As Christians around the world mark the Christmas celebration today, Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has taken a moment to reflect on motherhood and her children.

The actress and mother of two shared a series of throwback Christmas photos on her Instagram page, featuring herself and her children dressed in matching green pyjamas.

Though she acknowledged that the pictures were taken some time ago, Regina described them as timeless and deeply meaningful to her.

In an emotional caption, she noted that despite her active social life and public image, her children remain permanently close to her heart.

She wrote: “Old? Maybe. Golden? Always in my heart. Merry Christmas everyone. Love, Mama MK.”

Her post comes amid an ongoing and highly publicized family dispute. About a week ago, Regina had publicly called out her husband, politician Ned Nwoko, accusing him of deliberately cutting her off from her children. She claimed she had not spoken to them since mid-November, alleging that he dismissed all her nannies, pressured them into making false statements, and filed for full custody of the children, despite already having them in his care.

In a follow-up post at the time, Regina shared screenshots of a conversation with one of her children’s nannies, who reportedly told her she had resigned because Nwoko was allegedly taking out frustrations from marital issues on the staff. Regina expressed sadness over being unable to care for her child, Moon, following these developments.

Responding to the allegations, Ned Nwoko dismissed Regina’s claims, describing them as misleading and inconsistent with their family’s long-standing practices. He stated that sharing photos and videos of their children had always been normal within the family and pointed out that Regina herself had publicly posted the children for years without raising privacy concerns. According to him, her absence from the children’s lives was a personal decision rather than a restriction imposed on her.
