Nollywood actress Regina Daniels faced criticism shortly after her birthday celebration for marking her stepson Amir Nwoko’s 18th birthday.
On Sunday, October 14, Regina shared heartwarming photos and videos of Amir, along with a heartfelt message to celebrate his milestone.
In her message, she expressed pride in seeing Amir grow into a “handsome, intelligent, compassionate, and humble young man.” She added, “Happy 18th birthday to my adorable big boy. Watching you grow into a handsome, intelligent, compassionate and humble young man fills my heart with joy. I pray God continues to protect you. Love you, son.”
While some fans praised her for her affectionate post, others questioned her wording, particularly the statement about “watching him grow,” given their close ages. Regina, 25, and Amir, 18, sparked reactions, with one user commenting, “Watching him grow? Isn’t 22 and 18 practically the same age?”
However, other fans defended her, pointing out that Regina has been married for five years and has witnessed Amir’s growth from 13 to 18.
