With Ike being a well-known public figure, it didn’t take long for rumors to start flying. The biggest question on everyone’s mind? Who is the father of her child?
The actress has always been private about her personal life, never one to flaunt relationships or share details about her love life. This time was no different. But that didn’t stop people from speculating.
Some fans were convinced that her baby’s father was a mystery businessman, while others went straight for the most controversial theory—that she was involved with a powerful Nigerian senator famous for his polygamous lifestyle and currently married to another actress, Regina Daniels.
The chatter grew louder, and soon enough, blogs and gossip pages were buzzing with different versions of the story.
After weeks of speculation, Chika finally decided to address the rumors head-on.
She posted another set of maternity photos, this time rocking a white cropped top that put her baby bump on full display. But it was her caption that really got people talking.
“FALSE! FALSE! FALSE!”
That was her response to the wild stories making the rounds. She made it clear that while she usually ignores gossip, this time she had to speak up—because this wasn’t just about her anymore. It was about her child.
“There have been all sorts of lies peddled about me in the media for years, but I always treated them like what they are—RUMORS THAT NEEDED NO RESPONSE,” she wrote. “But this… this is about my child. And I will not let people rewrite my story.”
Then came the statement that shut it all down:
“Ned isn’t the father of my child.”
That was the end of that.
Her fans cheered her on, praising her for standing up for herself. Many pointed out that she didn’t owe anyone an explanation and applauded her for keeping her personal life exactly that—personal.
Despite all the noise, one thing is clear: Chika Ike is focused on what truly matters; her baby girl and her career.
Even while preparing for motherhood, she never stepped away from her passion for film making and acting. She has been busy behind the scenes, creating fresh content for her YouTube channel and the big screen, ensuring her fans stay entertained with exciting projects. Currently, she has a new movie, Cartel, set to hit cinemas on March 7th.
The filmmaker has handled her pregnancy and childbirth on her own terms. She has shown that a woman has every right to celebrate her happiness without having to answer to anyone.
Her little girl, her sunshine, has arrived, and with her, a brand-new adventure begins.
Whether she decides to share more about her motherhood journey or keep it private, one thing is certain; Chika Ike is thriving, and her baby girl is already surrounded by love.
And for fans, that’s all that matters.
Congratulations, Chika!
