Media personality and actress Toke Makinwa has weighed in on income gaps in romantic relationships.

She spoke on an episode of the MENtality podcast, hosted by Ebuka Obi-Uchendu.

Makinwa said she is "a big believer" in dating within one's age and financial class, arguing that this reduces the chances of infidelity and resentment down the line.

She explained that many men pursue women outside their financial reach, then turn around to accuse those women of being materialistic.

Makinwa also touched on what happens when a man's fortune changes for the better after years of struggle with a supportive partner. She said:

“I am a big believer of date within your age and within your class. That way there will not be stories that touch. You will have a good girl at home, a girl who will even make dinner with her own money when you don’t have any. Yet, some men will still want to cheat on her with a woman they can’t afford”.
