Nigerian actress Regina Daniels has deactivated her Instagram account following circulating rumours about her husband, Ned Nwoko, allegedly welcoming a child with fellow actress Chika Ike.
It was confirmed that Daniels’ Instagram account has been completely removed from the platform, fueling speculation about the state of her marriage.
This comes shortly after her return from London, where she attended the premiere of Ayo Makun’s movie The Waiter.
The speculation surrounding Daniels’ marriage intensified when she refrained from celebrating her husband publicly on Valentine’s Day.
This decision, combined with her silence regarding Nwoko’s recent political move—his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC)—has further raised questions about their relationship.
Adding fuel to the fire, Chika Ike, an actress and former beauty queen, took to Instagram on February 10 to announce that she was expecting her first child.
Sharing a picture of her baby bump, Ike sparked even more rumours about Nwoko’s involvement.
Social media users quickly connected the dots, with many suggesting that Regina’s silence and her decision to deactivate her account might be tied to her husband’s alleged relationship with Ike.
“How can wife number six be upset about wife number seven, when wife number five didn’t react?” commented one social media user, referencing Nwoko’s reportedly multiple marriages.
The businessman, who practices Islam, is permitted to marry multiple wives, and he is rumoured to have as many as six wives. However, only Regina and Moroccan wife Laila Charani are publicly known to the public.
While Nwoko has not made a public statement regarding the allegations, the media frenzy has led to divided opinions online.
Some social media users are expressing sympathy for Regina, while others believe she should have anticipated the situation given Nwoko’s known polygamous lifestyle. One commenter remarked, “But why is Regina surprised? She knew what she was getting into.”
This ongoing drama has cast a spotlight on the dynamics of Nwoko’s marriage and the challenges faced by his wives, especially in light of recent revelations about his personal life.
The absence of Regina from Instagram has further added to the growing curiosity about the couple’s future, leaving many wondering how the situation will unfold in the public eye.
