“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.

Shortly after, she walked away from the marriage and moved into her own house.
Ever since, she has maintained that she is now single.
