Ned Nwoko, husband of Nollywood star Regina Daniels and senator representing Delta North, has confirmed an intriguing revelation made by his wife about her many admirers before their marriage. Daniels, who previously disclosed she had over 20 suitors, now has her claim validated by her husband, bringing fresh insight into their much-discussed relationship.
Regina Daniels had shared the story of her past admirers in October, claiming that among the suitors were pastors, oil magnates, and movie producers. To reaffirm this, Daniels recently posted a video of Nwoko recounting the story in conversation with friends. In the video, Nwoko openly praised his wife’s values, emphasizing her virtue and the upbringing she received from her mother.
“She is such a gem. Just like she mentioned recently that she had 20 men, yes, she did,” Nwoko revealed. “She told me about so many suitors, including reverend pastors, oil bunkers, and film producers. They pampered her, sent her gifts, and showed her attention, but she had nothing to do with any of them. By the time we got married, she was a virgin.”
Nwoko expressed his gratitude to Regina Daniels’ mother, Rita Daniels, for raising her with such strong values. He credited her upbringing as the reason Daniels remained steadfast despite the pressures of fame and attention.
A Love Story That Began With an Unusual Proposal
Reflecting on the early days of their relationship, Nwoko admitted that his approach to proposing to Daniels was far from traditional. Instead of following cultural norms that dictate seeking the permission of the father or uncles, he went straight to her mother.
“I went to her mother and told her why I was there,” he explained. “As a traditional man, I know I was supposed to go to the father and uncle’s house, but I told myself I don’t have time for the formality. I like this girl, and I’m going to make haste.”
However, this direct approach caused friction within Daniels’ family. Nwoko revealed that after his first visit, arguments erupted among Daniels’ siblings and her mother, leading to broken glass and Regina temporarily leaving the family house. Despite the challenges, Nwoko and Daniels’ love story eventually triumphed.
Regina Daniels’ Heartfelt Reaction
The actress shared the video of her husband’s remarks on Instagram, expressing her joy at hearing him speak about her with so much affection. “Hubby just sent me this really cute video his friend made, and I couldn’t help but share,” Daniels wrote. “Isn’t this unplanned conversation about me with his friends and colleagues so cute? Honestly, I always love hearing hubby speak about me with so much love, especially in my absence.”
A Bond Rooted in Love and Tradition
Their marriage, though unconventional in its beginnings, has continued to thrive despite public scrutiny. Nwoko’s reflections not only highlight the deep respect he holds for his wife but also showcase their shared values of loyalty, love, and respect for tradition.
For fans and followers of the couple, their story serves as a testament to love that defies expectations, proving that sincerity and understanding can build a lasting relationship, no matter the challenges.
