Oluchi's first name in her native Igbo language means "God's Work". Her father was a civil servant, and her mother was a nurse. She and her siblings (two brothers and a sister) lived in Ayilara Street, Ojuelegba, in Surulere, a low-income area of the sprawling Lagos (the Nigerian commercial capital) metropolis. She spent her high school years as a good student, and enjoyed playing tennis and ping pong. To make her story one of rags to riches, it is often reported that to make ends meet, she sometimes sold bread on the streets of the city.
In August 2005, she married her long time companion, Italian fashion designer Luca Orlandi. On April 25 2007 their son Ugochukwu was born.
Adriana Lima and Oluchi are best friends and have been for a long time[citation needed].
