Regina Daniels Became Ned Nwoko’s Wife at the age of 20

Regina’s fame took to a different height, and her name made headlines with a news report in April 2019. It was reported that she is in a romantic relationship with Ned Nwoko, and he is the one funding her lavish lifestyle. At first, fans and the general public considered it the normal internet rumors and speculations against celebrities, especially actors. But, no, it eventually became a reality.

On 26th May 2019, while the news was still making rounds, the two had already gone on to get married in a traditional wedding ceremony at the actress’s hometown in Anaocha LGA, Delta State. According to reports, actress Regina Daniels and Ned Nwoko met for the first time at his Mount Ned Nwoko Resort in Asaba when the actress visited with her family during a vacation. They reportedly got married barely three weeks after they met.

She Got Married to Ned Despite Their Huge Age Difference and all Criticisms

Regina continued making headlines following her marriage to the politician and literally became the talk of the town. People were all up with many negative reactions, specifically after realizing the age of the man she was marrying. Born on 21st December 1960, Ned Nwoko is 63 years old and is 38 years older than Regina.

In addition to the huge generational gap between them, fans criticized that she was barely an adult and that the man was already married to four wives with numerous children. However, fans concluded that Ned Nwoko’s wealth is the sole reason she agreed to marry him and went on to call the politician out, accusing him of greed and sexual pervasion.

Meanwhile, while some believed that it is way better for the actress to marry the man legally than to be his side chick, others strongly disapproved of it. Alongside criticisms from her fans, Regina’s father, Bar. Jude Ojegwu also was not in support of the marriage and openly kicked against it. According to her father, Regina is still a child and has no business marrying a man of such age. His disapproval of the marriage resulted in his exclusion from the whole marriage process.

Amidst all criticisms, Regina married Ned, and they have remained married. In one of the interviews she granted, the actress said that this is what she wants because it couldn’t have worked with someone around her age, given that she is a very stubborn person. Besides that, the actress does her best to put all criticisms aside and focus on her marriage.

Her fame grew yet again after the birth of his son. Notably, each milestone the actress made takes people back to criticizing and accusing her of marrying Ned because of financial exploitation. But, Regina lives her life to the fullest, and it has become obvious that she does not care a bit about people’s opinions.

On 29th June 2022, exactly two years after the arrival of her first child, Regina and he husband welcomed their second child. She took to Instagram the same day to announce the news and posted a black and white maternity photo of herself in a long black tube dress. This is a remarkable event as Munir and her brother now share the same birth month.
