Senator Ned Nwoko has stirred social media drama after publicly reporting his actress wife, Regina Daniels, to her mother, Rita Daniels, over what he described as her lack of rest due to constant filming. The confrontation, which was captured on video at a movie set and later shared by Regina herself, has since gone viral.
The Delta North senator arrived unannounced at the production site, visibly displeased with the crew for keeping Regina on her feet for long hours. “My point is from her not resting,” Nwoko insisted, addressing the filmmakers in the presence of Rita Daniels, who was also on set. His outburst immediately drew attention from fans who praised his concern but also criticized the way he handled it.
The exchange escalated when Rita Daniels attempted to intervene, urging Nwoko to settle the matter privately at home. The lawmaker then dropped a bombshell revelation, claiming that Regina often dismisses his authority during personal disagreements. “Oh, she will now tell me, look, you are not my father. I swear to God. She said you are not my father. And I said I’m your husband,” he declared.
Regina, visibly embarrassed by the disclosure, fell to her knees in front of her husband and mother, apologizing for any past remarks. She promised to adjust her schedule and strike a better balance between her acting commitments and family responsibilities. The moment was captured on camera, further fueling the buzz as millions watched the video across Instagram and X.
Shortly after, Regina posted the video on her verified Instagram page with a cheeky caption, calling her husband “so petty” for exposing their private quarrels publicly. The post has since garnered over 2 million views and thousands of comments, with fans split between seeing Nwoko as an overprotective husband and branding the senator a “petty in-law.”
This isn’t the first time the high-profile couple has trended online. Since their marriage in 2019, Ned and Regina’s union has remained a subject of public fascination and controversy, with fans dissecting everything from their age gap to their lavish lifestyle. The latest incident has once again placed their relationship under the spotlight, showing the blend of love, conflict, and spectacle that keeps Nigerians talking.
As reactions continue to flood in, observers say the episode underscores the complexities of celebrity marriages in Nigeria — where private matters easily spill into the public space. For Regina Daniels, balancing her booming Nollywood career with family life remains an ongoing test, while for Ned Nwoko, the challenge is proving that his protective instincts aren’t overshadowed by pettiness.
