Amid growing public concern over the marriage of actress Regina Daniels and businessman and lawmaker Senator Ned Nwoko, specifically regarding the actress’s age at the time of marriage, the lawmaker has revealed fresh details concerning the exact age at which he married her.
In a Thursday post on his official X handle, the Delta North lawmaker dismissed the claim of underage marriage as “entirely untrue and misleading,” while providing a picture evidence of the actress’s Voter’s Identity card.
According to the lawmaker, he married her at the age of 21, further alleging that the actress’s mother had previously granted an interview on BBC, where she dismissed the public outcry regarding the underage marriage claim.
Nwoko wrote, “It has come to my attention that false claims are being circulated by Regina, suggesting that I married her when she was 17 years old. These claims are entirely untrue and misleading.

“For clarity, during my first meeting with Regina, I asked her age, and she told me she was 21 years old. I further asked if she had any document to support this, and she presented her inec voter’s card, which clearly shows that she was born on October 10th, 1998. I informed her that I would keep this document in my possession, and I have done so since that day.”
The lawmaker added, “I have also seen a BBC interview Her mom granted after our marriage regarding her age.
“According to all verifiable records, our marriage took place six years ago, which means Regina is 27 years old today. Any suggestion that I married her at 17 is false and should not be accepted by the public.”
“The facts are verifiable and indisputable. Until this is done, I urge the public to approach all her claims with caution and discernment especially taking into account her current mental condition having started and abandoned her rehabilitation from illegal drug addiction,” he concluded.
