Nollywood actress Sharon Ooja and her spouse have welcomed their first child, a boy. The actress announced on her Instagram page on Wednesday, giving both her first public confirmation of the delivery and an emotional reflection on her prenatal experience.
The actress acknowledged the experience’s significant personal impact and expressed her sincere gratitude for the new member of her family.
“I just gave birth to the most handsome baby boy I have ever seen,” Ooja wrote in her post. “I’m still so overwhelmed with joy and gratitude. 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.”
Ooja revealed that she chose to keep her pregnancy away from the public eye to protect her peace and maintain a level of privacy.
She thanked her close circle of family and friends for supporting this decision, describing the experience as a rewarding one despite the typical physical challenges of early pregnancy.
Reflecting on the past nine months, the actress stated, “Pregnancy made me understand God’s love in such a deeper way… unconditional, intentional, and impossible to fully explain , His Word says, “Your wife will be like a fruitful grapevine, and your children like olive shoots around your table.” And wow… God really did it in His perfect timing. You are truly a merciful God 🙏
And to my husband… Thank you for loving me so fiercely beautifully through every stage of our pregnancy. The prayers, reassurance, back rubs, trips ,baths, endless gifts , food runs and the way you carried me emotionally and spiritually these past 9 months… baby, you are truly everything. Me, Win, and Zoey are so blessed to have you ❤️
