Daniels marriage to Nwoko has long attracted public attention due to their 40-year age gap (Regina was 19 at the time, while Nwoko was 59).
The couple’s union has also faced scrutiny because of Nwoko’s polygamous lifestyle; he reportedly has six wives, with Daniels as the youngest. Nwoko is a Muslim.
At the time of this report, neither Nwoko nor Daniels has issued an official statement regarding the alleged marital fracture.
