Popular Nollywood actress Chika Ike has taken the internet by storm after unveiling pictures of her newborn child, months after swirling rumours of paternity involving a prominent Nigerian politician. The actress, who has maintained a relatively private profile regarding her pregnancy and delivery, finally gave fans a glimpse of her baby—igniting fresh buzz and mixed reactions online.
Clad in a stylish red two-piece outfit and carrying a multicolored designer handbag, the elegant Chika was photographed holding her baby during a recent outing. The photos, which she shared on Instagram, showed her cradling the child with its face turned away from the camera. However, what drew netizens’ attention was the noticeable fair skin and fine-textured hair of the baby, sparking conversations about the child’s racial identity.
“Mixed race?” many online users questioned as speculations reignited over the baby’s paternity, with some linking it back to earlier rumours involving Senator Ned Nwoko, husband of actress Regina Daniels.
Amid the chatter, comments poured in. One user, @vibezonne, wrote, “That is not her baby! This is just to divert attention from Pa Ned. Wise up people!”
Another, @justcallme\_kaffy, added, “Mixed or no mix, the important thing is that she’s now a mother. Case closed.”
Meanwhile, some users defended the actress, praising her for finally embracing motherhood. @angeloner4* commented, “Her baby will be so cute. Chika is already super fine and now mixed with white blood—mixed kids are the cutest!”
Speculations aside, others questioned the timeline of the baby’s age and appearance. @mzeeglam joked, “Na three months or four months baby be this? Okay ooo 😂😂😂.”
Adding to the drama, a resurfaced video and several blog posts reignited past rumours involving Ned Nwoko, with many claiming he fathered Chika’s child. However, in a swift response to the renewed claims, the billionaire senator released an official statement via his director of communications. The statement refuted all allegations linking him to Chika Ike romantically or biologically.
“There is no truth in the reports suggesting Senator Ned Nwoko fathered a child with Chika Ike. These stories are baseless and malicious,” the statement read.
Despite the denials, many netizens remain unconvinced, further fueling social media debates. While the actress has not directly responded to the paternity speculation, her confident display of her child speaks volumes.
Chika Ike, who began her acting career over two decades ago, is known for her elegant style, strong persona, and impressive roles in the Nigerian movie industry. At over 40, she has long been open about her desire for motherhood, and this recent development is seen by many fans as a celebratory milestone in her personal life.
Whether or not the child is mixed race or who the father truly is, fans agree on one thing—Chika Ike is now a proud mother, and the world is watching.
