Regina Daniels clarifies ’20 boyfriends’ comment

Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has expressed that maintaining her virginity until her marriage to Nigerian politician Ned Nwoko was a significant achievement.

The actress shared her thoughts during an Instagram Live session while addressing the controversy surrounding her recent comment about having 20 boyfriends before marrying Ned.

IDOMA VOICE recalls that Regina revealed that she had multiple suitors and maintained 20 boyfriends for various reasons before meeting her husband. She stated, “When I started with my husband, I forgot I was supposed to have a boyfriend. I had about 20 boyfriends, each for different purposes. So when people assume I didn’t have a choice or that my mom forced me to marry my husband, that’s not the case.”

In a follow-up Instagram post on Wednesday, Regina clarified that her comments were meant to reassure her husband and empower young girls. She emphasized that having multiple male friends who are willing to help does not mean women have to compromise their values. She proudly stated that she had many admirers before marriage but remained a virgin until her wedding.

She said, “Hey everyone, I want to clarify the ’20 boyfriends’ thing. It was solely to reassure 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 many admirers, but I made a promise to keep my virginity until marriage. And guess what? I did! It’s a big flex 💪

“But hold on! What did you guys expect? I’m your little beautiful sweetheart, Regina Daniels, so of course, men and women would admire me. So everyone, please chill!”
