He further described their relationship as one built on understanding and respect, rooted in the traditional values he was raised with.

How They Met

Ned revealed that his first meeting with Regina happened when she visited his home in Delta State with her mother and siblings.

According to him, he had never heard of her or watched any of her movies before that encounter.

Shortly after their meeting, he decided to marry her.

A Polygamous Tradition

The Delta North senator also mentioned in the interview that all his marriages happened quickly and that he doesn’t rule out the possibility of marrying more wives.

“Whether I marry another wife or not, she knows it can happen. I come from a very polygamous background. I love children, so I want more,” he said.

Ongoing Marital Drama

The resurfaced video comes at a time when social media is buzzing with reports of a rift between the couple.

Regina recently accused Nwoko of physical assault, while he fired back, alleging that she was addicted to drugs and had damaged his property under the influence.
