Nollywood actress Sharon Ooja has announced the arrival of her first child with her husband, Ugo Nwoke.
The 35-year-old actress shared the exciting news on her Instagram page on Wednesday, revealing that the couple had welcomed a baby boy. The announcement came as a surprise to many fans and followers, as Sharon had successfully kept her pregnancy away from the public eye for several months.
Accompanying the announcement were maternity photographs featuring the actress and her husband during a pregnancy photoshoot, offering fans a glimpse into the private journey they had kept away from social media.
In an emotional message shared alongside the photos, Sharon described becoming a mother as the fulfilment of a lifelong dream. She also reflected on how her pregnancy experience gave her a deeper understanding of God’s unconditional love.
According to the actress, motherhood has ushered her into one of the most beautiful phases of her life, adding that carrying her child helped her appreciate love in a way words cannot fully express.
She also disclosed that her son’s initials are “W.I.N,” expressing joy and gratitude over officially becoming a mother.
Sharon wrote that their lives have changed forever and excitedly embraced her new identity as a mum, saying she had always dreamed of experiencing motherhood and was grateful that the dream had finally become a reality.
The actress also used the opportunity to appreciate her husband for standing by her throughout the pregnancy journey. She described him as her pillar of strength and thanked him for his unwavering support during the past nine months.
Sharon praised him for his prayers, reassurance, emotional support, care, and the countless ways he stood beside her throughout the journey. She noted that both she, their newborn son, W.I.N, and Zoey are fortunate to have him in their lives.
She further expressed appreciation to her family members and close friends for helping her maintain privacy during the special season of her life.
Following the announcement, colleagues within the entertainment industry, friends, and fans flooded her comment section with congratulatory messages and prayers for the newborn.
The birth of their son comes less than two years after Sharon and Ugo held their highly publicised wedding ceremonies in 2024. The couple had both traditional and white weddings in Abuja and Lagos, ceremonies that attracted widespread attention and dominated conversations across social media platforms.
Their wedding was among the most talked-about celebrity unions of 2024 and also generated discussions surrounding Nwoke’s previous relationships. Despite the controversies at the time, Sharon remained focused on celebrating her union and continued sharing memorable moments from the ceremonies on social media.
In an earlier interview with Bella Naija Weddings, Sharon revealed that their relationship moved quickly, disclosing that they dated for only two and a half months before becoming engaged in the third month of their relationship.
