Nollywood actress Regina Daniels faces backlash following her birthday tribute to her stepson, Amir Nwoko, who turned 18 on October 14. Just days after celebrating her own birthday, Regina shared heartfelt photos and a message expressing her pride in Amir’s growth into a “handsome, intelligent, compassionate, and humble young man.”
In her post, she wrote: “Watching you grow into a handsome, intelligent, compassionate and humble young man gladdens my heart.” However, this phrasing sparked controversy, with some fans questioning the appropriateness of her words given their age difference—Regina is 25 while Amir is now 18.
Critics pointed out the oddity of the statement, with one user commenting, “Watching him grow? 22 yrs and 18 yrs no be age grade?” Others defended Regina, noting that she has been married for five years, implying that her relationship with Amir began when he was just 13.
Despite the mixed reactions, Regina’s tribute highlighted her affection for Amir, celebrating their bond on his milestone birthday.
