In a video circulating online, she was seen sharing her testimony in church. According to her, in 2023, her husband woke up one day and announced that he wanted a divorce.
The event planner explained that she felt like she had died and resurrected due to the collapse of her first marriage.
She emphasized that there were no issues between them, but her husband simply decided it was over. However, God healed her, and she was able to find love again.
During her testimony, Akwa Ugo encouraged women about healing. She shared that she initially didn’t want to be the first to stand up, but some women near her encouraged her to do so.

She urged the congregation that the only person who can heal is God, speaking from personal experience. Not only that, but she recalled holding on to God’s garment before being restored the second time and told everyone that, if nothing else, they should remember that God heals.
In related news, other Nollywood stars also tied the knot in 2025. Eve Esin announced her marriage to her Ghanaian lover in Calabar, while Akin Olaiya, a prominent actor in the Yoruba movie genre, also took the plunge earlier this year.
