Rita Daniels Says She Never Approved Regina Daniels’ Marriage To Ned Nwoko
Nollywood actress Rita Daniels has revealed that she was never in support of her daughter Regina Daniels’ marriage to billionaire politician Senator Ned Nwoko, despite widespread assumptions that she encouraged the union.
In a resurfaced interview with BBC Igbo, recorded on October 7, 2025, Rita explained that Regina made the decision on her own, without her knowledge or approval.
“I never wanted my daughter to marry Ned Nwoko, but she insisted. I didn’t even know when their relationship started,” she said.
The actress said she has been wrongly accused of arranging the marriage, but she has chosen to absorb the criticism to shield her daughter from public backlash. “People keep blaming me for it, but that’s not true. I just decided to take the blame rather than let them attack her,” she added.
The interview’s reemergence has reignited online debate, with fans divided between those who believe Rita’s account and others who think she played a role in the controversial union.
