After speculation on social media, Nollywood actress Chika Ike has spoken out against swirling rumors suggesting that billionaire politician Ned Nwoko fathered her child and that she is set to become his seventh wife.
The controversy escalated after Chika Ike shared baby bump photos, sparking gossip that she had secretly welcomed a child with Nwoko. The speculation gained momentum after Regina Daniels, Nwoko’s wife, deactivated her Instagram account, fueling more conspiracy theories about alleged marital troubles.
In response, Ned Nwoko released a statement dismissing the claims, but the whispers persisted—until now.
“Ned Isn’t the Father, and I’m Not Becoming Anyone’s 7th Wife”
Breaking her silence, Chika Ike took to Instagram to set the record straight. In a fiery statement, she made it clear that she is not in any way romantically involved with Ned Nwoko and is not interested in polygamy.
“Endlessly blessed, forever grateful… A MUST READ!!!! FALSE! FALSE! FALSE!
“There have been all sorts of lies peddled about me in the media for years, but I always treated them like what they are – RUMOURS THAT NEEDED NO RESPONSE.
“But this is different, this is about my CHILD… You all do not know anything about me! Because you CAN’T! Except I choose to disclose. Yes, I’m that PRIVATE!
“Ned isn’t the father of my child, and whoever’s name you might come up with later in your guessing games… Like I’ve said before, I’m not about to be anyone’s 7th wife! Polygamy isn’t for me.
“I’ve been pregnant for months now, and no one even had a clue until I announced it. And you all think you’ll know who the father of my child is or anything happening in my life? Very laughable and clueless!
“Keep digging and coming up with your false news. I don’t care about rumors because I understand it comes with my career choice, and the only reason I’m responding to this rumor is because this is about my child.
“My privacy is my peace, and NO ONE can unsettle me. I’m basking in the euphoria of my pregnancy, and that’s all that matters to me now.”
