Nollywood actress, Sharon Ooja Egwurube has revealed how she met her husband, Ugo Nwoke, following their traditional wedding in Abuja.
In an interview with BellaNaija, Sharon Ooja said that her love story feels like a miracle, revealing that she met Ugo after recovering from her “worst heartbreak.”
The actress said after recovering from the heartbreak, her sister introduced her to Ugo Nwoke who was persistent in trying to reach out to her despite telling him that she wasn’t interested.
She said that Ugo’s persistence paid off after they had many conversations, stressing that one three-hour chat made her realize that she liked him.
Sharon said that after noticing his absence during a trip, she decided she no longer wanted to be single.
The actress revealed that they dated for two and a half months, got engaged in the third month, and married two months later.
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.”
