Regina Daniels, the Nigerian actress, has addressed the controversy surrounding her recent statement about having 20 boyfriends before marrying Ned Nwoko.

The couple tied the knot in 2019. The union is blessed with two sons.

Recently, Daniels revealed that she had multiple suitors before she met Ned, with over 20 boyfriends for different purposes.

“When I started with my husband, I forgot I was supposed to have a boyfriend,” she said.

“Then I had like 20 boyfriends, each for different purposes. So when people think I did not have a choice or think my mum forced me to marry my husband.”

But on Wednesday, Daniels took to her Instagram page to clarify that the comment was intended to reassure her husband and empower young girls.

She also emphasized that having multiple male friends willing to help doesn’t obligate women to compromise their values.

The actress revealed that she had many admirers before marriage but kept her promise to remain a virgin until marriage.

“Hey everyone I want to clarify the 20 boyfriend ish solely to soothe my husband and also educate young girls that having several male/boy friends willing to do things for you doesn’t mean you owe them your body,” she said.

“And oh yes. I did have a lot but I made a promise to keep my virginity till my marriage. And guess what? I did!!!. It’s a big flex 💪

“But hold on ! What did you guys expect na ? It was your little beautiful sweetheart, Regina Daniels of course men and ladies would admire. So everyone chill pls.”

Banky W, the singer, and his actress wife Adesua Etomi have welcomed the arrival of their second child — a baby boy.

Banky W shared the news on Instagram with a heartwarming video showcasing his hands-on approach to family life since the baby’s birth.

The video features him cooking, helping around the house, and supporting Adesua.

“But more importantly than that I am a husband and a father. We just had our second child who is an amazing young boy,” he said in the video.

Since the baby’s arrival, Banky W said he has taken on various roles, from chef and housekeeper to homework helper and masseuse.

The singer also advocated for gender equality, saying “supporting women’s economic power means doing my part in our home and community”.

“Partnership is 100-100, not 50-50. That means that in this season, I’ve been a chef, housekeeper, nanny, homework teacher, masseuse, and more all as part of my duty as a supportive husband and present father of two 😁🥰🫶🏽. And honestly, I couldn’t be happier,” the post’s caption reads in part.

“Supporting Women’s Economic Power means doing my part in our home.”
