Onweagba's first name in her native Igbo language means "God's Work". Her father was a civil servant, and her mother was a nurse.[1] She and her siblings (two brothers and a sister) lived on Ayilara Street, Ojuelegba, in Surulere, a low-income area of the Lagos (the Nigerian commercial capital) metropolis. During high school, she enjoyed playing tennis and ping pong. Supposedly, she was discovered while she was selling bread on the streets of Lagos in order to make ends meet.
In August 2005, she married her longtime companion, Italian fashion designer Luca Orlandi[3]. On April 25 2007 their son Ugochukwu was born.
