- Speaking with BellaNaija, Sharon Ooja revealed that she met her husband after recovering from her worst heartbreak.
- She said one of her sisters introduced her to her husband, even though she wasn’t initially interested but later accepted his relationship proposal after he remained persistent.
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.
In a recent interview with BellaNaija, Sharon Ooja revealed that she met her husband at a time when she was still recovering from a previous heartbreak.
According to Sharon, her sister played a crucial role in introducing her to Ugo, but she wasn’t initially interested. However, after Ugo’s persistence, she eventually agreed to give him a chance.
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.”
