Who Is Nneka Ihim’s Husband on The Real Housewives of Potomac?

The Gist:

• Nneka Ihim is married to Ikenna Ihim.
• He’s an internal medicine doctor.
• Nneka is already stirring up drama on the show.

Newcomer Nneka Ihim is making a splash with her entrance to The Real Housewives of Potomac. The lawyer-turned-business owner is flooded with generational wealth and lives a glitzy lifestyle. After earning her degree and spending time practicing law, she launched a dating app which became incredibly successful.

But to be a Real Housewife, you’ll need to start with a husband. She checks that box with her marriage to Dr. Ikenna Ihim. Together, the pair moved to the Potomac and began their dazzling reality star life.

Formally, her husband is named Ikenna, but most people just call him Iyke. He got his biology degree at the University of Maryland, College Park, and studied medicine at St. Matthew’s University.

Iyke then spent his residency at Coney Island Hospital before becoming board certified, and then began practicing. However, he wasn’t done with academia and returned to school at Davenport University. He received his MBA in healthcare management at that institution.

Unlike Nneka who is a second-generation immigrant, Iyke is first-generation. He was born in Nigeria, just like Nneka’s parents. Additionally, he has quite a bit of generational wealth, too. In fact, his dad is a wealthy businessman and even made an attempt into the world of politics.

Prior to Iyke’s reality stardom, he already considered himself an influencer, proudly declaring it in his Instagram bio. On his page, he shares Reels of skits and life as a doctor. Plus, he features his lovely wife quite a bit.
