Regina Daniels Opens Up On Motherhood And Family Dreams

Nigerian actress Regina Daniels has spoken about her children with her estranged husband, Ned Nwoko. The Nollywood actress revealed the last time she saw them and also shared her desire to one day have a daughter.

Regina Daniels spoke during a conversation with TikTok creator Jarvis inside a car shortly after her Children’s Day carnival on May 27.

The actress revealed she had not seen her sons since last year but remained hopeful of reuniting with them soon.

Daniels also spoke about how much the boys had grown, mentioning their ages and small milestones that left her emotional.

She said:

“Yeah, of course I miss them. But I know I’ll see them soon, by God’s grace. Insha’Allah. I saw them last year. They’re so good. My first one will be 6 this year. My second will be 4. And now my boy, his teeth fell off.”

She further opened up about motherhood, saying she once did not want a daughter but has now changed her mind. She said marriage is no longer a priority for her, although she still strongly hopes to have a girl someday.

The mother of two said raising a daughter would give her a deeper understanding of motherhood and family life.

“But for some reason, I’ve checked my mind out of getting married. But I’m yet to have a girl, and I must have a girl. I feel like motherhood starts better. Like, you would understand motherhood when you have a girl child,” she said.

Regina Daniels also spoke about raising boys and girls, saying boys often look up to their fathers, while girls usually see their mothers as role models.

“It’s easy to raise boys than girls because at least you groom them into having a role model figure as a father. But for your girl child, you have to be that role model for them to emulate.”

The actress added that men often leave home to start their own families, but women rarely forget their homes and family roots.

“But men would grow, they’ll get married, they’ll start their family, and they’ll be very, very like firm on building a family. But women, you could just easily—they would always remember home, like always,” she concluded.
