Trophy Husband
The Trophy Husband phenomenon is relatively new, found primarily in Western and Asian countries.
Description[edit | edit source]
Unlike like the "Trophy Wife" phenomena, this one is not related to money grabbing & shady contracts. As a matter of fact, the "Trophy Husband" phenomena is vastly different than the latter.
The Trophy Husband is usually average to good looking, and is very popular in some particular circles. The most common aspect of this phenomena is that the husband works in a 'creative job' that brings meager sums of money. A trophy husband might be a fashion model, a guitar player or a film producer, and in some cases he might be a poet, a photographer or a painter.
The wife in question will usually supplement the financial side of the relationship through a stable career, while keeping the prestige of having an 'artsy' husband. Some people refer to these as 'Instagram relationships' because it is meant to portray something that does not really exist.
