(DDM) – Popular Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has spoken out amid reports of a serious marital crisis with her husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, revealing that she regrets ignoring her mother’s earlier warnings about love and marriage.
The actress took to her Instagram story late Tuesday night, where she broke her silence on the matter and pleaded with Nigerians to stop insulting her mother, Rita Daniels, who has faced intense online criticism since the controversy erupted.
In her post, monitored by Diaspora Digital Media (DDM), Regina admitted that her mother cautioned her about rushing into marriage despite her young age and the complexities that come with fame, wealth, and politics.
“My mum warned me, but I was too in love to listen. I thought I knew everything about love and life, but now I’m ashamed that I didn’t listen. Please, stop insulting my mother, she did everything a mother should,” the actress wrote.
This revelation comes days after viral social media reports alleged that the actress had moved out of her husband’s Abuja mansion following a series of disagreements linked to political and family matters.
Sources close to the Nwoko household told DDM that tensions began to rise when Regina reportedly objected to certain family decisions involving business and inheritance issues. However, neither Regina nor Senator Nwoko has officially confirmed the details.
The actress’s emotional confession has reignited public debate about early marriages, power dynamics, and the price of fame in Nigeria’s entertainment industry.
Many fans flooded her comment section with messages of support, empathy, and advice to “choose peace and self-worth over pressure.”
Media analysts note that this latest outburst may signal the beginning of a public unraveling of one of Nigeria’s most discussed celebrity marriages.
Regina and Ned Nwoko tied the knot in 2019 amid intense controversy over their age difference and the senator’s existing marriages.
Since then, the couple has often projected a picture of harmony through social media, appearing together at political and cultural events while raising two sons.
Regina’s plea for the public to “leave her mother out of it” reflects a growing frustration with online harassment and societal judgment that often accompany celebrity relationships in Nigeria.
As the story continues to dominate headlines, fans, and critics alike await an official response from Senator Nwoko, whose political and personal life have been under increasing public scrutiny in recent months.
