I’ll have female child, but marriage not for me — Regina Daniels

By Adegboyega Adeleye

Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has declared that she is no longer interested in marriage following her separation from estranged husband Ned Nwoko.

The actress made the revelation during a livestream session with content creator Jarvis, where she opened up about motherhood, family and her changing perspective on relationships after the collapse of her marriage to the billionaire politician.

“For some reason, I have checked my mind out of getting married,” Regina said.

Despite her stance on marriage, the mother of two revealed that she still wants more children and is determined to have a daughter.

“I am going to have a girl. And I must have a girl child,” she stated.

Regina explained that motherhood feels different when raising a female child, adding that daughters tend to remain emotionally connected to their families even after marriage.

“I feel like motherhood starts better when you have a girl child,” she said.

“Before I had my first son, I said I was never going to have a girl child. Boys will grow up and be firm about having their own family. But girls will always remember home.”

The actress also disclosed during the livestream that she has not seen her children since 2025, admitting that she deeply misses them.

“Yeah, of course, I miss my children. But I know I will see them soon by God’s grace. I saw them last year. My first son will be six this year. My second will be four,” she said.

Regina Daniels and Ned Nwoko got married in 2019, a union that generated massive controversy due to their age difference, as the actress was 19 at the time while the senator was significantly older.

Their marriage later became one of the most talked-about celebrity relationships in Nigeria, especially after their public marital crisis in 2025.

The situation escalated after allegations emerged from Nwoko accusing the actress of struggling with substance abuse and requiring rehabilitation.

Regina strongly denied the allegations at the time and accused the senator of manipulation, psychological abuse and controlling behaviour.

The actress later moved out of the marriage and has repeatedly maintained publicly that she is now single.
