By Doris IsraNollywood actress Sharon Ooja tied the knot with her partner, Ugo Nwoke, in a traditional wedding ceremony held in Abuja on Thursday.
The actress shared moments from the event on her Instagram page, unveiling the face of her lover to her followers for the first time.
She expressed her joy, stating, “Introducing the King of my heart, my absolute King!”
The wedding was attended by several celebrities, including Nollywood stars Funke Akindele, Bisola Aiyeola, and Jemima Osunde. Big Brother Naija host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu and renowned Nigerian chef Hilda Bassey were also among the guests.
In 2022, Ooja had mentioned her decision to keep her relationship private, believing there was no need for public validation.
In an interview with Bella Naija, Ooja revealed that she dated for two and a half months before her husband proposed to her.
She said, “My love story is one that I’ll say is short of a miracle. 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 a friend of hers wanted to speak to me and I was like I wasn’t in the mood.
“I didn’t want to talk to anybody. Anyway, she gives this person my number and he is really smart. I was like, who is this person, and we probably didn’t speak as much as we should.
“Months passed he kept on trying to reach me, and I was like, this guy is really persistent. We kept on having really cute conversations, and one day, there was just one conversation that struck me. We spoke for about three hours. I was like I think I like this guy.
“I travelled and realised that he hadn’t called me in like two days, I was like why didn’t you call me, and he was like you told me you were going to go out and have fun and I was like yeah, I’m single and he was like I didn’t I want you to be single no more.
“We dated for literally two-and-a-half months, and I was engaged in the third month. And we married two months after there.”
