Nollywood actress and recent bride, Sharon Ooja Egwurube, has shared the touching story of how she found love with her husband, Ugo Nwoke.
Sharon and Ugo celebrated their traditional wedding in Abuja on Thursday. In an interview with BellaNaija during the event, Sharon recounted how she met Ugo during a difficult time in her life.
Sharon explained that she was dealing with the aftermath of a severe heartbreak when her sister introduced her to Ugo. Initially, Sharon wasn’t interested in meeting anyone new and even told her sister she wasn’t in the mood to talk. Despite her reluctance, her sister gave Ugo Sharon’s phone number.
Sharon 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.’”
Ugo’s persistence began to change Sharon’s mind. She was intrigued by his intelligence and the fact that he kept reaching out to her, despite her initial disinterest. They started having meaningful conversations, which gradually drew Sharon closer to him.
Sharon recalled, “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.’”
Their connection deepened when Sharon realized she missed Ugo’s calls while she was traveling. She confronted him about it, leading to a significant turning point in their relationship. She admitted that this moment made her realize she no longer wanted to be single.
From that point on, their relationship progressed quickly. After dating for two and a half months, Ugo proposed, and they got married just two months later.
