Nigerian actress and film producer Regina Daniels recently made headlines with a candid revelation about her dating past.
In a live video session, the young star shared that she once had over 20 boyfriends, each of whom supported her in various ways.
Her comments quickly sparked a wave of reactions, prompting her to issue a public apology to her husband, billionaire politician Ned Nwoko.
Regina, who is known for her beauty and charm, took to social media to clarify her statements and address the misconceptions surrounding her past relationships.
She explained that her intention was not to boast about the number of boyfriends but rather to share a lesson for young women.
“Having several male friends willing to do things for you doesn’t mean you owe them your body,” Regina stated.
The actress emphasized that her past dating experiences were not about intimacy but rather friendships with men who provided her with different types of support.
Regina went on to reveal that despite her numerous relationships, she made a personal commitment to remain a virgin until marriage.
She proudly declared, “Oh yes, I did have a lot, but I made a promise to keep my virginity till my marriage. And guess what? I did!!! It’s a big flex.”
The actress’s statement has since gone viral, with fans and followers both praising her honesty and debating the implications of her message.
Regina’s public apology to her husband came as a response to the stir her comments had caused online.
She expressed regret for any discomfort her remarks might have caused her husband, whom she met under unusual circumstances.
In her live video, Regina had humorously shared that she first met Ned Nwoko while she was on a date with an ex-boyfriend, quipping, “You shouldn’t let your boyfriend prevent you from meeting your soulmate.”
This revelation added a layer of humor to the story but also stirred up discussions about loyalty, dating culture, and her unique marriage.
Regina’s relationship with Ned Nwoko has been the subject of public interest since they married in 2019.
Their marriage, which has a notable age difference, sparked conversations in Nigeria and beyond, with many questioning the dynamics of their union.
However, the couple has repeatedly shown a united front, with Regina often sharing glimpses of her life as a wife and mother on social media.
In her message, Regina aimed to clarify that her past dating life should be seen as a learning experience, not a source of scandal.
She used the opportunity to educate young women on the importance of boundaries and self-respect in relationships.
“I want young girls to understand that they don’t owe anyone their bodies simply because someone chooses to help or support them,” Regina shared.
The actress also acknowledged that her beauty and charm have always attracted admiration, making her a popular figure even before her rise in the Nigerian film industry.
She humorously addressed her followers, saying, “What did you guys expect? I was your little beautiful sweetheart, Regina Daniels. Of course, men and ladies would admire.”
