Nollywood star Chika Ike has firmly dismissed swirling rumors linking her pregnancy to billionaire politician Ned Nwoko. In a candid Instagram post on February 18, 2025, the actress declared, “Ned isn’t the father of my child… I’m not about to be anyone’s 7th wife! Polygamy isn’t for me.”
The speculation ignited after Ike, 39, unveiled her pregnancy on February 10, 2025, sharing radiant photos of her baby bump.

The narrative intensified when Nwoko’s wife, Regina Daniels, briefly deactivated her Instagram account, fueling unfounded claims of Ike becoming Nwoko’s seventh wife.

Addressing these allegations, Ike emphasized her commitment to privacy: “I’ve been pregnant for months now, and no one even had a clue… You all do not know anything about me! Because you can’t! Except I choose to disclose.”
Nwoko’s media team also refuted the rumors, labeling them “false and wicked.”
Ike, who has faced media scrutiny throughout her career, stated, “I don’t care about rumors because I understand it comes with my career choice… My privacy is my peace, and no one can unsettle me.”
The actress, known for her roles in films like “Mirror of Beauty” (2007), continues to focus on her impending motherhood, undeterred by public speculation.
