Nigerian actress Regina Daniels has re-emerged on social media following widespread rumors surrounding her marriage to billionaire politician Ned Nwoko.
Speculation erupted after reports suggested that Nollywood actress Chika Ike was expecting a child, with many pointing fingers at Nwoko as the alleged father. Amid the swirling controversy, Daniels took to TikTok on February 17, 2025, posting a playful video of herself dancing to a song with the caption, “Look into my eyes, tears wan wound me.”
Shortly after, she also shared clips from a recent party on Snapchat, subtly signaling her presence despite the online chaos.
The rumors gained traction after Chika Ike announced her pregnancy, fueling speculation that her unborn child’s father was a prominent politician known for practicing polygamy. Online users quickly connected the dots, pointing out that the politician in question was allegedly already married to a Nollywood actress.
This led many to assume that Ned Nwoko, who is known for his multiple marriages, was at the center of the controversy. As whispers intensified, people flocked to Regina Daniels’ social media pages, demanding answers and flooding her comment sections with questions.
The overwhelming online attention seemed to take a toll on the young actress. Over the weekend, Regina deactivated her Instagram account, leading to further speculation that she was distressed by the rumors. Observers also noted her conspicuous silence on Valentine’s Day, a significant date often celebrated by couples.
Furthermore, she did not publicly acknowledge her husband’s latest political achievement, which many interpreted as a sign of turmoil in their marriage. These actions only fueled assumptions that the actress was upset over the possibility of her husband welcoming a new wife.
As the rumors gained momentum, social media platforms were flooded with heated discussions. Many users debated the possibility of Ned Nwoko taking a seventh wife, with some expressing sympathy for Regina Daniels while others speculated that she was struggling to accept the realities of a polygamous marriage.
Some critics, however, dismissed the rumors as a mere attempt to stir controversy and grab attention. “It’s all noise,” one Twitter user wrote. “Regina knew what she signed up for. Why the drama now?” Another user argued, “People just love to spread gossip. Let the woman breathe!”
At the height of the controversy, Ned Nwoko’s office finally stepped in to set the record straight. A strongly worded press statement was released, firmly denying any involvement between the politician and Chika Ike.
The statement read in part, “Our attention has been drawn to the recent false rumors alleging that Senator Prince Ned Munir Nwoko is planning to marry Nollywood actress Chika Ike as his seventh wife and that she is pregnant for him. We categorically state that these claims are entirely baseless and a product of malicious speculation.”
The official denial aimed to quash the speculation, but many social media users remained skeptical, arguing that similar rumors had circulated in the past and later turned out to be true. Others pointed out that neither Regina Daniels nor Chika Ike had personally addressed the allegations, leaving room for continued doubt.
Some supporters, however, urged the public to respect Regina’s privacy and refrain from making assumptions about her personal life. “Whether true or not, she deserves peace,” one fan commented.
Despite the press statement, the buzz surrounding the alleged pregnancy and marriage rumors continues to linger. Regina Daniels’ return to social media, though subtle, has not entirely quelled curiosity.
Whether she chooses to address the matter directly or continue to move forward in silence remains to be seen. For now, her posts suggest she is determined to focus on her own happiness, even as the online world keeps a close watch on the unfolding drama.
