Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has addressed her viral video in which she mentioned having around 20 boyfriends before meeting her husband, Ned Nwoko. Despite the numerous suitors, she emphasized that she remained a virgin until her marriage.
In a recent TikTok livestream, Daniels attempted to challenge the narrative that she had “no choice” when she married Nwoko at the age of 19. She stated, “When I started with my husband, I even forgot that I was supposed to have boyfriends. Of course, I had about 20 at the time—I can count them. This one would buy me water; that one would buy me chewing gum; another one would drive me around. So when people think I didn’t have a choice, it’s crazy.”
Her comments sparked a wave of reactions on social media, prompting her to clarify her statement on Instagram on October 30, 2024. In her post, she aimed to reassure her husband and educate young girls about maintaining their boundaries.
“Hey everyone, I want to clarify the 20 boyfriend thing to soothe my husband and educate young girls that having several male friends willing to do things for you doesn’t mean you owe them your body. And yes, I had a lot of friends, but I made a promise to keep my virginity until marriage. And guess what? I did! It’s a big flex,” she wrote.
To further calm her followers, she added, “But hold on! What did you all expect? It was your little beautiful sweetheart, Regina Daniels. Of course, men and women would admire me. So everyone, please chill!”
