The actress humorously explained that she had been sightseeing with one of her “20 ex-boyfriends” when fate intervened. “I was so annoyed that we had to go sightseeing,” she laughed, “but when we got there, I saw a cute man.”

That moment, she insists changed her life, and the advice she now has for young women is unforgettable: “Ladies, don’t let a boyfriend stop you from meeting your husband!”

“It was meant to be just another date, but then I met this cute man, and that was it,” Regina laughed, adding the memorable advice: “Ladies, never let a boyfriend stop you from meeting your husband!”

Daniels, who married Nwoko in 2019, confided that her loved ones were concerned about the unconventional match.

Contrary to rumors, Regina Daniels insists her mother didn’t push her into the marriage; in fact, her entire family initially opposed the match.

Regina addressed the persistent rumors, dismissing the speculation with a laugh.

“People think my mom forced me, but she was against it too, as was my whole family. Once I met him, it felt like I forgot I was supposed to date other people.”

The debate over Regina Daniels’ choice is one fans and critics have since shared an opinion on.

Now a proud wife and mother of two, Regina’s insights add a new dimension to her public persona—while exempting her family from blame.
