Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has explained why she never filed for divorce from her estranged partner, Senator Ned Nwoko, clarifying that no legal marriage existed between them.

In an Instagram post, the mother of two revealed that no court documents were ever signed, making it impossible to formally seek a divorce despite her desire to end the relationship.

Daniels stated that she had invested her prime years, energy, and career opportunities into the relationship but now seeks complete freedom from any control. She emphasized that love and marriage cannot be forced, insisting that her choice to move on should be respected.

She wrote:

“Let me make this very clear: no matter how much you think you spent on me, it can never equal the value of the time I gave you, my prime years, my energy, and the career opportunities I sacrificed while being with you.
And for the record, I would have filed for divorce long ago if there was ever a legal marriage between us. We were never married in any court of law, and no documents were signed. Leave me alone, Ned. Marriage is not by force. Love is not by force. Stop trying to control what no longer belongs to you!”

Her post comes amid ongoing disputes with Nwoko, as she continues to assert her independence and reclaim her personal and professional autonomy.
