Media personality Jeridah Andayi has opened up about her decision to keep her husband out of the public eye, addressing questions from her fans and followers.
Known for her prominent presence in the media, Andayi has managed to shield her husband’s identity from public scrutiny for years.
In a recent YouTube session, she provided insights into her parenting choices, particularly regarding her children’s exposure to the limelight.
Andayi explained that while she respects differing opinions on parenting, she stands by her decision to raise her children in her own way.
“I don’t know if I would have it any other way. I have had people come to me and lecture me on why I expose my children to the limelight. Why am I raising my children in front of the camera? They tell me it is not right, and I respect their opinion. However, I would appreciate it if they understood I am not raising my kids with a script but in my own way. If you feel as a parent you do not want your kids to be in the limelight, then that is okay,” she said.
Addressing concerns about her children’s visibility as a public figure herself, Andayi acknowledged that she has faced lectures from individuals questioning her decision to raise her children in front of the camera.
However, she firmly believes in raising her kids authentically, not with a script but in her own way.
The media personality highlighted the diverse approaches parents take in managing their children’s visibility in the digital age.
While some opt to shield their children’s faces entirely, others, like Andayi, feel comfortable integrating them into their public persona.
For Andayi, her decision to include her children in the limelight stems from her belief in the importance of brand identity.
“We live in the era of the internet, digitization, brand, and brand identity I feel like my children are part of my brand and identity. So that’s why sometimes I put them there. Sometimes it is not all that good, but having my children in the limelight was my conscious decision just the same way I chose not to involve their father in the mix,” she said.
However, Andayi’s decision to keep her husband out of the limelight was a conscious one. She emphasized that this choice was made for the sake of privacy and family dynamics.
