Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has sparked fresh conversations about age-gap relationships after revealing she would not completely rule out marrying an older man in the future, despite the ongoing turmoil in her marriage to billionaire politician Ned Nwoko.
Instagram Exchange Goes Viral
The screen star found herself addressing the delicate topic during an Instagram interaction with a curious fan. User @Olivia_onyii commented on one of Regina's posts with a pointed question: "In your next wife, when you see old rich man, you go pick race."
Regina's response surprised many of her followers: "@Olivia_onyii why? Not all old men can be babies though! But I don learn from this Shege banza sha." The actress's Pidgin English reply suggested that while she's learned difficult lessons from her current situation, she doesn't believe all older men behave immaturely.
Working Through the Storm
This revelation comes during a period of intense public scrutiny for the actress, who has faced numerous allegations regarding her marriage, including claims of marital abuse, infidelity, and family disputes. Despite these challenges, Regina has been focusing on her career and brand partnerships.
Earlier reports indicated that the actress had returned to work, promoting brand deals with her signature confidence and grace. In a recent video shared on her Instagram page, she appeared determined to move forward with her professional life while navigating her personal struggles.
Family Drama and Public Support

Meanwhile, her brother Sweezy made serious allegations against Senator Nwoko, claiming he nearly beat their mother and treated a sick niece poorly by sending her away from his house at 3 am.
