Who Is Sharon Ooja’s Husband? Ugo Nwoke’s Age & Job

Nigerian actress Sharon Ooja has garnered widespread popularity for portraying Shalewa in the Ndani TV series Skinny Girl in Transit. Accordingly, there is considerable interest in her personal life, which she now shares with her husband, Ugo Nwoke.

Here is everything you need to know about Sharon Ooja’s husband, his age, and his job.

Who is Sharon Ooja married to?

Sharon Ooja is married to Ugo Nwoke.

The couple met through Ooja’s sister, who is a friend of Nwoke. They dated for two and a half months before becoming engaged. Ooja and Nwoke had a civil wedding in March 2024, and a traditional one on June 27, 2024. Several celebrities from Nollywood and beyond — including Shaffy Bello, Funke Akindele, Nancy Isime, Real Warri Pikin, and Ini Dima-Okojie — attended the event.

After the traditional wedding, Ooja shared videos and photos of Nwoke on Instagram, revealing her husband’s identity for the first time to the world. According to Ooja, she had a religious experience while filming in a desert and knew she had finally met her husband.

“When filming in the desert, I talked with God about settling down,” the actress said in an interview. “I felt 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 saying to me that my husband had come,” she added.

Ooja continued, “That’s all I remember. Now I understand what people mean when they say that when you meet the right person, you know. He’s my person, and I’m genuinely grateful to God for him.” (via Premium Times)

What is Ugo Nwoke’s age and job?

There are contradictory claims about Ugo Nwoke’s age and job. One set of reports claims that he was born on August 20, 1985, which makes him 38 years old, as of June 2024. According to these reports, Ugo S. Nwoke is the Founder, CEO, and Co-Chief Technology Officer of Avotronics Powertrain Inc. However, this doesn’t seem to be the case as an individual with a similar profile is on LinkedIn, and he looks nothing like Ooja’s husband.

Other reports state that Nwoke is a billionaire. Additionally, blogger Stella Dimorkokorkus claims that Nwoke, an Imo state resident, is in his 50s and has three former wives and at least three children. However, actress Bisola Aiyeola, Ooja’s friend and the chief bridesmaid at their wedding, has vehemently refuted these claims. (via Gistlover)
