- Sharon Ooja describes her love story as "short of a miracle"
- She met her husband, Ugo Nwoke, through her sister after a bad heartbreak
- They dated for just 2.5 months before getting engaged and married two months later
Nollywood actress Sharon Ooja has opened up about her whirlwind romance with her husband, Ugo Nwoke, describing their love story as “short of a miracle”.
In an interview with Bella Naija, published on Thursday, Ooja revealed that her sister introduced her to Nwoke while she was recovering from a devastating heartbreak. Despite initial reservations, the pair connected deeply and their romance blossomed.
“My love story is one that I’ll say is short of a miracle,” Ooja said. “I had just recovered from what I considered the worst heartbreak of my life… and my sister had said to me a friend of hers wanted to speak to me.”
Ooja recalled how Nwoke persisted in reaching out to her, eventually winning her over with their three-hour conversation. “I travelled and realised 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 want you to be single no more.”
The actress revealed that they dated for just two-and-a-half months before Nwoke proposed, and they tied the knot two months later. The couple is currently celebrating their traditional wedding in Abuja.
