I dated my husband for two months before he proposed, says Sharon Ooja
Sharon Ooja, the Nigerian actress, has revealed how she met Ugo Nwoke, her husband.
Ooja, who got married to her partner in an Abuja traditional ceremony on Thursday, shared how they met during a chat with Bella Naija.
She recounted how her sister introduced them shortly after she had gone through a severe heartbreak.
Ooja stated that she was initially hesitant but Ugo persistently tried to reach out to her.
She added that they got engaged within two and a half months and legally married two months later.
“My love story is one I will say is short of a miracle,” she said.
“I will say I had just recovered from what I consider the worst heartbreak of my life.
“I was filming, and my sister said to me, ‘Oh, a friend of mine wants to speak to you’.
“I was like, ‘Please, I’m not really in the mood. I do not want to talk to anybody’.”
“Anyways, she gave this person my number. We did not speak much. Months passed, and he kept on trying to reach me.
“We dated for two and a half months, and I was engaged in the third month. We married two months after that.”

Actress Ronke Odusanya narrates how her friend ruined her marriage with lies
Nollywood actress Ronke Odusanya has broken her silence on her marriage to Saheed Olarewaju, widely known as Jago, sharing inside details leading to their separation.
Speaking during an interview on Wasila Coded TV with hosts and fellow actress Bimpe Akintunde, Odusanya revealed that a friend had allegedly misled her ex-husband by spreading damaging rumors.
According to Odusanya, her friend had claimed that she intended to leave the marriage to pursue prostitution and had also accused her of an affair with a senator.
“A friend of mine told my partner that I wanted to leave him and go into prostitution. That I went to sleep in a Senator’s house with our daughter, Fife. My mouth was left open when he told me,” she shared.
Odusanya explained that these rumors deeply impacted her relationship with Jago.
However, she was able to provide evidence to disprove the allegations, sending her ex-partner a photo of her location and including a timestamped video.
“God gave me grace because I did a video recording of the time and date on my phone. I recorded it when we got to where we would sleep,” she said.
Reflecting on the difficult period, Ronke Odusanya admitted that she faced financial hardships following the split.
“When we left, I didn’t have up to N10,000 in my account, but I decided this was it. I had nothing; all my jewelry was taken away, and I fainted with that. I was wondering where to start from. I cried so much that day because I didn’t have money to get an accommodation,” she recounted.

Keke Palmer speaks on unhealthy relationship with ex Darius Jackson
Keke Palmer, the US actress, has opened up about her past relationship with Darius Jackson in her new memoir ‘Master of Me’.
The book, slated for release on November 19, offers an intimate look into Palmer’s life. It follows her debut book ‘I Don’t Belong to You’, which was released in 2017.
In excerpts shared with People Magazine, Palmer described her time with Jackson as one of “the hardest experiences I have faced”.
The strain, she said, was amplified by the pressures of new parenthood.
“Having a baby… not just with my romantic relationships, but with family and friends, it’s always become a burden. Too many voices get in. It can make everybody else not trust you. It’s hard to explain,” she wrote.
The actress described her connection with Jackson as “deeply spiritual”.
She also explained how they both struggled with loneliness and created a bond that ultimately led to their decision to have a son.
“It was like, not only is this the person, but this is the time. It felt very spiritual for Darius and I,” she said.
“We had separate lonelinesses, and we created a space for us to exist in that loneliness together. And then we wanted to have a son. Leo was very planned”.
Palmer said as the relationship progressed, “it got so out of control”. She added that she now feels a sense of peace and would never speak negatively about her ex for their son’s sake.
“I feel very at ease now knowing things are under control,” she added.
“I didn’t want my son to think his father is a monster, because I don’t.”
The couple’s relationship, which went public in 2021, became the subject of scrutiny in July 2023 when Jackson publicly criticised Palmer’s outfit at a concert by singer Usher.
Shortly after, the actress filed for a restraining order against Jackson, citing allegations of domestic violence and seeking sole custody of their son.

Foluke Daramola’s husband speaks on fathering child with another woman
Kayode Salako, the husband of Foluke Daramola, the actress, has opened up about the paternity of his child with another woman.
Kayode fathers a child named Murewa with Oluwafunke Oyegoke-Salako.
In a recent Facebook post, Salako clarified that Foluke was fully aware and supportive of his decision to have a child with Oluwafunke.
He said they have been married for over 13 years but have no biological children together. He also said his other children, now grown, live with their mother abroad.
“It took me 3 years of begging Foluke Daramola-Salako, my wife, to allow me have at least one, or two children here in Nigeria, for the security of my old age, since I am not impotent,” the post reads in part.
“I am already above 50, and I don’t want to be 70 years, and still continue to live alone, without children around me.
“I have been married and living with her for over 13 years now, but God has not given us our own love child yet. She saw reason with me after a while, and said you can go ahead.”
Salako also disclosed that the actress treats Murewa like her own son and maintains a cordial relationship with the boy’s mother while referring to them as “bosom sisters”.
“Murewa Omowonuola (Ayinde) Salako is the product of that understanding,” he added.
“Oluwafunke Oyegoke-Salako from Ogbomosho, is that woman Nigerian bloggers have been talking about since last year on social media, and Oluwamurewa is the boy she has had for us.
“Foluke treats him like her son. Foluke and Funke are doing well together as buxom sisters.”
