Kabi wa Jesus Explains Why He Registered Family Property Under Wife’s Name

Kenyan content creator and family man Kabi wa Jesus has revealed the intentional choice he made when buying their first property—registering it under his wife Milly’s name.

Speaking during a family cooking show, Kabi said the decision was meant to safeguard their children’s future in case of unforeseen circumstances.

“The first time we bought our property, I put it in her name because of the children, just in case anything would happen,” he explained.

A Symbol of Trust and Security

According to Kabi, property ownership is not just about investment but about family protection. He emphasized that placing the title deed in Milly’s name was both a gesture of trust and a way of guaranteeing his children’s long-term security.

“For me, it was about ensuring that if anything were to happen, my children would be secure,” he added.

The WaJesus couple, known for documenting their marriage, parenting, and faith on YouTube, has built a loyal following through such candid conversations.

Challenging Norms

Kabi’s revelation stood out because it challenges societal stereotypes that often discourage men from registering assets under their wives’ names. For him, securing his children’s future outweighed traditional views.

His openness has sparked fresh debate around love, trust, and financial transparency in modern relationships—reflecting a growing mindset among young Kenyan couples who see property ownership as a generational safety net, not just a personal asset.

Mixed Fan Reactions

The disclosure quickly drew varied reactions online.

Some praised Kabi for prioritizing family over ego:

“That’s a real man—protecting his family first,” one fan commented.

Others, however, raised concerns about potential risks, suggesting such moves should always be paired with sound legal advice.

Still, the conversation highlighted a deeper question about why many assume the father’s side of the family poses risks in inheritance disputes.
