Nollywood actress Sharon Ooja has shared the touching story of how she met her husband, Ugo Nwoke, describing their whirlwind romance as a miracle.
In a recent interview with Bella Naija during her traditional wedding on June 27, 2024, Ooja revealed that she met Nwoke after going through a difficult breakup with a previous partner.
Reflecting on their journey, she said, “My love story is nothing short of miraculous. I had just endured the worst heartbreak of my life and was busy filming when my sister mentioned that a friend of hers wanted to talk to me. At the time, I wasn’t in the mood for it.”
Despite her initial reluctance, her sister gave her number to Ugo. Sharon soon discovered that he was remarkably persistent and intelligent.

Sharon said, “I didn’t want to talk to anybody. Anyway, she gives this person my number, and he is really smart. I was like, ‘Who is this person, and we probably didn’t speak as much as we should.”
After a lengthy conversation with Ugo one day, she gradually realized that she had developed feelings for him.
“Months passed and he kept on trying to reach me, and I was like, this guy is really persistent. We kept on having really cute conversations, and one day, there was just one conversation that struck me. We spoke for about three hours. I was like ‘I think I like this guy,'” she added.
“I travelled and realized that he hadn’t called me in like two days. I was like ‘Why didn’t you call me?’ and he was like ‘You told me you were going to go out and have fun’ and ‘I was like yeah, I’m single’ and he was like ‘I didn’t I want you to be single no more’. We dated for literally two and a half months, and I was engaged in the third month. And we married two months after there,” she concluded.
