For those of you that came to my wedding and be changing the word that I say, I dropped a voice note. I never said ‘womb shifter’.

The clarification has continued to draw attention online, with many users reacting humorously while others praised Jarvis for setting the record straight.

Please, tomb shifter. It’s a name that we give our husbands in our village.
