Nollywood actress Sharon Ooja and her husband, Ugo Nwoke, have joyfully announced the birth of their first child, a baby boy, in May 2026. The exciting news, shared by Sharon on Instagram, has brought immense delight to their followers. This milestone comes less than two years after their beautiful three-part wedding celebration in June 2024, which included a traditional ceremony, a civil wedding, and a white wedding.

Ahead of the official announcement, the couple participated in a stunning maternity shoot, images of which Sharon shared alongside her heartfelt message. For the shoot, Sharon elegantly displayed her baby bump in a minimalist black bralette, paired with oversized cargo trousers in an earthy grey-taupe shade and a matching button-down shirt casually tied at the waist. Her natural curls cascaded around her, while her husband Ugo Nwoke stood by her side, matching her joyful energy and flashing a peace sign. The photos beautifully captured a couple in the midst of a wonderful, life-changing moment.

Sharon’s Instagram caption provided a deeply emotional testimony to her journey into motherhood. She wrote, “I just gave birth to the most handsome baby boy I have ever seen.” Reflecting on the period leading up to this joyous event, she added, “2025/2026 — God truly ushered me into the most beautiful years of my life and wrote a story that only He can take the glory for.” She also revealed her baby’s initials are W.I.N., proudly declaring, “You can officially call me mama win, the yummiest mummy on the block.”

In her touching message, Sharon also expressed profound gratitude for her husband’s unwavering support throughout her pregnancy. She praised Ugo for his fierce and beautiful love, detailing his contributions: “The prayers, reassurance, back rubs, trips, baths, endless gifts, food runs and the way you carried me emotionally and spiritually these past nine months — baby, you are truly everything.”

Sharon Ooja joins a growing number of Nollywood actresses embracing motherhood this season. Notably, Veekee James welcomed her daughter, Eliana Adeife Atere, on May 2, 2026, and Ini Dima–Okojie announced her own pregnancy just a month prior, marking a truly amazing period for women in the Nigerian film industry.
