Nollywood star Regina Daniels has addressed longstanding speculations about her marriage to billionaire and politician Ned Nwoko, insisting that her decision was not influenced by material gains but a genuine connection. In a recent live video, Daniels expressed that her relationship with Nwoko, who is significantly older, was built on shared values and a deep mutual understanding, rather than financial benefits.
The actress, 22, revealed that her family initially resisted the marriage, including her mother, Rita Daniels, who reportedly took time to understand and accept her choice. “My mum and family were initially against my marriage to Ned,” Daniels explained, adding that her mother’s support only came after seeing her unwavering commitment.
Contrary to rumors that her mother introduced her to Nwoko, Daniels clarified that she first encountered the businessman while on a sightseeing trip with a former boyfriend. According to her, the encounter sparked a connection rooted in common interests and values, leading to a relationship that she describes as fulfilling and focused on her personal growth.
“People don’t see the other side of him,” Daniels shared, adding that her marriage has brought her happiness and peace. She refuted claims that wealth was her motivation, emphasizing that her decision to marry Nwoko was personal and heartfelt.
Despite public criticism surrounding their age gap and questions about her motives, Daniels remains unshaken. She called on the public to look beyond appearances, reaffirming that her marriage was rooted in love and personal conviction.
