Married filing jointly for the first time - How to update W-4s?

My partner and I got married in 2020, but never updated our W-4s. I'd like to update them in 2021 so that we aren't paying too much or too little each month.

 

We plan to file married filing jointly, and I am the breadwinner. Based on what I've read elsewhere, I think I am supposed to input the amount to withhold on my W-4. Does my partner then leave his W-4 blank?
