LAGOS, Nigeria – Nollywood star Regina Daniels has publicly laid down the law to her billionaire husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, issuing a stunning defence of her commitment in their controversial marriage.
The 25-year-old actress, who is the youngest wife of the 67-year-old Nigerian lawmaker, reportedly told him in a heated exchange: “You can accuse me of anything but you cannot accuse me of sleeping around.”
The explosive denial, believed to have been made during a private moment now widely discussed, throws a fresh spotlight on one of Nigeria’s most talked-about unions, often scrutinised due to the staggering four-decade age gap.
Sources close to the couple suggest Regina, a mother-of-two, was responding to persistent, unproven whispers surrounding her loyalty to the older politician.
Her passionate words are seen as an attempt to shut down online trolls and gossips who have long targeted the actress since she married the former House of Representatives member in 2019.
Regina Daniels was already a massive star in Nigeria’s booming film industry before her marriage, famed for her youthful beauty and acting talent.
Her decision to marry Nwoko—a high-profile polygamist and one of Nigeria’s wealthiest men—sparked a firestorm. Many critics questioned the union due to the age difference, while fans defended the actress’s choice.
Nwoko, who has multiple wives, is known for his lavish lifestyle and political clout. His marriage to Regina has produced two sons, cementing her place firmly within the Nwoko dynasty.
However, despite the luxurious lifestyle and designer threads, the marriage has been constantly dogged by rumours.
Regina’s bold declaration to her husband confirms the pressure she is under to prove her fidelity.
She seems to be saying: “I accept the critics over the age gap and the lifestyle… but not my honour!”
The actress’s defiant statement is sure to send a fresh shockwave through Nigeria’s celebrity circles. Watch this space—the drama is far from over!
