Regina Daniels, however, said her mum and entire family opposed her marriage to Delta North Senator, Ned Nwoko.

Disclosing this during a live on Instagram, the actress said: “I went to visit my boyfriend and I was so angry about why we had to go sightseeing, but when we got there I met a cute man.

“The moral of the story is that your boyfriend should not stop you from seeing your husband.

“When I started with my husband I forgot I was to have boyfriends; of course, I had like 20. When people think I don’t have a choice, I’m like what?

“People were saying mummy forced me not knowing that she was against the marriage, my full family said no.”

Nwoko married Regina Daniels in May 2019 in Aniocha Local Government Area, Delta State, despite the huge age gap.

Explaining why he married the 23-year-old actress, the 63-year-old politician said he tied the knot because Regina Daniels was from his place.

“For her particularly, I married her because she is from my place. I wanted to marry a wife from my place and was looking for the right person. By the time I met her, I knew she must be the one,” Nwoko had said.
