They explained that the extensive consultations were a result of not knowing where they would ultimately welcome their baby. Mr Eazi mentioned his particular interest in Japan as a potential location, even going as far as researching Japanese names for their unborn child.

Why exactly do we see nine doctors? Nine doctors because to give you options, not just that, because we didn’t know where we were going to be. Which country? We didn’t know which country we were going to decide on. I wanted Japan.

Temi Otedola humorously reacted to her husband's deep dive into Japanese culture for their baby, jokingly rejecting the name suggestions. The couple announced their pregnancy in May, having discovered it during their honeymoon in Asia. They were married in a private ceremony in Iceland in August 2025.

The podcast discussion highlighted their proactive approach to prenatal care, seeking diverse medical opinions to ensure they were well-prepared for any scenario regarding the birth location and associated decisions.

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