Senator Prince Ned Nwoko has broken his silence on wife Regina Daniels' health, issuing a heartfelt appeal to fans, bloggers and social media users to back off and allow the Nollywood actress space to heal. His statement, posted on 2 November 2026, follows widespread speculation about her noticeable weight loss and a wave of deeply disturbing content circulating online.

Nwoko acknowledged that Regina has been dealing with health struggles that the public may not fully appreciate, noting that she gave a glimpse of these challenges in a video she shared on her birthday. "Regina has been through a lot, more than many people may realise, and right now, what she needs most is love, support and the opportunity to recover," he wrote.

"Regina sees many of these posts, and they are deeply distressing. They do nothing to support her recovery; rather, they add to the burden she is already carrying.”

Nwoko confirmed that he and his team are actively documenting these publications and will hold those responsible to account through legal channels.

"There is a limit to what should be tolerated, and that limit has been reached," he added.
