Popular Nollywood actress Regina Daniels is once again at the center of social media conversations as her traditional wedding photo with billionaire politician Ned Nwoko resurfaced online, sparking a fresh wave of debates and mixed opinions from fans and critics alike.
The wedding, which took place in 2019 at Aniocha Local Government Area in Delta State, was one of the most talked-about events at the time, largely due to the significant age gap between the actress and her husband, as well as Nwoko’s polygamous status. Despite the controversy that trailed their union, Regina Daniels has continued to project confidence and happiness in her marriage, choosing to remain unbothered by public scrutiny.
Why Regina Daniels’ Traditional Wedding Photo Resurfaced
The sudden re-emergence of the wedding photo has been linked to the ongoing online discussions surrounding the glamorous weddings of Nigerian celebrities such as Davido and Chioma, and Mr Eazi and Temi Otedola. These high-profile marriages have fueled debates about the cost, cultural relevance, and longevity of celebrity unions.
The viral photo, first re-shared by popular gossip blogger Cutie Juls, captures an intimate moment from the traditional rites, where Ned Nwoko is seen offering a ceremonial cup to Regina Daniels. The image has reignited memories of the couple’s wedding and opened a fresh chapter of public commentary.
It will be recalled that Davido and Chioma tied the knot in an extravagant white wedding in Miami on August 10, 2024, with reports suggesting the event cost a jaw-dropping $3.7 million. Similarly, Mr Eazi and Temi Otedola had a private but luxurious wedding in Iceland, graced by notable dignitaries, including Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote. These high-profile weddings have sparked widespread comparisons online, with Regina Daniels’ marriage once again entering the conversation.

As expected, social media users have expressed diverse reactions to the resurfaced photo. While some criticized the constant comparisons, others praised Regina Daniels for her resilience and commitment to her marriage despite the negative comments she often faces.
