Nollywood actress, Sharon Ooja Egwurube, has opened up about her heartwarming love story with her husband, Ugo Nwoke.
Speaking with BellaNaija at her wedding, Sharon shared how she met her husband after experiencing her “worst heartbreak. ”Sharon and Ugo celebrated their traditional wedding in Abuja on Thursday.
She explained how her sister introduced her to Ugo. Initially, Sharon was not interested, but Ugo’s persistence eventually won her over.
“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 traveled and I realized 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 anymore.’ 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.”
Sharon, known for keeping her personal life private, recently revealed her husband’s face for the first time. The actress had previously kept his identity hidden in photos shared online.
In a recent Instagram post, Sharon shared a video from their traditional wedding ceremony, accompanied by a heartfelt caption, “Introducing the King of my heart, my absolute King!!!! #loveunitesus24 #crazyaboutus24.”
