Chika Ike Breaks Silence on Ned Nwoko Paternity Rumors, Says Polygamy Isn’t for Her
Nigerian actress and filmmaker Chika Ike has firmly dismissed recent social media rumors linking her newborn child to politician and serial polygamist, Ned Nwoko. Taking to her Instagram page on Tuesday, February 18, 2025, the 39-year-old movie star set the record straight, stating unequivocally that she is not about to become Nwoko’s seventh wife.
The speculation began after whispers spread online suggesting that the billionaire businessman was the father of Ike’s baby. However, the former model made it clear that she had never felt the need to respond to rumors in the past but had to address this particular claim because it directly involves her child.
Chika Ike Sets the Record Straight
In a passionate Instagram post, the actress expressed gratitude for her blessings while debunking the rumors:
“Endlessly blessed, forever grateful…❤️🙏 A MUST READ !!!! FALSE! FALSE! FALSE! There have been all sorts of lies peddled about me in the media for years but I always treated them like what they are, RUMOURS THAT NEEDED NO RESPONSE. But this is different, this is about my CHILD… You all do not know anything about me! Because you CAN’T! Except I choose to disclose. Yes, I’m that PRIVATE!”
Chika Ike Dismisses Links to Ned Nwoko
Continuing her post, Ike made it clear that Nwoko is not the father of her child and reiterated her stance against polygamy:
“Ned isn’t the father of my child and whoever name you might come up with later with your guessing games… and like I’ve said before, I’m not about to be anyone’s 7th wife! Polygamy isn’t for me. I’ve been pregnant for months now, and no one even had a clue about my pregnancy until I announced it, and you all think you’ll know who the father of my child is or anything happening in my life? Very laughable and clueless!”
Chika Ike Stands Firm on Her Privacy
The actress concluded by reinforcing her commitment to privacy, making it clear that no amount of rumors would disrupt her peace:
“Keep digging and coming up with your false news. I don’t care about rumors because I understand it comes with my career choice, and the only reason I’m responding to this rumor is because this is about my child. My privacy is my peace, and NO ONE can unsettle me. I’m basking in the euphoria of my pregnancy, and that’s all that matters to me now.”
Public Reactions and Clarifications
This is not the first time Chika Ike has been linked to Ned Nwoko in public discourse. However, both parties have repeatedly denied any romantic involvement. In 2020, similar rumors circulated, prompting an official statement from Ike’s team dismissing the claims.
With this firm response, Ike has once again made it clear that she values her privacy and is determined to shield her child from unnecessary media speculation. Fans and industry colleagues have since flooded her comment section with messages of support, commending her for standing her ground.
While the actress continues to embrace motherhood, it’s evident that she remains unshaken by rumors, choosing instead to focus on the joy of welcoming her child into the world.
