Big Brother Naija star Pere Egbi has defended Ugo Nwoke, the husband of Nollywood actress Sharon Ooja, against recent allegations.
Reports surfaced a day before Sharon’s white wedding, claiming Ugo was her fourth husband and had three children from previous marriages.
Netizens quickly found evidence of his past marriage and divorce in 2019, leading many to criticize Ugo for allegedly having multiple marriages within five years.
Reacting to the controversy, Pere stated that Ugo Nwoke has only been married once. “Her husband’s cousin is my really good friend in Dallas. It’s funny how people read things, and because they are gullible, they believe it. And how blogs are just so focused on negative things to carry any kind of story amazes me. They don’t care about the authenticity; they just carry it. Her husband’s cousin confirmed the same thing to me. Married once. And there’s nothing wrong with being married once.”
A social media user claiming to be a friend of Sharon’s husband has also come forth to defend Ugo and the allegations made against him of serial marriage.
Despite the rumors, Sharon Ooja went ahead with her wedding and expressed her love for Ugo on Instagram, calling him her dream man and a gift from God. She also prayed for their marriage.
Sharon’s best friend, Bisola Aiyeola, criticized the blog for spreading false information and stated that the blogger couldn’t disrupt Sharon’s peace.
Nina Ivy, another Big Brother Naija star, defended Sharon by saying that people can marry multiple times before finding peace. She emphasized that Sharon and Ugo seemed happy together and that he was single before marrying Sharon.
Actress Tonto Dikeh also supported Sharon, describing her as a gorgeous and unproblematic bride. “Anyone who knows Sharon will want to pray for her every day,” she said.
