I’m ready to date again, says Regina Chukwu years after husband’s death
Regina Chukwu, the Nollywood actress, says she is ready to date again many years after her husband’s death.
The film star spoke about her desire to get into a new relationship in an Instagram post on Tuesday.
Chukwu, who lost her husband nearly two decades ago, said she is single and searching.
“I am a very beautiful lady that is single and searching indicate interest in the comment section,” the post read.
On April 5, Regina had narrated how being a widow at a young age devasted her.
According to the actress, losing her husband and taking care of her two children alone has not been an easy task.
“When I had to take my sick husband back to the village as I have exhausted all avenues possible to see that his health improves, so I decided to take him back to his parents so we could all know what next to do,” she had said.
“I left Amaka with my parents back here in Lagos and went with the little baby I just had.
“After some months their father eventually died and I was shattered, turning a widow at that young age wasn’t something I had bargained for.
“It was indeed the most confused, painful, devastating, excruciating time of my life. I didn’t even know what to feel or do. Now as the customs of the land demand my children had to be present.
“I had one with me, so my mum brought Chiamaka who was just 2yr old then.
“I said to myself ‘how I go take do am now?’ In my 20’s with 2 kids? I was sitting down there with zero Naira balance.
“We had spent everything we had trying to save their father’s life, not even a good piece of cloth to my name.”
Chukwu has acted in several films such as ‘Akun’, ‘Awolu at Awalu’, ‘Ewatomi’, ‘Idaho’, and ‘Ogunso’.
She lost her husband four years after the start of their marriage.
She is a single mother of two children.

Fashion editor and podcaster Chioma Nnadi has been named as the new head of editorial content at British Vogue, becoming the first black female head of the industry-leading fashion publication.
The 44-year-old is set to succeed Edward Enninful as the editor of British Vogue but her title will be Head of Editorial Content, unlike previous editors who were described as Editor-in-Chief.
Nnadi posted on Instagram: “I’m so thrilled to announce that I’m the new head of editorial content for @britishvogue. Huge thanks to Anna Wintour, @edward_enninful, and Roger Lynch for giving me this opportunity.
“I’m truly honoured and so excited to be coming home. Stay tuned!”
As editor of New York-based Vogue.com, with recent cover stories have featured stars such as Rihanna, Cara Delevingne and Erykah Badu, Nnadi spent 13 years as a writer and news director for Vogue, and also co-hosts the publication’s podcast, The Run-Through.
“As someone who was born and raised in London, the energy of the city — its boundary-pushing style and creative scene — has shaped the way I look at the world,” Nnadi said in a statement on Monday, in the middle of London Fashion Week.
“Now, more than ever, it feels like a moment to look beyond borders while also celebrating the broad scope of what it means to be British,” she added of her return to her hometown.
“I’m looking forward to engaging a loyal and inspired digital community that is energised by our access, point of view, and storytelling.”
Anna Wintour, Vogue’s chief content officer and global editorial director, who inspired Meryl Streep’s character in the film The Devil Wears Prada, said Nnadi was “beloved among her colleagues” and “an editor and writer with an impeccable reputation — both here and in the fashion industry at large”.
Enninful will remain as an editorial adviser to the UK title but move into a newly-created job next year aimed at growing the brand globally.
Born to a Nigerian father and Swiss-German mother, Nnadi worked at magazines Trace and The Fader as well as Evening Standard’s features desk before joining Vogue in 2010.
Her new job will commence from October 9.
All roads led to The Podium events place in Lekki, Lagos, on the night of Friday August 25th when the cream de la cream in the movies and media industry trooped out to celebrate one of their own.
It was the 40th anniversary of the gentleman that family and friends call Muyiwa but whom the generality of the creative and technical stakeholders in Nollywood simply cherish as Moses Babatope.
It’s impossible not to acknowledge the immense contribution of this suave, debonair and business savvy gentleman in Nigerian cinema since he returned to the country from the United Kingdom where he was was educated in Banking and Finance for his first degree and International Finance for his Master’s.
Several friends, colleagues abd well-wishers spoke glowingly of his passion for the industry, his humility and generosity, since his days as a young film buff that assisted in getting many Nollywood films screened at Odeon Cinena, in Surrey Quays, London.
They also applaud his exemplary career as co-helmsman at FilmOne/FilmHouse/Imax group.
The birthday dinner was sumptuous. The documentary clip about the celebrant was revealing. Music was awesome and the afterparty was as classy as it was sassy.
