The internet is divided over the fact a man is refusing to marry the mother of his child without her agreeing to change her surname.
Faith Kelly and Ethan Payne are content creators who have their own YouTube and podcast show called Growing Paynes.
In a recent episode, Faith revealed that Ethan would not marry her because she refused to take his name.
“Faith doesn’t want to take my name and that irks me,” he said to their followers.
Faith would rather hyphenate the last names, but said otherwise she wouldn’t bother with the paperwork at all.
She said she wanted to make her name Faith Kelly-Payne but if anyone asked her name, she would say it was Faith Payne.
“I don’t want to lose my association with my family,” she said, and when Ethan questioned it she asked him again to let her keep it.
“I’ve grown up with that name. I like it. I wanna keep it.”
The influencer couple are from the UK, have been together since 2021 and have a child together.
“If you don’t want to take my name, then we’re not getting married. That’s the soul purpose of marriage is to take the man’s last name,” one person said.
Another added: “Red flag bruh. Why does he want to own you so bad. In my culture we don’t even take the man’s last name at all.”
“If you have a problem with a girl not taking your last name, you’re the problem. You don’t own her. Want the same last name? Take hers then,” another said.
One added: “Ethan’s right, especially since he’s gonna pay for everything.”
“Imagine being mad your partner also wants to keep their own last name. She’s not even saying she wouldn’t take his she was just gonna have both,” another said.
