Nollywood actress Sharon Ooja Egwurube, who recently tied the knot with her husband Ugo Nwoke in a traditional ceremony in Abuja, has shared her inspiring love story.
Sharon Ooja disclosed in a recent interview with BellaNaija that she was still getting over a past breakup when she met her husband. Though Sharon was not interested at first, her sister was instrumental in introducing her to Ugo. She did, however, finally consent to give Ugo a chance as a result of his insistence.
Sharon described her love story as “a miracle” and expressed gratitude for finding love again after a difficult time.
She said:
“My love story is one that I would say is sort of a miracle. I had just recovered from what I considered the worst heartbreak of my life. I was filming and my sister called that a friend of hers wanted to speak with me. I said, ‘Please, I’m not in the mood. I don’t want to talk to anybody.”
“However, she went ahead and gave him my number and he is really, really smart. I was like, ‘Who is this person?’ I didn’t speak as much as we should have. Months passed, he kept on trying to reach out to me. I was like, ‘This guy is persistent.’
“We kept on having cute conversations. It was just one conversation that struck me. We spoke for about three hours. And I was like, ‘I think I like this guy.’ And then I travelled and I realised that he hadn’t called me for two days and then I said, ‘Why didn’t you call me?’ He was like, ‘Well, it seemed like you told me that you were gonna go out and have fun.’ I was like, ‘Yeah. I don’t think I want to be single no more.’
“The rest is history. We dated for two and half months and then I was engaged in the third month. And we married two months after that.”
Sharon and Ugo’s love story culminated in a beautiful traditional ceremony in Abuja, where they celebrated their union surrounded by family and friends. The ceremony was a vibrant and joyous occasion, reflecting the deep love and connection the couple shared. It was a testament to their journey, from heartbreak to finding true love, and the resilience that brought them together.

It was a beautiful blend of tradition and modernity, symbolizing their commitment to honoring their roots while embracing the future together.
