Regina didn’t hold back when describing what she was like as a young person. She admitted she was extremely stubborn and difficult to approach.
“I was so stubborn while growing up,” she confessed. “Nobody has ever toasted me before.”
In Nigerian slang, “toasting” means when someone tries to ask you out or show romantic interest. Regina was saying that no man dared to approach her romantically because of her tough personality.
She explained that she wasn’t just a little stubborn – she was so wild and rough that people were actually afraid of her.
“I was so stubborn to the extent that nobody could approach me because I was so crazy and razz,” she said.
In a deeply personal revelation, Regina shared that her late husband was the only man she had ever been with intimately.
“My husband was the one that disvirgin me,” she stated simply.
This means her husband was her first and only intimate partner. In a world where people often have multiple relationships, Regina’s story shows she only knew one man – the one who became her husband.
Regina clarified that while her childhood was tough, it wasn’t because her family was poor. Her parents could provide the basics.
“They don’t have money but they can afford to eat 3 square meals,” she explained.
The real problem was her own behavior. She was so stubborn and difficult that it made life hard for everyone around her.
“My growing up was hell and it wasn’t because our parents can’t provide for them, it was because I was so stubborn,” she admitted.
One of the most touching parts of Regina’s story was about her wedding night. After their traditional wedding ceremony, her husband made a confession that broke her heart.
“The night they did their traditional wedding, her husband confided in her that the only money he has with him was N11,000,” she shared.
Regina remembered crying heavily that night, worried about how they would begin their life together with so little money.
“I cried profusely that night, thinking of how they would start their lives,” she recalled.
The most heartbreaking part of Regina’s story is about losing her husband when their children were still very young.
“My last child was just 4 months when her husband (their father) died,” she revealed.
Even now, years later, talking about his death brings her to tears.
“Anytime I remember and tries to explain the story, I cry,” she said.
Regina revealed that her husband had been sick before he died. She wasn’t just worried about him surviving – she was worried about how the sickness had drained all their money.
“I wasn’t worried about my late husband’s survival, I was worried about the sickness that has eaten deep into his capital and hasn’t still left him,” she explained.
Despite her tough exterior, Regina found love with a man who saw past her stubborn nature. He was brave enough to approach her when no one else would. He married her even though he had very little money. And he gave her children before tragedy struck.
Her emotional interview with Biola Adebayo shows that beneath the successful actress and filmmaker is a woman who has experienced both deep love and devastating loss. Her honesty about her past helps fans understand that celebrities face the same struggles as everyone else – difficult childhoods, financial worries, and the pain of losing loved ones too soon.
