Videos from Regina Daniels’ annual Children’s Day celebration in Asaba have set social media alight after actor Somadina Adinma was spotted sitting beside the actress as schoolchildren performed.
The event, reportedly Regina’s first Children’s Day gathering since a lengthy break, featured colourful performances from primary and secondary pupils.
Clips circulating online show Somadina in attendance, seated next to Regina and watching the programme, prompting a flurry of comments by fans and gossip accounts about the nature of their relationship.
Somadina’s presence at the event comes amid heightened public interest in his connection to Regina.
He has been widely referred to online as the actress’ alleged ex-boyfriend and has recently been mentioned in conversations linked to Regina’s reported marital crisis with husband Senator Ned Nwoko.
The renewed attention followed the circulation of a distressing video that showed Regina visibly upset and being shielded by her brother from a group of men, Dailyeconomy reports.
In that clip, the actress was heard crying and alleging domestic abuse, a development that intensified online debate.
Somadina later posted on social media to note that he was trending on Elon Musk’s X and to complain that gossip blogs were dragging his name into the controversy.
Shortly after, he reshared on Facebook a movie he starred in with Regina Daniels titled The Emergency Husband — a move that many users seized on given the timing and the film’s title, leading to further speculation and reaction across platforms.
As conversation continues to grow online, neither Regina Daniels nor Senator Ned Nwoko has issued a detailed public statement addressing the allegations shown in the viral video.
Somadina’s supporters and critics remain vocal as clips from the Asaba event and the resurfaced film keep circulating on social media.
