In a recent video uploaded to her Instagram page on Wednesday, actress and entrepreneur Regina Daniels addressed growing speculation about her marriage to Ned Nwoko, firmly rejecting claims that she married for financial gain. The 25-year-old star appealed to followers to stop judging her decisions and focus instead on her personal truth. 

“Stop saying I got married out of greed. Excuse me, no. We were not broke. Does that make sense?” Regina said in the video as she carried the message to her fans and critics. 

Emotional Appeal and Family Focus

In the footage, Regina also defended her mother, Rita Daniels, urging the public to stop insulting the veteran actress amid swirling online commentary. “She’s the best thing that ever happened to me,” Regina said. “She held it down.” 

Regina revealed that her family had earlier warned her against the marriage, but she followed her heart and stepped into love regardless. She explained that the public-scrutiny surrounding the relationship has weighed heavily on her mental health. “I was going to kill myself if I didn’t marry Ned,” she confided. 

Her comments come in response to allegations that she tied the knot for fame or financial benefit. Regina emphasised that she enters the conversation from a place of sincerity—“I actually really did fall in love,” she stated. 

What’s Next

While the controversy continues to unfold on social media, Ned Nwoko is yet to issue an official response to Regina’s video. Fans and media outlets are now awaiting further clarity. Regina’s appeal marks a personal intervention in a story that has spun across headlines and online threads for weeks.
