Billionaire businessman and politician, Senator Ned Nwoko, has debunked fresh speculations that he is set to take Nollywood actress Chika Ike as his seventh wife. The senator also denied rumors that the actress is expecting his child.

The claims, which have been circulating on social media, resurfaced after past speculations in 2020 suggested a romantic link between Nwoko and Ike. At the time, the actress publicly denied any involvement with the politician, stating she had no intentions of becoming his wife.

Senator Nwoko, who is married to actress Regina Daniels, has often been the subject of public scrutiny regarding his marital life. However, he has consistently dismissed rumors about additional wives beyond his current marriage.

The latest speculation gained traction after unverified sources alleged that Chika Ike was pregnant with Nwoko’s child and that a wedding was imminent. However, the senator, through his media team, has categorically denied the claims, describing them as baseless fabrications intended to stir controversy.

While neither Ike nor Daniels has publicly reacted to the latest rumors, sources close to the family insist there is no truth to the claims.
