Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has opened up about her journey through motherhood, sharing emotional details about her children and evolving perspective on family life.
The actress made the revelations during a conversation with TikTok creator Jarvis inside a car shortly after her Children’s Day carnival on May 27.
Speaking candidly, Daniels disclosed that she has not seen her sons since last year but remains hopeful about reuniting with them soon.
“Yeah, of course I miss them. But I know I’ll see them soon, by God’s grace. Insha’Allah. I saw them last year. They’re so good. My first one will be 6 this year. My second will be 4. And now my boy, his teeth fell off,” she said.
She went on to reflect on how much her children have grown, highlighting small milestones that continue to make her emotional.
Beyond missing her sons, Daniels also shared her thoughts on motherhood and family, revealing a shift in her personal desires. According to her, she once did not want a daughter but has now changed her mind and strongly hopes to have one someday.
Interestingly, the actress noted that marriage is no longer a priority for her at this stage of her life, even though she still desires to expand her family.
“But for some reason, I’ve checked my mind out of getting married. But I’m yet to have a girl, and I must have a girl. I feel like motherhood starts better. Like, you would understand motherhood when you have a girl child,” she explained.
Daniels also shared her perspective on raising boys versus girls, stating that boys often grow up looking up to their fathers, while girls tend to mirror their mothers.
“It’s easy to raise boys than girls because at least you groom them into having a role model figure as a father. But for your girl child, you have to be that role model for them to emulate,” she added.
She concluded by reflecting on family dynamics, suggesting that men often grow up to focus on building their own families, while women tend to remain more emotionally connected to their roots.
“But men would grow, they’ll get married, they’ll start their family, and they’ll be very, very firm on building a family. But women, they would always remember home,” she said.
Her remarks have since sparked conversations online about motherhood, gender roles, and evolving views on marriage and family life.
