Nollywood actress Chika Ike has dismissed rumours linking billionaire Ned Nwoko to her pregnancy, labelling the speculation as false and baseless.
Rumours began circulating after Ike shared her pregnancy announcement through maternity photos on social media, with speculation growing further when actress Regina Daniels, who is married to Nwoko, reportedly deactivated her Instagram account.
Reacting to the claims on her Instagram page on Tuesday, Ike expressed frustration over the constant media scrutiny of her personal life but stated that she had previously chosen to ignore such rumours until now.
However, she denied any connection between Nwoko and her child, firmly stating that he is not the father. She also emphasized that she has no intention of becoming anyone’s seventh wife.
She wrote, “Endlessly blessed, forever grateful…❤️🙏
“A MUST READ !!!! FALSE! FALSE! FALSE!
“There have been all sorts of lies paddled 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 name you might come up with later with your guessing games and 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 about my pregnancy 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 rumours because I understand it comes with my career choice and the only reason I’m responding to this rumour 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.”
