Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels said she is no longer interested in marriage after her messy separation from her estranged husband, Senator Ned Nwoko.

The mother of two, however, said she is still much interested in having more children, vowing that she must have a daughter.

Speaking during a recent livestream with Tiktoker Jarvis, Daniels explained that she wants to her a daughter because she believes daughters care more for their parents during old age.

“I want to have six children and I have two already, two boys. It so crazy but for some reason I have checked my mind out from getting married. But I am going to have a girl and I must have a girl.

“Men will grow, get married and and focus more on building family. But for women she will always remember home,” she added.

Regina Daniels and her estranged husband, Ned Nwoko, got married in 2019, sparking public outrage due to 40-year age gap between the actress, who was only 19 then, and the billionaire politician.

They share two children; all boys.

In late 2025, their marriage hit a highly public crisis following allegations by Nwoko that the actress was struggling with drug and alcohol abuse and requiring rehabilitation.

Regina Daniels swiftly debunked the allegations and accused Nwoko of manipulation, psychological control, and abuse.

Shortly after, she walked away from the marriage and moved into her own house.

Ever since, she has maintained that she is now single.

Nigerian entrepreneur and socialite, Pascal Chibuike Okechukwu, also known as Cubana Chief Priest, has opened up on his fallout with singer Burna Boy, alleging that the music star publicly attacked him because of his close relationship with Davido.

Speaking during an interview on The Beat 99.9 FM on Wednesday, Cubana Chief Priest said his journey to success began from apprenticeship and years of hard work, adding that fame and financial growth often attract envy and criticism.

“Success comes with a lot of hate. I started my journey from apprenticeship and service and I learnt so much about growth and perseverance. When you start becoming successful, you understand how people treat you.

“I was on my own and Burna Boy came for me, went on his big platform and started tweeting things that are not genuine, things that are not possible, things that have not existed and the attack was straight to my wealth.

“So he wanted to make people look at my wealth, disrespect my wealth, I felt bad and that happened because of my relationship with Davido,” he said.

He further stated that Davido has consistently supported his businesses and personal projects.

“David is always there for me. He opened all my nightclubs, restaurants, everything. He always shows up to support me.

“He’s investing in clubs in Lagos, and I’m making music to prove a point that I can,” he added.
