Following the rumours, Chika Ike has come out to firmly deny any connection between her unborn child and Ned Nwoko
Sharing a new set of baby bump photos, the Nollywood star addressed the speculation that has been circulating in media circles saying:
"There have been all sorts of lies paddled about me in the media for years but I always treated them like what they are, RUMOURS THAT NEEDED NO RESPONSE.
"But this is different, this is about my CHILD…. You all do not know anything about me! Because you CAN’T! Except I choose to disclose. Yes, I’m that PRIVATE!
"Ned isn’t the Father of my child and whoever name you might come up with later with your guessing games and like I’ve said before I’m not about to be anyone’s 7th wife! Polygamy isn’t for me.
She indicated that those mentioning Nwoko's name were clueless because they knew nothing about her pregnancy before she announced it.
"I’ve been pregnant for months now and no one even had a clue about my pregnancy until I announced it and you all think you’ll know who the father of my child is or anything happening in my life? Very laughable and Clueless!"
Left to her alone, Chika added that she would have left the rumour slide but has had to address it because it concerns her child.
"Keep digging and coming up with your false news. I don’t care about rumours because I understand it comes with my career choice and the only reason I’m responding to this rumour is because this is about my child. My privacy is my peace and NO ONE can unsettle me. I’m basking in the euphoria of my pregnancy and that’s all that matters to me now."

"Ned is not the father of my child" sounds suspicious 😂😂😂😂. Ned is not your mate to call him like that unless you know each other somewhere. All the best for your boy, sis."
