Nollywood actress, Sharon Ooja, the latest celebrity bride, tied the knot with Ugo Nwokeji in a traditional wedding ceremony in Abuja today, attended by many celebrities.
The internet is buzzing with excitement over the news. When asked about how she met her husband, Sharon shared her touching love story.
Sharon said, “Well, my love story is one that I’ll say is sort of a miracle. I think I’ll just go straight to the good part because I would say I had just recovered from what I considered the worst heartbreak of my life. And I was filming, and my sister had said to me, ‘Oh, a friend of hers wanted to speak to me.’ And I was like, ‘I’m not really in the mood, don’t talk to anybody.’ Anyway, she gives this person my number and he is really, really smart. I’m like, ‘Who is this person?’ You know? Looks like sister’s little best. And we probably didn’t speak as much as we should have. Months passed and we kept on trying to reach out. I was like, ‘This guy is persistent.’ Because of having really cute conversations and one day, we had one conversation that struck me. We spoke for like maybe three hours. I’m not joking. It was one of those conversations. And I was like, ‘I think I like this guy.'”
She continued, “And then I traveled. I realized he hadn’t called me for like two days one time. And I was like, ‘Why didn’t you call me?’ And he was like, ‘Well, you told me you were going to go out and have fun.’ And I was like, ‘Oh yeah, I see.’ And he was like, ‘Well, I don’t think I want you to see no more.’ And I was like, ‘Ooh!’ And honestly, the rest is history. We dated for literally two and a half months and I was engaged on the third month. Wow, amazing. And we married two months after that. When you know, you know.”
Sharon also shared a spiritual aspect of her story, saying, “But to give you some back story spiritually, when I was filming in the desert, I had had a conversation with God where I had spoken to God about settling down. And I feel like the Holy Spirit was stripping me of all the pain I had been through in my past. And all I knew was the Holy Spirit kept on saying to me that ‘your husband has come.’ That’s all I remember. And I just didn’t know how. But obviously, when I met him, I knew that he was the one. There was so much peace. He is my best friend. He’s the most amazing man I have truly met. Now I understand what people say when they say, ‘when you meet the person you just know.’ He’s my person. And I’m genuinely grateful to God for him. Life partner for life.”
A few months back, when Sharon announced her engagement and civil wedding, she faced backlash for not revealing her husband’s face. Sharon was trolled online and expressed her shock at people’s nosiness about her husband’s identity.
Sharon Ooja isn’t the first actress to hide her husband’s identity; actress Ruth Kadiri also keeps her husband’s face hidden from the public.
Earlier today, Sharon shared a post revealing her husband’s face, and the couple in traditional outfits.
However, there is limited information available about his specific occupation or background.
