Nwoko said his union with the actress was not the result of manipulation or power play, as widely speculated.

He stated:

“For clarity, Regina Daniels was born on October 10, 2000. If she has been married to me for six years, that means she married at 19, not 17. the public witnessed her family giving her away in marriage. There were witnesses to the fact that her mother personally brought her to me. I never went after her.”

The statement appeared to be Nwoko’s attempt to defend himself against the widespread criticism that followed recent revelations by Regina, who accused him of domestic violence and emotional abuse.

The couple’s relationship, once portrayed as glamorous, has taken a dramatic turn. Regina, in a post two weeks ago, announced she was “no longer interested” in the marriage, citing years of alleged abuse.

In response, Nwoko accused the actress of substance abuse, insisting she needed rehabilitation.

The public feud has since deepened the rift, dividing fans and sparking national debate on power imbalance in celebrity marriages.

However, Regina Daniels has revealed that age may not deter her from love in another life despite the storm surrounding her marriage to Ned Nwoko.

The actress responded to a curious fan on Instagram about whether she would consider marrying an older man again.
