and support, with each person stepping in whenever necessary.

Blessing Nze, who got married to Stan Nze in September 2021 and welcomed their first child in October 2023, believes this approach helps them make their marriage work.
