Nigerian actress Chika Ike has addressed rumors suggesting she was pregnant for her colleague Regina Daniels' husband, Ned Nwoko.

The Nigerian Voice recalls that Regina Daniels recently deactivated her Instagram account. Reports had speculated that Chika Ike, who recently shared maternity photos announcing her second pregnancy, had allegedly welcomed a child for Ned Nwoko. It was also rumored that Chika Ike might be poised to take Regina's place in Ned's mansion.

Addressing the rumors via her Instagram page, Chika Ike clarified that Ned is not the father of her child. She emphasized that false stories about her have circulated in the media for years, but she has always treated them as baseless rumors.

However, she noted that she has been pregnant for months, a fact that was unknown to the public until she decided to announce it.

Chika Ike wrote on Instagram:
"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 were: 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,e, 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. Do 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 that 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."
