Actress Regina Daniels revealed that she has emotionally stepped away from marriage but still hopes to have a daughter.

Speaking during a livestream with TikTok personality Jarvis, Daniels reflected on motherhood and relationships.

She revealed she has not seen her children since last year, though she remains hopeful they will reunite soon.

The mother of two explained that for personal reasons, she no longer envisions remarrying.

However, she expressed a strong desire to have a baby girl. According to her, raising a daughter offers a deeper connection to motherhood.

Daniels said having a female child brings a different and more profound understanding of being a mother.

“The last time I saw my children was last year. I know one day, I’ll see them again, very soon. But for some reason I have checked my mind out of getting married but I’m yet to have a girl and I must have a girl child. I feel like you’d understand motherhood better when you have a girl child”, she said.

In October last year, she parted ways with her husband, Ned Nwoko, following a public disagreement.
