I married my husband a virgin – Regina Daniels clarifies claims of having 20 boyfriends
Nigerian actress Regina Daniels has clarified that she lost her virginity to her husband, Ned Nwoko, after facing backlash for mentioning multiple boyfriends before their marriage.
During a live session earlier on her social media page, the actress addressed rumors suggesting she had no choice in marrying Nwoko, who is significantly older, stating that she had “20 other men” providing for her basic needs.
“When I saw him with my husband, I forgot I was supposed to have a boyfriend. At that time, I had about 20 boyfriends, each serving different purposes. When people think I didn’t have a choice or that my mom forced me, they don’t know my mom was actually against it. My entire family said no, but one day, I will share our story,” she said.
Her comment about having “20 boyfriends” drew criticism from some Nigerians who accused her of being involved with numerous men prior to her marriage.
In response to the backlash, Daniels took to Instagram on Wednesday to clarify her statements, emphasizing that she married her husband as a virgin and that her past relationships were not physical.
She explained, “Hey everyone, I want to clarify that the ’20 boyfriends’ comment was meant to soothe 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 friends, but I promised to keep my virginity until marriage. And guess what? I did! It’s a big flex.
“But hold on! What did you guys expect? It’s your little beautiful sweetheart, Regina Daniels. Of course, men and women would admire me. So everyone, please chill.”
