I Won’t Be Anyone’s 7th Wife as I Don’t Believe in Polygamy

Nollywood actress Chika Ike has firmly addressed rumors linking billionaire Ned Nwoko to her pregnancy, calling the speculation completely false and unfounded. This comes after a flurry of gossip began circulating online following Ike’s recent announcement of her pregnancy, which she shared through maternity photos posted on her social media platforms. The rumors gained even more traction when actress Regina Daniels, Nwoko’s wife, reportedly deactivated her Instagram account, further fueling online speculation about the situation.

On Tuesday, Ike took to Instagram to set the record straight, expressing frustration over the constant scrutiny of her private life. She acknowledged that she had chosen to remain silent in the past, as she has often dealt with rumors and gossip surrounding her, but made it clear that the situation was different this time due to the involvement of her child. Ike strongly denied any involvement of Nwoko in her pregnancy, explicitly stating that he is not the father. She also made it clear that she has no intention of becoming anyone’s seventh wife, underscoring her personal beliefs about polygamy and her refusal to participate in such relationships.

In a detailed post, Ike began by expressing her gratitude and joy over her pregnancy, saying, “Endlessly blessed, forever grateful…❤️🙏.” She then addressed the rumors directly, labeling them as false, writing, “A MUST READ !!!! FALSE! FALSE! FALSE!” Ike emphasized that this was not the first time she had been the subject of false rumors, but that she had always chosen to ignore them in the past. “There have been all sorts of lies paddled about me in the media for years, but I always treated them like what they are, RUMORS THAT NEEDED NO RESPONSE,” she stated.

However, she explained that this time was different. “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!” Ike made it clear that no one knows the true details of her personal life unless she decides to share them, reaffirming her commitment to keeping her life private.

The actress then turned her attention to the ongoing speculation surrounding Ned Nwoko, stating with confidence, “Ned isn’t the father of my child,” and further addressed the online guessing game, where people have speculated about the identity of the father. “And whoever name you might come up with later with your guessing games, like I’ve said before, I’m not about to be anyone’s 7th wife! Polygamy isn’t for me,” she wrote, firmly rejecting any association with polygamous relationships.

Ike went on to point out the absurdity of the situation, noting that she had been pregnant for several months without the public catching on, and that her pregnancy only became known when she chose to announce it. “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!” she said, dismissing the ongoing speculation as ridiculous.

In closing, Ike expressed that while she understands that rumors are a part of being in the public eye, she was responding to this particular gossip because it involved her child. She made it clear that she would not tolerate the invasion of her privacy when it comes to matters related to her family. “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,” Ike stated. She emphasized that her privacy is something she values deeply and that no one could disturb her peace. “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,” she concluded, reaffirming her focus on the joy of expecting her child.

Through her post, Ike has not only refuted the unfounded rumors but also made it clear that she intends to protect her personal life and that of her child, and that no amount of speculation will shake her resolve.
