The ongoing and highly publicised custody dispute between Nollywood actress Regina Daniels and her ex-husband, billionaire politician Ned Nwoko, has taken a new turn with the alleged leak of a private conversation. A chat, purportedly between Daniels and a nanny formerly employed in Nwoko's household, surfaced online on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, sparking a fresh wave of reactions from fans and followers.
Alleged Chat Reveals Nanny's Plight and Regina's Support
In the alleged text message exchange, the nanny, identified as Ruth, detailed the circumstances that led to her departure from Ned Nwoko's residence. She claimed that the atmosphere in the home had become difficult for the domestic staff following Regina Daniels' exit, with the nannies bearing the brunt of the tension between the former couple.
Regina Daniels is said to have responded with words of comfort and encouragement. Expressing regret over the situation, the actress reportedly asked for the nanny's bank details, promising to send her financial support. This alleged interaction highlights the personal toll the legal battle is taking on those closely involved with the family.
Broader Context of the Custody Dispute
This development comes amidst a series of public revelations from Regina Daniels concerning the fight for custody of their two young sons. The actress recently took to social media to accuse Ned Nwoko of attempting to isolate her from her children. In one instance, she shared a video call with her sons while showing a box filled with toys, shoes, and clothes she had purchased for them, implying restricted access.
Daniels has also made a serious allegation that Ned Nwoko asked the children's nannies to write false statements against her, depicting her as a violent person and someone who abuses substances. Furthermore, the actress expressed concern when a woman named Laila Charani was seen holding one of her children during a family gathering at the Nwoko residence, viewing it as part of a strategy to edge her out.

Others, however, viewed the situation differently.
