Regina Daniels while speaking about her marriage in a chat with OAP, Daddy Freeze said that her husband has barred her from cooking and she calls him ‘baby’ despite their age difference.

The actress also said her reason for not marrying someone from her age bracket is because she is quite a stubborn person and needed someone older than her to always put her in check.
