Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels, has said it was a big flex keeping her virginity till her marriage to Nigerian politician, Ned Nwoko.

The movie star stated this while addressing the controversy surrounding her recent statement about having 20 boyfriends before marrying Ned.

Regina, during an Instagram live session, revealed that she had multiple suitors and 20 boyfriends for different purposes before meeting her husband.

She said, “When I started with my husband, I forgot I was supposed to have a boyfriend.

“Then I had like 20 boyfriends, each for different purposes. So when people think I did not have a choice or think my mum forced me to marry my husband.”

However, in a post via her Instagram page on Wednesday, Regina Daniels clarified that the comment was intended to reassure her husband and empower young girls.

She also emphasized that having multiple male friends willing to help does not obligate women to compromise their values, adding she had many admirers before marriage but kept her virginity till marriage.

She said, “Hey everyone I want to clarify the 20 boyfriend ish solely to soothe my husband and also educate young girls that having several male/boy friends willing to do things for you doesn’t mean you owe them your body.

“And oh yes. I did have a lot but I made a promise to keep my virginity till my marriage. And guess what? I did!!!. It’s a big flex 💪

“But hold on ! What did you guys expect na ? It was your little beautiful sweetheart, Regina Daniels of course men and ladies would admire. So everyone chill pls.”
