Nollywood actress Regina Daniels’ mother, Rita Daniels, has revealed that she was initially against her daughter’s marriage to Nigerian billionaire politician Ned Nwoko. Speaking during a recent interview, Rita disclosed that she did not support the union at first and was unaware of the relationship until it became public.
Rita explained that as a mother, she had different expectations for her daughter and never imagined Regina would marry a man much older than her. “At the beginning, I didn’t even know she was seeing him. When I eventually found out, I was not in support because I wanted something different for her,” she said.
However, Rita shared that her opinion changed after meeting Ned Nwoko and observing how he treated her daughter. She said Ned proved to be respectful, caring, and genuinely in love with Regina, which eventually won her trust and blessing. “He made my daughter happy, and that was what mattered most to me as a mother,” she added.
The revelation has reignited public debate about Regina’s marriage, which has often attracted attention due to the couple’s large age gap. Despite the criticism, the actress has repeatedly expressed her happiness and gratitude for her husband’s support. Rita concluded by advising parents to trust their children’s decisions once they are mature, noting that happiness and peace in marriage are more important than public opinion.
